Mid-winter Activities Add To Lively Pace At CHS “GLADYS GROSS,” GHARAGTERIZED BY Ann Hagert, “lights up” in the girls’ basement between classes. This scene is from the Pierette Glub skit on school etiquette. CHS students had just enough time to return from Christmas vacation and to settle dovra in the routine of daily school life when mid-term exams provided another break. As the days of January and the first semester became memories, the second semester brought new challenges and achivements. Signs of early anticipation rose among some seniors as February brought the first activities leading up to graduation. Senior room representatives measured the members of their homerooms for caps and gowns and took orders for calling cards and annoimcements. Members of the Senior Class play cast performed the prologue of their production for juniors and seniors at an assembly. It served as an inducement for the student body to see the play which was held on February 4 and 6 amid an air of King Arthiur’s England. Later in February a second junior-senior assembly was held. The Pierette Club put on a skit in which they satirized the school eitquette of some members of the student body. During the same asembly a vic- tory flag was presented to Chiu ' chland by the mem- bers of the SCA. With this, the school thus had an additional instrument through which individual and team achievement could be recognized. ON BEHALF OF THE student body, Mr. Beck accepts GH’s first victory flag from Joe Braintwain and Bill Spain at a February assembly. The flag, to be flown for all sports and scholastic victories and achieve- ments, was presented to the school by the SCA. 14 Student Life

Pop Music” Bands Add New Twist To Assembly On the last Thursday of February the juniors and seniors were entertained by the same hootenanny which was given for the underclassmen in November. Two rock and roll bands added a new twist to the program. The Annual District Future Homemakers Conven- tion was held at Churchland on March 3. An as- sembly which was held in the auditorium was follow- ed by a banquet. Seniors who maintained a “B” average throughout high school had their pictures taken as Honor Graduates. With these and several other group pictures in March, work on the ’65 Trucker came to an end. Many teachers required second semester term papers, and the school and public libraries were visit- ed often by Churchland students. Throughout the year many students found the use of one of these libraries as a valuable aid in their work. The Thespian Club presented its one act play to the freshmen and sophomores in a mid-March as- sembly. This month was also highlighted by two sets of tests. On the d ay of the one act play presentation upperclassmen were involved in a National math test, and later many juniors foxmd themselves taking the National Merit Test to measure their individual achievement.
