Classics and Clunkers Cruise CHS Whether a car is a classic, a recent model, or just a plain old junker that runs when it feels like it, it’s probably been seen around the turns of CHS. Cars have always been popular among high school students. Since students have recently reached the driving age, the novelty of owning a car is fresh in their minds. Sports cars are among the favorites to own, the most popular being Trans-Ams, Firebirds, and other similar small cars. Many times students are seen cruising around in their cars before and after school. However, these aren't the only cars that rule the road. Many a car cruising around may look like it's a long overdue museum exhibit or a junkyard relic. How they stay together on the road is a mystery. Cars aren’t the only vehicles on the road. Students also cruise on motorcycles, mopeds, and in vans. Although gas prices soar, many students are still found cruising in their vehicles. To save gas, sometimes students carpool to parties or sports events. Some students use this parking lot to get together. A classic pickup, owned by Rick Terry, sits proudly In the parking lot.

Teens Keep Active in Summer Sur Summer for some is a time of planning for the future, but for most it is a time of relaxation and fun. Most students are relieved that school is out and look forward to three long months of swimming, tanning or just plain layin' around. Popular activities of last summer were playing softball and baseball, partying at someone’s cabin, going to drive-in movies with a favorite date or a carload of friends, and taking road trips to Omaha for concerts. A few of the headliners at these concerts were Styx, Ted Nugent, and The Beach Boys. The Platte County Fair was also a popular place to be, as it is most years. It's a place for students to go to see friends they haven’t seen since school let out, and to have some last minute fun before school starts up again. With the end of summer comes the beginning of all sports as the teams prepare for a new season of competition. The bustle of activities begins once again as everybody reminisces on the fun times they had over the summer months. The Pro-Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio is where Karin Bennett vacationed.
