the real world and decide on careers. Students here at CHS change a great deal. They gain new friends and mature. They develop new interests and talents too. Some play football, wrestle, or participate in other sports. While others join Booster Club, act in plays or get involved in Stu-Co. A lot of students have part-time jobs and still can handle their homework and participate in some extracurricular activities. The current trend is towards a majority of the students who are only in school for classes and their jobs take up most of their free time. This change is having a big impact on CHS and all of the activities are suffering. This year at Columbus Senior High more changes were evident than have taken place in quite awhile, aside from the constant changes of a new crop of faces and personalities. This year CHS got a new principal, new coaches in almost every sport and some new teachers. Mr. Robert Dierman replaced Mr. Jim Sterup who had been principal at CHS for twelve years. Coach Charles Sherertz replaced Coach Neese in boys’ wrestling and the team had an excellent year. The new basketball coach, Al Schnabel, brought some of the greatest changes to CHS sports. Not only did he improve the team but he also brought in the huge crowds reminiscent to the days of Coach Jack Johnson. Coach Paul Sanderson took over the boys’ swim team and assisted with girls’ swim team. Beside personnel changes, other major changes took place at Columbus Senior High.
