•Be a wild-n-crazy kid at school. •Go to the bathroom before you go to class since you can’t go later. •Get away with open campus if you can pass as being a senior or a teacher. •Know how to turn up the heat in the classrooms. •Don’t get caught doing handstands in the halls during classes. •Sharpen your pencil after the bell has rung, not before, because then it wouldn’t waste time. •Don’t make-out in the halls. •Don’t tell gossip around the teachers or faculty. •Make plans to study the night before the test because you won’t have studied earlier. •Don’t wear street shoes on the gym floor. •Have lots of fun math parties. •Don't plan on studying in study hall 117; no one else will be. •Hope it snows enough to cancel school the day before your English research paper is due. •Don’t concern yourself with other people’s business; it may prove hazardous to your health. •Be careful with your bugs in Biology. •Don’t be a sissy. •Be a STUD! •Don’t get caught cheating on a test. •Sit on the heater in the commons. It’s the only warm place in the school. •Don’t throw paper airplanes. •Don’t go into the wrong bathroom. •Have a blue slip and a good excuse if you are caught wandering in the halls. •Don’t throw chalkboard erasers when you are wearing black clothes. •Don’t eat the daisey’s. •Understand why Mr. Luther calls your parents and sends you to 104B. •Don’t be seen sneaking into school. •Make sure that teachers are teased a lot. •Sit next to the class brain in math and hopefully some of it will rub off on you. •Remember to take home your stinky P.E. clothes at the end of the first semester. They deserve to be washed at least once a year. Dos And Don’ts 9

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

1 hpre’s nothing to do! Columbus is a drag! Whaf a weekend. Couldn't find anybody! “t?ode around, got bored, went to Macs and SaCHSSsht°udents fill the halls with statements like these every Monday but once again they Thank God It’s Friday when the week’s over and they can go ‘out 3 Summer, spring and fall party grounds were closed this year due to abuse by some stu” dents Tailrace. Powerhouse and Lake North were closed off because Powerhouse was vandalized and a police car was vandalized at Lake North. Tailrace was closed because it is part of Loup Power’s property as is Powerhouse. MacDonald’s. Godfather’s. Pizza Hut and the new Burger King were some of the favorite eating places for CHS students. The theater and drive-in held interest only if their shows were good or in the drive-in’s case because it was an easy, convenient place to park. Football games, wrestling meets and basketball games were the big party nights during the fall and winter. Food places were crowded or a party was overflowing with people after these sports. Lose or not. CHS students were keyed for the after affects. (They were, that is, if they weren’t real avid spectators or the players.) Thursday nights start the Main Street ride. Sunday through Wednesday had few cars buzzing down it, but after Wednesday the street was filled. Hinky Dinky, Safeway and Equitable Savings and Loan would vow to that as their parking lots filled and the stores remained empty. UFOs filled the air down at Pawnee Park or Gerrard Park after school and on Saturdays and Sundays if the weather permitted. Fris-bees were flying, stereos were cranked or an amplifier was brought out while students got crazy. Home Box Office began this year so students did some begging and got channel five installed. It showed movies with no interruptions or cuts. It was a great way to spend a date or have friends over if ma and pa weren’t home. Dances at school or the Y attracted students but weren’t held every weekend so were just a change of pace for students with free time. 0 ✓ - ■ r 10 The Stars
