Open campus, jungle discussed during 1975 For a short period of time during the fall of 1975, Central became the victim of gossip. Central's halls were criticized as being jungles. Letters were written to the newspaper complaining about CHS, and as a result of those letters, students set out to let people know what Central is really like. Students wrote letters to the paper and also called a local radio talk show to voice their opinions. The idea that CHS was a jungle soon died after a school board meeting at which supporters of CHS and CHS policies appeared and spoke in favor of the school. Open campus was also a topic of discussion. Kurtes Kruger, assistant principal of CHS, pointed out at the school board meeting that this year with an open campus for all students at Central, the atmosphere was more re- laxed. The biggest difference shown was in the general be- havior of the sophomore class, he said. Several students noted that the temptation wasn't there to leave when they knew they could leave, and con- sequently, they were willing to stay. Typical hall scene (ABOVE). Some girls take advantage of the open campus (BELOW). 16

Dressed in their holiday variety in ’75 garb, couples arrived at Holgate Junior High's holly- decorated gym on the eve- ning of December 19 to re- lax for a night of fun. Punch and cookies were served by some of the faculty. Sue Crosier (ABOVE) and Greg Markley express great joy in dancing. John Turner (UPPER RIGHT) dances a quick step.
