Pinball, pool, Space Invaders and Asteroids are just a few of the many popular games that obsessed CHS students this year. Students could often be found at the many game rooms in town trying to master the electronic machines. Popular places where students went to play the games were West- brook Lanes, Rex's and Godfather's Pizza. Most of these games ate up a quarter and lasted an average of about three to five minutes per turn. Pool and foosball also attracted many students. Students played the games mostly for fun, although some wizards played to beat the machine. Students could easily spend a few dollars trying to get used to the game, and usually by the time they had mastered it, they could have bought it.

 Parking lots at CHS this year could be seen full of cars of all shapes, sizes, and colors. A car was one of the main hobbies or interests of many students. Some students spent countless hours working on their hot rods to get them in tip-top condition. Many students showed off their wheels by cruising around, while others just used cars to get them where they wanted to go. Despite the high price of gasoline, students still enjoyed cruising around. Small cars gained popularity because of the gas prices, yet many people still liked their fast, sleek cars. The luxury of the large automobile also attracted many students.
