WE MADE IT WORK Opening 3 Seniors only is the law in the old time-out room — the new senior cafeteria. John Bennett and Pat McCue take advantage of their senior rank to enjoy their lunch with upperclassmen. To enforce the closed campus policy, deans and ad- ministrative heads patrol the campus throughout fifth period. Principal Bill Williamson stops to talk with Tom Tague during lunch.

Falling In Line with new school policies kolicies and procedures — two words pounded into the brains of students and faculty alike the first week of school. With Bill C. Williamson as the new principal, John McLay and Curtis Geer as assistant principals, and Robert Clark, John Nicely, and Sadie Brown as the new deans, changes in school policies and procedures were inevitable. “No going off campus” finally became more than just words as deans and campus cops pa- trolled the school grounds throughout the day. “The new closed campus policy is very effective. None of my friends go off campus for lunch any- more, and bagel runs are unheard of,” stated junior Christine Crochet. Another heavily enforced policy required students to have a hall pass in hand when out of class during a period. No longer were students able to lazily skip a class while slouched on “jock wall.” “No shorts” was a new school board rule. However, students received a break from this rigid policy when, due to air-conditioning malfunctions in the gym and auditorium, Principal Williamson suspended the no shorts rule temporarily. “Some classrooms are freezing even in summer, but most of them still get pretty warm. Shorts are a real luxury,” commented senior Carey Webb. Another welcomed policy was the creation of a “seniors only” section of the cafeteria. The old time out room became a luncheon spot jealously guarded by upperclassmen and one of the few remaining senior privileges. As school spirit revived and pride in the new image of CHS grew also, students began to appreciate the changes. The year was tough at first, but without a doubt, we made it work. ▼ 2 Opening Students learn to live
