1977 CLAVTONIAN N People who need people — the lucky ones at CCHS Who makes up a school? Around whom does our educational system revolve? What makes it possible for life to go on? People - they are the most important part of school. Every day they reveal feelings, emotions, and attitudes differently. Their individuality is expressed in many ways: the way they dress, the way they think, and the beliefs they hold. People change through life. They learn not only by education but also by experience. Some of them achieve their goals while others fall by the wayside. During these struggles everyone needs someone to help them. Bob Merrill expresses it best in one line: People who need people are the luckiest people in the world. ’ ’ 2 Table of Contents Student Life-------------------------------------4 High School Activities--------------------------------------12 Sports------------------------------------------28 Organizations-----------------------------------50 Academics---------------------------------------68 Classes-----------------------------------------80 Grade School Activities-------------------------------------100 Sports-----------------------------------------106 Organizations----------------------------------116 Academics--------------------------------------122 Classes----------------------------------------130 Advertisements---------------------------------143 Index------------------------------------------180 Conclusion-------------------------------------184 3 People need people in their everyday activities During the school year, people relate to others, share their ideas, compete with them, and enjoy their companionship. Each of these experiences expresses a need for other people. The lucky ones know the value of such relationships. Through various activities the school seeks to provide an opportunity for its people to encounter such relationships. Hopefully, the people of our school can realize their own personal needs and attain each of their goals in life as a result of such experiences. 5 Out-of-school activities offer time for sharing The final bell ending the school day rings at 3:30. From then on, people do their own thing. Activities ranging from sports participation to dating occupy their free time. People meet with others to share the good and the not so good times, whether it’s hunting, bowling, working, or suffering defeat. Through all these things we learn to understand the needs of each other. Out of school activities gives students and personnel a chance to relax after a long day's work. Through leisure time individuals encounter many things that shape and enhance their lives. In almost everything people do, the need for someone else is real whether it be in or out of school. 6 7 Student life offers adventure for everyone Through student life grade school peddle learn the need of getting along with others. Students and teachers share meaningful conversations as well as idle chatter with friends between classes. Students acquire new ideas from fellow classmates and teachers. They learn independently by reading books and experiencing life's adventures. Each day grade schoolers discover what it means to need others. 8 HIGH SCHOOL Townspeople attend annual Fall Festival The annual Clay City Fall Festival was held on September 11, 1976.

We would like to add a special EXTRA thank you to Mrs. Oesch for her patience with us, her dedication to make this a good book, and her help and guidance to the whole staff. Time has passed so quickly this year. As each day came to an end, 1 began to realize how important people really were to me. Many different feelings have been expressed from one person to another. Whether they be good or bad, happy or sad, people still needed people. My hope is that the CLAYTONIAN will convey to you the memories of people needing people during the 1976-77 school year and that each of us will treasure these memories in our hearts forever. With the end of this school year, we must depart from many of our friends and say good-bye. But in our hearts and minds there will always be the memories of the happiness and the sadness of each day that we spent with each other. By this 1977 CLAYTONIAN, I hope that those memories remain as vivid as the day they took place. The people who made these memories will always cherish each other. No matter how long or how short of time we have together . . . People will always need people. 184
