' Getting the Message Students’ eyes gradually glazed over as they lost all track of the teacher’s lecture. Other students gazed endlessly at the clock . . . willing the minute hand to move just a little faster. Ab- sent-minded scholars such as these could be found any minute of the day in many CHS classes. Their boredom was often inter- ruped, however, when the voice of an administrator announced an assembly or pep rally over the intercom. On these occasions, the liberated students bounded for the classroom exits with amazing agility. Assemblies were held in the auditorium for such events as class elections, choir and band concerts and the homecoming court selections. Students lis- tened to these programs atten- tively and moans were heard throughout the auditorium, when it was time to return to class. Pep rallies were another excit- ing event in an otherwise dull school day. Enormous crowds of rowdy students flocked to the stadium on a few Fridays during football season, where they fired themselves and the football team up for that night’s game. Cheer- leaders were always on hand to lead the enthusiastic fans in a few cheers, and Tornadoettes added excitement to the event with their own style of dance routines. Pep rallies also gave CHS stu- dents an opportunity to get ac- quainted with the names of the team members and the position they played. When the rally end- ed, students filed out of the stu- dium and headed home. Students enjoyed these breaks in their schedules and never failed to make these events a suc- cess with their record high school spirit.
