COLUMBUS SENIOR HIGH COLUMBUS, NEBRASKA THE ’72 DISCOVERER COMPETITION 14-47 INVOLVEMENT 48-93 KNOWLEDGE 94-129 PEOPLE 130-204 Have you ever thought about LIFE? MM£ Everyone must have a way of life. The home position, social level, physical and emotional health are all a part of daily living. But beyond that there must be a reason—a way of life. We must believe in something, live by something and have a shelter within ourselves. We do not simply live. We live because of others, because of things, times and places. We live because we were given life, to be happy and to find ourselves in a special way. Life is more than a routine, more than an aptitude of apathy and unconcern. To be rewarding and meaningful it must have purpose. But long-range and short-term goals are needed. Think about life each day it has a new beginning and can be a great discovery. M : $m u mW- What have I accomplished in life? What will come next? Do others consider me successful or have I been a failure? Does it really matter how other people judge my life? Why do I live like I do? Am I satisfied with myself? Could I change my life? Will I? Have you ever thought about TODAY IS THE FIRST DAY OF THE REST OF YOUR LIFE? Yesterday is only a dream, tomorrow is only a vision, but today—today we live. If we live today as we should, yesterday will be a dream of happiness, and tomorrow will be a vision of hope. Nothing is so sad as the man who spends all his time today judging tomorrow by his experiences of yesterday. Today we can begin a new life shedding our old skin which has suffered the bruises of failure and the wounds of indifference. Our old selves have become as dust. We can walk tall among men, for we are new men, with a beginning and a new life. Today is the first day of the rest of our lives. Have you ever thought about the importance of NOW? Did you ever stop to consider that what you are doing this moment may effect your whole future? When you’re frustrated or discouraged can you realize that each morning is an opportunity to begin a new life? Are you disappointed in yesterday, anxious for tomorrow or simply contented with discovering today’s success? Have you recognized that you must treat life the way you want it to treat you? You’ve got to start sometime. ■ Have you ever thought about what you would do without friends? What is a friend? Who is your friend? Is a friend more than just an aquaint-ance? What would school be like if we had no friends with whom to associate? What do you live for if it is not to make life less difficult for others? Do you meet the standards you expect of your friends? Have you ever thought about being a friend? Have you ever thought about IF AT FIRST YOU DON’T SUCCEED ? You may be whatever you resolve to be. Determine to be something in the world, and you will be something. A positive joy can be one of the greatest joys to experience. You can make some of the most sudden and drastic changes in your life by beginning the day willing everything good and meeting any obstacle with the idea that it has no power. Perseverance means standing straighter when it would be more comfortable to crawl. It means laughing instead of lamenting. It means thinking positively and speaking good words. Even more than this, persistence is a key to success. Hdve you ever thought about there being a way if there’s a will? How long has it been since you’ve proven to yourself that you are sincere in carrying out a plan? How many times have you given up if you don’t succeed the first time? Have you ever considered that a disappointment can strengthen spirits and make the joy of accomplishment seem worthwhile? Have you ever thought about ALL PEOPLE SMILE IN THE SAME LANGUAGE? The smile is one of the most powerful forces in the world. It is more than a facial expression; it is a feeling encompassing the whole body. No living creature can smile except man, so why is he so over-protective of the use of this gift? The best way to be happy is to make others happy and happiness is spread most easily and noticeably by smiling. Never should anyone allow himself to become so important, wise, powerful, or dignified that he forgets to smile at himself and at his world. A smile needs no words to accompany it since all people smile in the same language. Have you ever thought about what the world would be like if no one ever smiled? How many times have you walked past people hoping someone would care enough to smile at you? When did you last send a smile to someone else? How did it make you feel? It requires thirty-four muscles to frown and only thirteen to smile, so why make the extra effort? Of all the things you wear, your expression is the most important have you ever thought about smiling? Have you ever thought about NO MAN IS AN ISLAND? Man is incapable of living a solitary life. He is the only creature with the capacity to think for himself; yet he must rely on others for their knowledge and guidance. Because of man’s emotion, he needs others for their love, comfort and companionship. Despite man's reliance on others, he tends to forget about them and often attempts to withdraw into a shell. When he is pressured by his dependance on others, he grows bitter toward his fellow humans. This bitterness combats his happiness. It is time for us to break out of our shells of confinement, realizing and appreciating our need of others, for no man is an island. Have you ever thought about your dependance on others? Could you exist with no one else for support? Moments alone are beneficial to one's well-being but is a lifetime to be spent in solitude? is life really life without others? Have you ever thought about COMPETITION its requirements and results? efforts, practice, agony, disappointments, making the team, confidence, achievement, self-competition, defeats, victories, tears, cheers, individualism, team, pride, spirit, trophy, lettering Tennis Team-HFront Row) Keith Davy , Randy DeFreece , Glen Schrieber .

It became a way of life: a life of blood and sweat, of aches and pains, of frayed nerves and racked brains, a dedicated life of personal sacrifice for the good of the team. This sacrifice encompassed everyone: the faithful fans, the screaming booster club, the worrying parents, but most of all those who performed on the field and the coaches whose minds continually plotted strategy. What was their reward? The Big Ten Championship. The reward came when tri-captains Brian Gaver, Tom Heiser and Mike Rayman met at midfield to receive the Big Ten trophy following the 27-13 triumph over North Platte. Columbus received the honor of representing the East Big Ten in the championship game when they upset second ranked Norfolk 20-7. CHS dominated the championship game which was highlighted by Heiser’s 93-yard touchdown sprint. Five CHS gridsters received special recognition. Gaver, Heiser, Larry Kobus, Tom Krumland and Mike Wagner received All-Conference honors. Heiser was also chosen for All-State’s second team. 24 Varsity Football Squad-(Front Row) T.Moore , R.Burrows , R.Porter, B.Wertz , D.Mohrman . D.McNair, D.Wurdinger .

Nine students participated in the Nebraska All-State choir on November 18, 19 and 20. During the mini-courses one of the classes offered by the vocal department was guitar. This gave stu- dents an opportunity to learn the basic fundamentals in guitar playing. A special voice training” course gave students the opportunity to improve the quality of their voices. The annual Christmas and spring vocal programs featured various selections by the concert choir, advanced girls glee, sophomore girls glee, Chordells, and numerous soloists. The concert choir presented the musical SHOWBOAT to end the year’s activities. 56 Choir officers included director Mr. Robert Larsen, president Tom Olson, vice-president Paul Gilmore and secretary-treasurer Kathy Cum-ming.

Drama students, Randy Cheloha and Karen Langland, held the leads as unsatisfied teens in the one-act play Make Like a Dog. One-Act Plays Offered Variety In The Stoop” Kathy Glaser, Pat Kline and Stella Merry awaited death. Highlighting the year for Columbus High drama students were a series of one-act plays presented this fall under the direction of Mr. Robert Hardy. The Program, performed on November 13th, consisted of four short plays. The first of these, Make Like a Dog , concerned a young couple who were totally disenchanted with the world. In order to make their life a little more exciting, they imagined themselves to be dogs, reversing the roles when one of them grew tired. The second dramatization, entitled The Last Gasp , dealt with the reactions of various occupa-tionists on their last day on earth. Death was the subject of the third play, Stoop”. The scene was centered a-round the conversations of three old ladies as they sat on their front porches complaining about death and waiting to die. The last of the one-act plays, Postcards”, concerned a middle-aged couple who were obsessed with writing postcards to both their living and dead friends. Sandy Sample gave a shout for Worthington Women's Academy when when Evan Wilke announced Sandy Weyer as the winner of the stuck pot. Randy Cheloha and Sandy Weyer discussed a formula while dancing. CHS Students Presented The Stuck Pot” Jeff Lasley and Tim Brazeal attempted to discover the source of the unusual odor pervading the room at the annual dance. The Stuck Pot” was the title of this year’s all-school play presented on February 7th and 8th and directed by Miss Ruth Schlobohm. The story concerned the Worthington Women’s Academy in the 1940’s which was preparing for its annual dance with the Jason’s Boy’s School. The boys had devised a plan to chip in fifty-cents a piece for a stuck pot which would go to the boy who got stuck with the worst girl for the longest time. In retaliation, the girl's sent forth Alice Ann, reeking with hydrogen disulphide. Edward Mott, a chemistry enthusiast like Alice Ann, was the only one who didn’t mind the smell. Alice and Edward fell in love and the story concluded with the usual happy ending. 63 Concert Band—(Front Row) B.Croker, S.Schacher, C.Joseph, T.Boettcher, (Second Row) B.Applegate, K.Dion, M.Long, M.McDowell, D.Hasselquist, L.Chamberlain, (Third Row) H.Miller, P.Pichler, L.Girth, S.Kuntzelman, J.Loeffler, J.Keefauver, B.Tracy, B.Bussler, R.Ziola, C.Zuroski, M.Nyffeler, (Back Row) M.Fraser, J.Klug, J.McGee, J.Michaelsen, B.Weyer, L.Hadcock, R.Korger, M.Morris, S.McChristy, S.CIassen, T.Brazeal, D.Basse, B.Hadley, M.Allen, R.Koutnik.

NFL Stressed Importance of Reasoning NFL Officers included Juergen Sch-nelle, Becca Wright, Tim Tobiason, Pat Morrow and Nancy Winkle. Our goal is not to win debate tournaments, but to teach the pupils the significance of individual reasoning,” stated Mr. Hardy, new sponsor of the National Forensic League. The main goal this year was to develop interest in NFL, an honorary speech and debate organization. Towards this end, debate was introduced as a mini-course. Case construction, research and practice debates were the main activities of the debators. Under the guidance of local NFL officers, president Becca Wright, vice-president Juergen Schnelle, and secretary-treasurer Tim Tobiason, the students participated in many tournaments and individual speech contests. In the words of Mr. Hardy, Debate is an educational act. It’s probably the most beneficial act a student can be involved with, not only in school but in the community as well.” 70 ■ Kathy Gustafson and Patty Gerber assisted Miss Benns in packing toys.

They also promoted the joys and satisfactions of homemaking, became aware of the multiple roles, of men and women in today’s society and developed interest in home economics careers and related occupations. Towards this end, FHA members were involved in numerous projects throughout the year. In September, the club conducted a scavenger hunt” through which they collected toys and clothing for the children at the Beatrice State Home. The items were repaired and delivered to the Home in March. Halloween found FHA members busy trick-or-treating for UNICEF.

This included photography. page layouts, photo cropping, writing copy, captions and headlines. The staff members also had another goal to meet. The 1970 and 1971 ''Discoverer placed second in the Apollo Conference and the 1971 yearbook received a first place national rating by Columbia Scholastic Press Association. On November 1. eight staff members attended the Nebraska High School Press Association Convention in Lincoln. At this convention, members attended lectures to learn current trends in producing a yearbook. In the early spring, the assistant staff members traveled to Topeka. Kansas, where they toured the American Yearbook Company. They were given constructive suggestions and advice to improve the quality of next year's annual.

Four students attended the Nebraska High School Press Association Convention in Lincoln on November 1. At this convention the students participated in various lectures and workshops. The DISCOVERER staff, assisted by Mr. William Jack-son, tried new concepts of journalism to improve the quality and appeal of the newspaper. The newspaper was designed to inform the student body of the current and upcoming events in school. It also provided views and opinions of the students on problems or questions facing them both in and out of school. New features added to the newspaper this year included the Gripe Pipe, where students could question specific pet-peeves” concerning school. Another addition was that each issue featured a major problem of this era, such as the drug problem. Student opinions, facts, and polls pertaining to the featured topic were also included. 74 Newspapers were distributed in the commons during lunch periods. Juergen Schnelle worked with information he gathered for journalism. Cathy Rickert, Karin Koerwitz and Sandy Rathkamp compared articles from school newspapers to obtain ideas for the Discoverer.

The main theme of this workshop was How to Publicize Distributive Education in Nebraska.” 76 FTA Members Served As Teachers Aids Teacher aid Maria Lange instructed Karen Tigges in p.e. at CJHS. Future Teachers of America educated members about the numerous opportunities and advantages offered by the teaching profession, as well as the practical aspects of the career. Under the direction of Mr. Larfy Anderson, members of FTA participated as teacher aids in the elementary and junior high schools. This gave the participants a chance to encounter day-to-day teaching by checking papers, filing and helping to supervise student activities with the teacher. Speakers at the bi-monthly meetings included elementary principals Mrs. Pat Beck-enhauer and Mr. John Ernst. Members learned about the teaching profession through group discussions, lectures and experience.

Booster Club Promoted School Spirit In order to better promote school spirit and loyalty, uphold the standards of Columbus High School and raise the level of recreational attainments, the Booster Club reorganized this year under the new sponsorship of Mr. Alan Griffith and Mr. Chris Dixon. During the summer, the organization's constitution was revised to encompass several changes concerning membership and participation. Meetings of parents, teachers, members and School Board representatives were held to secure approval of the new bylaws. The sophomore cheerleading squad was eliminated with their duties being delegated to various elected officers. Booster Club sponsored several fund raising projects. In the fall, members sold poppies for the Disabled A-merican Veterans. A Slop Hop was held in November with a King Drip and Queen Drop being crowned from each class. A candle sale was conducted during basketball season and the annual chile feed with the Norfolk booster club was held in January. Plans for homecoming included the early morning breakfast for candidates held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. William Bembry. That night’s homecoming activities included coronation of the 1971-1972 royalty, dis- play of the prize-winning floats and a semi-formal dance held after the game. Members’ efforts were rewarded as the Booster Club float won the honored blue ribbon. Pep club was organized upon the merit system. Attendance at out-ot-town varsity and junior varsity athletic events, making posters and locker decorations and decorating the commons enabled Booster Club members to earn merits. If one thousand merits were accumulated, the girls received a chevron.

Reverend and Mrs. J. Graydon Wilson. Juergen Schnelle Adapted to CHS Life Juergen Schnelle discovered tests were taken world wide. Juergen Schnelle came to Columbus from Germany as part of the International Christian Youth Exchange. Sponsored by the United Methodist Youth Fellowship, Juergen made his home with the Reverend and Mrs. J. Graydon Wilson. Juergen, who was from Bielefeld, Germany, found Columbus to be different from what he had expected. He had pictured a country shown in John Wayne movies. Columbus also seemed like a small village compared with his hometown of over 175,000 people. Extra-curricular activities are non-existant in the German school system. While at CHS Juergen participated in debate, was an NFL officer and held a position on the newspaper staff. The American education system didn’t seem as complicated to Juergen as the German system where many of the subjects are politically related. Juergen, majoring in the science of law, found that the courses required for this were not offered at CHS. 86 Isa enjoyed an evening of cards with her American family including Dr. Heiser, Isa crocheted a vest of her own de-Tom, Susie, Mrs. Heiser and Joanie. sign for a mini-course project. Isa Castellanos Added a Bolivian Smile The American Field Service exchange student, Isabel Castellanos, arrived in July from Tarija, Bolivia, for her year at CHS. Isa found that living with the family of Dr. and Mrs. E. N. Heiser differed from living with her own in that she had three older brothers and four sisters instead of the three younger brothers to which she was accustomed. Isa found differences between Bolivia and the United States, especially in the school system. In her home- town of Tarija, the students studied more than twice as many subjects and therefore didn’t have the time to go into great depth in any of them. Isabel also observed better communications here between students and their teachers. After returning to Bolivia, Isa had four months of high school and exams to take before her November graduation. Isa contemplated a career in medicine after she attended college. Isa added detail to a pot she created in art class. 87 Carolyn acquired numerous American and Ecuadorian friends and relatives when Carolyn’s family toured Puerto Viejo, she spent an AFS summer in Ambato, Ecuador. a leading port. Carolyn Meyer Represented CHS in Ecuador Carolyn found that two suitcases would scarcely hold all she needed. Through the American Field Service Program, Carolyn Meyer had the opportunity to spend a summer in Ambato, Ecuador. On June 20, 1971, Carolyn flew to Miami where she met fifty other AFSers destined for Ecuador. After an all-night plane ride she arrived in Ecuador where she met her newly-adopted family for the first time. Carolyn lived with Sr. and Sra. Cesar Vayas V. and their family of four older brothers and a younger sister. With three years of Spanish, Carolyn struggled through the first few weeks but with the use of sign language and broken Spanish she finally caught on. Since the Ecua- dorian schools were not in session during Carolyn’s stay, she attended a special school with three other AFS girls in Ambato. This school was organized to teach them about the political and historical background of Ecuador. Through this AFS program, Carolyn obtained a glimpse of the problems, traditions, and attitudes of a foreign country. She found that the attitude displayed toward Americans or gringos” was that Ecuadorians often agree with the foreign policy of the United States. But Carolyn also learned that they liked all Americans with whom they came in contact. 88 AFS officers included secretary Susan Dixon, president Mary Eller, vice-presi- AFS members listened intently at dent Debbie Krumland and treasurer Linda Van Dyke. one of their monthly meetings. AFS Turned on” With Light Bulb Sales Walk together, talk together, all ye peoples of the earth. Then and only then will ye have peace.” This quotation served as a guideline for the American Field Service club as members completed their second year of activity under the guidance of sponsors Mrs. Elizabeth Gerber and Mrs. Jim Hellbusch. Working in cooperation with the adult chapter, AFS strove to promote international relationships through their exchange student program. Club members spent much of their time helping foreign exchange students adjust to their new environment. A party was held at the beginning of the school year to welcome Isabella Castellanos, the foreign exchange student from Bolivia. The club was funded through numerous bakesales and Friday-morning doughnut sales. Members also worked in cooperation with the adult chapter and the student council on a light-bulb sale held early in the fall. Some of the money was used to buy Christmas presents for Isa. 89 AFS advisor, Mrs. Gerber, discussed light bulb sales with Mary Eller.

Student Council Provided Students Through sponsorship of school activities, Student Council strove to uphold the standards of CHS, to promote good citizenship, to raise the level of scholastical and recreational achievements and to promote cooperation between faculty and student body. During the summer, seven representatives and two officers spent five days with Dr. Earl Reum at the State Student Council Workshop held in Lincoln. The time was spent learning about other councils through group discussions, general assemblies and lectures. Twenty-four representatives attended the State Student Council Convention in Omaha November 19 and 20. At the event, Columbus was recognized as an outstanding council and Elayne Jacobs was installed as state secretary. The council succeeded in securing a new liberalized dress code and second-semester open campus for seniors. During the summer, the council held group discussions involving parents, teachers, students and School Board members. In the fall, efforts of representatives resulted in the second place showing of their Homecoming float. They sponsored Snowball, Sweetheart and Twirp dances, operated the pop machine, ran the student council stand, and supervised the honor roll.

Administration Revised School Policies With the major goal of improving the school system to the best of their ability, the School Board worked on the open-campus system. This was put into operation the second semester and permitted seniors to leave the school grounds when they did not have a class. They also set about revising and instituting a new dress code allowing girls to wear jeans to school. Another new development ratified by the Board was that of separate commencement exercises for those students graduating at se- mester. Daily routine of School Board members included purchasing supplies, hiring personnel, preparing the budget and general operation of the school. Principal Mr. James Sterup and several of the faculty members visited an experimental school in Mankato, Minnesota, to compare educational techniques and procedures. Mr. Sterup also traveled to Cherry Creek School in Denver, Colorado, to observe the open classroom concept. Assistant superintendent Dr. James Herfkens scanned school bulletins. 96 Members of the School Board included (Seated) Dr. Clyde Medlar, Mrs. Ina Person, Dr. H. D.

Mr. Roger Goos and Mr. Dennis Butt, posted names of the different colleges in preparation for Educational Planning Night. Rick Burrows looked at college catalogs in the guidance office. Guidance Counselors Assisted Students Guidance counselors Mr. Dennis Butt, Mrs. Elizabeth Gerber and Mr. Roger Goos had one goal in common. This was to serve the individual student to the best of their ability. Mrs. Gerber, as sophomore counselor, assisted students in getting acquainted with a new school situation and helped the students prepare for future courses to be taken. Junior counselor Mr. Butt advised students concerning their oncoming senior year. He assisted in preparing the students for the necessary tests and requirements involved in college. Mr. Butt administered the National Merit Scholarship Test, the Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test and the Iowa Test of Educational Development. Seniors were counseled by Mr. Goos. He aided students by informing them if they had completed the necessary requirements for January and May graduation. Mr. Goos also assisted students in applying for financial aid to the schools of their choice. The guidance department sponsored an Educational Planning Night in September. Thirty-six colleges, business and technical schools participated to give the student a bird’s-eye view of the offerings which these schools had. 98 Guidance counselor, Mrs. Gerber, reviewed sophomore test records. Jeani Jones and Grace Rathkamp started with driver's education. During a class session, Mr. Jack Johnson prepared to supervise student drivers as they practiced the skills acquired in driver’s education. DP' cOUCATIOf CAR Drivers Education Emphasized Safety Driver’s education classes this year were under the direction of Mr. Jack Johnson. Goals he set for his students were based on the safety and regulations of driving. For the beginning driver, Mr. Johnson primarily wanted the students to develop the basic skills of the road and good driving habits. Mr. Johnson emphasized You can’t be an expert overnight. He stressed that a person must learn to control emotions and allow a cooling off period before going on the road. He taught the students how to avoid accidents, gave them an insight into selecting auto insurance and indicated what to look for when buying a used car. The classes also discussed the effect of alcohol, drugs and the laws of nature upon driving. In the driver’s education course, students were taught that a good mental attitude was as important as the skills of driving. It taught them to be courteous and that they were taking the responsibility of their lives and the lives of others every time they operated a moving vehicle. 99 Steve McCollum checked to make sure the air caps were secure. While Lisa Koppel and Don Haden developed film during photography class, Paula Ron Ernst taught Rex Porter the Gilsdorf and Pat Kline selected negatives to print. basic chords in guitar class. Opportunities to Further Education Macrame students worked to complete their wall-hangings. A new addition to the CHS curriculum, mini - courses gave students an opportunity to learn about subjects that interested them but which were not offered as a regular class. The idea for minicourses originated with the student council suggestion of a Think Week.” After School Board and administrative approval was secured, the idea developed into its final form as mini-courses. Courses were offered in art, science, religion, industrial arts, math, English, cardplaying, domestic arts and others. The variety of sub- jects permitted students to choose those in which they were interested. Several of the classes combined field trips and actual experience with regular classroom work to give students a better understanding of the subject. The courses ran for two weeks, from January 3 to January 14, with the school day being divided into six fifty-minute periods. Open-campus for all those involved allowed students to leave school during those times in which they did not have a class. 100 During mini-courses, Kathy Oppliger, Diane Pfeifer, Patti Beckman and Debbie Jim Rae and Bill Deyke studied a Ritzdorf made French toast for their camp cooking class. cook-book during bachelor arts. Jeff Rodgers worked on the background for film animation. Several teachers sampled the culinary delights produced by members of the French cooking class during mini-courses. Varied Widely During Mini Courses Kurt Stradely utilized film loops to aid him with his biology. Biology instructor Mr. Ron Callan assisted Mary Whetstone with an instruction before she took her next assessment. Science Department Adopted New Methods Carol Nelson and Stan Gembol completed a biology experiment. Developing students to their fullest mental capacity through use of lab materials and teacher assistance was the goal of the science department. The program aided students in gaining knowledge of life through scientific procedures. Through field trips, experiments and independent study, biology introduced sophomores to the science department. The class, based primarily on the study of living plants and animals, allowed the students to work individually and progress at their own rate. Basic lab work aided chemistry students in their study of science. They also learned the proper procedure for using a slide rule. A pass- 102 fail” system was initiated by Mr. Chris Dixon. This allowed the students to choose between receiving number grades, as is customary, or working on the pass-fail system. Offered to seniors, physiology was a science for those interested in medical-related fields. Physics, also a senior course, stressed application of basic sciences in everyday life. Computer appreciation aided the students in gaining experience in operating and programming computers. Pupils learned fortran, the basic language of computers. The course also offered a study of the history of computers and their basic components.

Better Understanding of World Problems Students realized the major problems of the political, economical and social areas through open discussions and research in the various classes of the social studies department. World studies, an optional course taken by sophomores, prepared the students for further study in social science. Students discussed concepts varying from events of ancient history to the current problems facing the modern world. World problems connected with America formed the basis for the American history course. By working individually students benefited by learning to find in- formation on their own. Working in groups broadened the pupils’ outlook on the issues by hearing views of fellow students and by contributing their own ideas on the subject. Students also participated in quiz bowls and in mock trials as part of the curriculum. Seniors participated in sociology, economics, and modern problems courses. These classes stimulated students to arrive at conclusions as to the bases and possible solutions for problems facing people today. Films, hand-outs, discussions, debates and student reports served as the backbone of the course. 105 Mr. Myron Christiansen interpreted the U.S. reasons for World War II. Dennis Brandenburg placed the finishing touches on a display. Marketing Donna Borchers completed her marketing II assignment. Marketing students Bob Kirstine and Sue Micek discussed salesmanship techniques and business fundamentals with Mr. Leon Wragge.

Speech Students Developed Confidence Promotion of better communication through practice was the main goal of the speech department this year. Mr. Bob Hardy, head of the speech department, put it this way, Because of the nature of our society we must make our place in it. Those best able to communicate are those who will succeed.” The speech program was expanded this year to develop more interest among the student body. Mr. Hardy offered a dramatic and stagecrafts class and added an acting and directing class to the curriculum. Regular speech classes were divided into semester courses. The first half of the semester was spent learning the fundamentals of speech preparation and delivery. General discussion of speech as well oral interpretation comprised the second grading period. A pass-fail grading system was adopted by the speech de partment this year. Through this, the students became more involved in the program. They evaluated each other and were made directly responsible to their classmates. Speech students participated in the Apollo conference tournaments held December 11 and the district speech contest held in March. 109 Mr. Bob Hardy glanced through criticism sheets in his speech class.

Math Classes Featured Individual Study Mr. Bernie Nitsch answered Tim Morrow's question in individualized-study math IV class. In a trend towards personalized education, the math department’s goal was to provide individual help for students. The math instructors manned the resource centers and were available to help students. A progress at your own rate attitude was adopted in algebra II and math IV. The program allowed the students to work on their own, taking their assessments when they were ready for them. It was generally felt that the pupils adapted well to this system of individualized education. Relating to polynomials and equations, the curriculum of alegebra II lent itself to the development of self-applied work. The course also included an introduction to trigonometry and logarithims.

Were the three years at CHS worthwhile? There were a-chievements and disappointments, days of confidence and frustration, variety in our contacts with others, and conflicts in our own attitudes. How did it begin? Standing in line in a big” school, anxious, lost. Becoming involved, getting acquainted with upperclassmen, initiation (ugh!) privileges, independence. One year down, two to go (can I make it that long?) Where do you turn? Towards the future? The past? Or simply exist as a junior? Dis-illusioned, progressing slow but sure, in-between, discouragements, still so flexible. An almighty senior at last. How will it be remembered? Was anything achieved? It seems worthless, yet have you ever thought of the accomplishments? Where would you have been without those friends? The leadership responsibilities undertaken were frustrating, but great experiences. Though teachers seemed like headaches, where would you be without their advice and counseling? As we remember the highlights of our three years, do we realize the importance of our education? Have you thought about what comes next? More work? College? New jobs? Enlisting?
