Several school records were broken during the year by individuals excelling in their sport. Band had an excellent year along with the other music groups. The band’s rifle corps and flag corps were new ideas that changed the face of the band. Judges in contests seemed to have liked the change because they always rated high. The all-school musical was cancelled this year due to a lack of student participation. The musical was scheduled as “Camelot” with the leading roles chosen when the decision to cancel was announced. It was the first time in 23 years that CHS didn’t have a fall musical. Throughout the year, there were many clubs and activities to get involved in but only a few people joined in them actively. Jobs were a major reason there were fewer participants. Students felt the need to go out and get a job to earn more money. This usually occupied their afternoons and weekends. Besides the students, there were people who were also working and teaching on the set who were The Technicians: The technicians were the people who helped make the show possible. They made sure the set was ready to go when the school day began and cleaned up after. The technicians also included the directors of the show. The directors as administrators and teachers made everything run smoothly. Teachers instructed the stars in the educational script. Several new teachers joined the CHS staff in the drafting, art, English, and business areas. On the whole, the year’s effort went well. Some stars put in more time in making the show great than others did. But, all in all. everyone had a share of work to complete to make the year complete. At the end of the year, as in all past, the leading roles had to pass on the leads to the understudies. The seniors headed out into the world to star in their own show. The new school leaders have had a long practice and are ready to take over. However, that’s getting ahead of our story.

aniel Webser defined a rule as a prescribed guide for conduct or action. Senior high students have a set of rules they must follow as posted by teachers and administrators that make the school day run smoothly. However, when the sophomores first arrived at school Remember to put the engine in your car in Automotives class. •Don’t pull fire alarms; some of your friends might be eating or actually studying. •Don’t forget to bring an apple to your favorite teacher. • Turn on the electric typewriter before you start to type. •Don’t get sick the day you make ice cream in Chemistry or bake a cake in Physics. •Don’t blow big bubble gum bubbles in teachers’ faces. •Be lazy the last few days of school. •Don’t light the bonfire an hour before the pep rally starts. Their First Mistake was to believe that the only rules were the ones given to them in pamphlets, on posted signs or told to them in assemblies. There were, after all, quite a few of them. However, in addition to the normal rules that run the school, there are the “unwritten” (until now) rules of student conduct. These “unwritten rules” are passed down each year from the upperclassmen to the sophomores. The following is a list of Dos and Don’ts that are typical in the CHS school atmosphere. •Wear a watch to school because the clocks are never right. •Don’t forget to bring your tennis shoes to P.E. •Try and hide your down slip from your parents. •Don’t change lockers the day your locker decoration is to be put up. •Wear warm clothes in the winter because the heat is turned way down. •Don’t make unneccessary phone calls on the office phone. •Be friendly to every one! •Don’t lose your jock. •Don’t put your cribnotes on your hand; put them on your calculator or slide rule. They’re easier to get off. •Seniors be good first semester so that you get open campus second semester. •If you forget to take your homework home think of a good excuse for the next day when papers are to be taken up in class. •Don’t throw snowballs in open school windows. 8 The Stars
