Hm¥ ¥ memiL III III III One hundred and seventy pounds of iron rested on each side of the metal bar. Two young men slowly lifted the heavy mass of metal off the support- ing braces and placed it in the hands of a third young man lying face-up on a wooden bench. After a few slow breaths, he quickly drove the bar of weights upward, until his arms locked. This massive type of weight lift, called a bench press, strengthened the chest and arm muscles of many football players. Other lifts, such as thrusts, dips, and curls, were prac- ticed by a number of athletes in the Callaway athletic complex. After 3:15, while Callaway ' s muscle- men practiced body building, many Chargers proved their athletic versa- tility. Five weekdays of practice did not create disinterest among the mem- bers of the soccer team. On week- ends, they could be seen developing their skills on the school ' s field, or at other fields at Spann and McWillie schools. Swimming amassed many enthusi- asts among the students at Callaway. During the summer, and even in the hours of dawn before school, the hu- man fish of the Big C improved their racing times. Other Chargers participated in ev- erything from the refined sports of ballet, gymnastics, and horse riding, to jogging and tennis at the school ' s facilities. Outside their alma mater, the many students who remained unnoticed all year rivalled some of Callaway ' s most versatile Super Jocks with their athletic abilities.

THE CALLAWAY CHARGE — The peo- ple that made Callaway a school and not just a building. They electri- fied it with their various personalities and abounding enthusiasm for learning. All found themselves immersed in making friends, enduring the pleasure with the pain, and de- veloping the good ole Charger spirit which kept a Charger up through the good and bad times. The current flowed through the various classes, uniting them into one. The sophomores, like battery-oper- ated machines, at first failed to make the connection into the Callaway spirit outlet. The upperclassmen helped none by branding them crabs upon their arriyal at Callaway, but before long they found their plug and picked up on the Charger power. The juniors, more advanced models of the above-men- tioned machine, suffered no adjust- ment problems, but felt boxed in the middle by the other classes. However, class rings and fund rais- ing for the prom helped to spark up the year for them. Seniors, the de- luxe model, reigned as number one. Class jewelry, invitations, memory books, and caps and gowns helped to fill their year with excitement. Everyone shared in the spirit at pep rallies, the excitement of games and the homecoming and prom, and classes exchanged pictues, elected officers for their representation, and named class favorites. The diversity of the people at Callawa helped to keep the juices flowing that made THE CALLAWAY CHARGE. THE LITTLE YELLOW SCHOOL BUS.
