Our school life is made up of a great many activities. Though many of them are of lesser im- portance, like the little pieces of a puzzle, all are needed to make our picture beautiful and complete. If we were to try to create a puzzle depictive of school life, we would no doubt want to include pieces picturing the fun we had during these years. The parties and dances we spent hours decorating for, the pep assemblies where school spirit seemed to rock the gym, the ioy of winning a game or the despair of losing one, the race for the bus in the morning and the dash to the lunch line at noon are just a few of the pieces we have carved through the years for our own pictures of school life. Meriting special places in our puzzles showing school life are the friends we made and the time we spent talking over the life and death problems that we experienced during our school years. Some problems we recall are who our escorts would be to the prom, how many pictures we would need, how mid-terms would affect our grades, what courses we should take, and what the future would hold for us. And, without teachers, classroom ex- periences, the days we had absolutely nothing done, and the days we were fairly well prepared, school life would hardly seem right. Yes, all these things are part of our school life. As we seniors say good-bye to them all, we are sad, for it is hard to part with something which has be- come as much a part of us as this school and our friends without feeling a great loss. We realize though that we must meet new responsibilities and face the challenge to live a full and useful life. Be- cause of our friends and teachers who have so greatly influenced our lives, we can go forth and accept this challenge. We can never repay them for their interest and friendship, but we do say Thank-you in a small way by dedicating our ECHO to them. 4 .fl EI fvf gi Q' iwfyfvii A 2 i.il'illllEi 9 I . gllllyi fs. til J Willie Hal A J yi 'ff 4 pu... ,.....4-M-W -M .V W,,,s......,,,...--f ,,..w fvll

ADMINISTRATION use 'llqwilf' The importance of administration is often overlooked by many stu- dents and parents. They don't seem to realize that the work of these individuals is the basis on which our school system must either stand or fall. The administrators include a supervising principal, a high school principal, and a school board. From this board, members are chosen to serve on a committee which establishes a budget, plans curriculum, and selects faculty. The others members voice their opinion in a final vote on these actions of the committee. If we did not have their diligent work in these things, C. J. H. S. would not be as effective as an educational tool as it is now. Another group which is an essential element in our school life is the faculty. Yes, those people who keep us quiet, make us walk rather than run in the halls, give us tests and lectures, and assign a seemingly endless amount of homework are necessary. They are the ones who, next to our parents, are the greatest influence in the development of our characters. Their examples help us in making many decisions concerning right and wrong. In our twelve years of school life, members of this body have shown us the way to better living, hard work, and determination. When we walk across the stage on June 6 to receive our diplomas, many admini- strators and teachers who watched our growth from carefree seventh graders to more serious adults should receive recognition for their help in making our education possible. 6
