'f -'S' 8 At night, Catalina again Q comes alive to play host to many special activities. Large audi- ences see plays, movies and musicals. Dances range from after-game mixers to gala proms. Each time the curtain rises or the swirling skirts of dancers move in unison, images that will become memories are recorded by impressible eyes. Q Late afternoon finds Cata- lina scholars in the school li- brary, working. At first, the stu- dents work diligently, but soon their mouths are moving faster and more often than their pen- cils. Then the mouths of the librarians droop slowly from smiles into frowns. After school loyal Trojans Q cheer the teams as they meet their opponents. Outdoor sports bring confetti, seasonal clothes, dust and half-time shows. In- doors, there are footprints on the gym floor, glints of silver and gold from the band instru- ments and hundreds of hands applauding simultaneously. Bouncing cheerleaders and songleaders stir spirit with yells and songs. Q Afternoon-and the stu- dents and teachers are again in class. Science experiments send strange odors wafting through the halls, history and problems discussions turn into debates, and band practice fills the foot- ball field with music. In Eng- lish, students argue about the authoris reason for writing, and in the language laboratory, someone switches the tapes and the Spanish class ends up speak- ing French.

Like Mirrors, Our Eyes Reflect lmages Impressing Our Memories with School Life Reflecting and turning amidst a spectrum of scenes, our eyes have seen familiar sights this year. During the 1962-63 term, each scene in the play of school life has been in much the same chronological order and setting as in past years. Yes, the sights were much the same, but the spec- tators and actors made all the difference in producing another unique year at CHS. Q Students are always coming and going at Cata- lina. They are laden with books, P.E. suits, instruments, bugs for biology, and lunches. They are happy, tired, or worried. They are Trojans. Q Between classes students discuss tests, homework, teachers and other students. Some unfortunate Trojans open their lockers to be engulfed by a deluge of papers and books. ' Early morning at CHS fills the attendance office with pupils madly trying to fill out absence excuses in triplicate before the first bell rings. Then the slips must be stamped. The day after a flu epidemic is when the stamping machine is most likely to give out.
