Spirit and Song Echo in Commons Wanna know what’s going on ... where the action’s at? Go to the social center of the school. This, of course, is the Commons. The Commons is a meeting place for everyone. It's where students go to study, think, sleep and eat. The Commons is a place to get together and talk about plans for the weekend or to study for the big test or just relax. Students meet in the Commons before their first period class to talk about who did their homework, who didn’t, personal problems, and a little bit of everything in between. People can also be found in the Commons during a lunch period, after school, or during a study hall. The Commons is something more than just a place to talk. It is a gallery of posters and streamers promoting school spirit. It is a practice ground for the cheerleaders or lounge for students and teachers to relax In during a dance held in the cafeteria. Before Christmas break, a sing-a-long was even held during the lunch periods. Directing at a Christmas slng-a-long Is Bill Bailey. Watching over the Commons are Al Schnabel. Mona Schoenrock, and Nancy Ellis. Relaxing on the outside is Jean Alt. Resting on the ground is much more comfortable than crashing In a classroom. 22 Student Life

Loyal Crowds Boost School Spirit School spirit ran rampant through the halls of CHS. Prompted by athletic triumphs, the student body maintained a driving loyalty and strongly supported everything from football and volleyball to wrestling, swimming, and basketball. Crowds of enthusiatic Discoverer fans followed the teams from game to meet to tourney pumping up the athletes. Even rival schools such as Scotus joined the spirit bandwagon and cheered on CHS. From the SuperDis-coverer to the Blues Brothers to Section A students rallied together to give their support. Aside from the crazy costumes probably the most obvious sign of school spirit was the attendance at the Blues Brothers are a strong part ot Section A at a Discoverer sporting event. Looking for a seat at a football game is Mickie Senften. Cheering on the Discoverers are Teresa Kyster and Tonie Hockenberger as Pat Galley grabs some water. Clapping to the school fight song is the student body. 24 Student Life various events. A large and boisterous crowd, coupled with the yells of the cheerleaders and musical support from the band, helped to add to the excitement of the events and also to spur on the Discoverers. Given any Friday or Saturday night, many CHS students and faculty could be found somewhere in the stands anticipating another Discoverer victory. Pep rallies, car bashes, and dances were attended by supportive students who wanted to see their team be the best. Senior Lori Ott summed it up well, Everyone was always keyed up, and that’s what a school needs to be true champions. This year, we had it. - 1 I I 1
