However, it made its presence known without the need of a calendar. The Chargers knew it had arrived when: their cars, with frosted windows after having stood in the cold all night, stalled and would not start; when tee shirts had to be traded in for sweaters and coats; when two weeks relief came with the Christmas break; when it snowed! Wrapped in the pret- tiest package one could want, the snow provided a late Christmas present in the form of a few days out of school. Some found in- genious ways of using this time. From tobogganing to riding in snow mobiles, the Chargers took full advantage of their unexpect- ed bonus. When it became clear that the snow would not last forever, Callaway ' s occupants drifted back to school and settled into their winter session: Charger- colored hats and Valentine flow- ers went on sale as the juniors began in earnest to raise money Sporting Spectators. Charger fans che the team to victory at a Callaway socc for the prom; the drama depart- ment extended its best efforts to- ward its competition play, The Serpent ; students from Mrs. Cotton ' s New Dimensions class put their best foot forward in a special morning presentation for Black History Month; and the sophomores and juniors began preparing for next year by filling out choice cards. Having done all this work, the Chargers decided they needed some playtime. Relief came in the form of the Navy ' s band. With its sound pitched high, this band regaled the students with a variety of music during assembly time. Some students treated themselves to a game of volleyball between students and faculty. Also, when Valentines Day finally arrived, hundreds of young ladies found themselves adorned with flowers. When winter officially ended, on March 23, Callaway ' s Chargers turned their thoughts from their Winter Wonderland to spring vacation and summer. Winter Activities 31

Stranger things have happened, but who cares about those. For any loyal Charger, Callaway news com- prises the only news, and many news did arrive. The bookstore, for one, acquired a partner, the atten- dance office. The addition added a twist to bookstore business and succeeded in lessening traffic in the front office. While the bookstore received company, the L ' Esprit room received paint — bonafide, actual, real orange paint. Stream- lining the walls, it brightened the atmosphere of annual work consi- derably, especially during dead- lines. In matters concerning classes, new additions pleasurably surprised the students. Carried off, not by Prince Charming but to a palace of a place, 98 pupils enrolled at the career center. Carpeting and air- condi- tioning provided an enjoyable aura for these students to get down to business. The ROTC, as a first- year fledgling in the public schools, also carried off students. One hundred and fifty students de- serted gym for this new course. Something else popped into the classroom, a new computer. This object caused many headaches for students unfamiliar with using a brain. During accredidation period, the Southern Association of Schools and Colleges also came into the classrooms. This organiza- tion, hailed with the spring, checked every nook and cranny be- fore rating Callaway as a double A, an A, or a B. Teachers had fun with self-evaluations and fervently prayed the SASC would agree with them. Mr. Oddity. Ed Sherline sits in his glory as lone male president. Chowder keg.
