(ABOVE) 1969 Ball queen and court: Sophomore attendant, Marilyn Kuter; Queen. Jackie Morganroth; and Junior attendant, Debbie Botsko. Months of planning and hours of decorating trans- formed CHS cafeteria into a giant “Moon-lit Carousel”. This was the theme of the GAA Ball which was held on Dec. 6, 1969. The evening was climaxed with the corona- tion of the Ball queen and her court. Couples enjoyed music provided by the World Column. Not long after the ball, the ol’ Christmas spirit en- gulfed CHS. Halls and classrooms were decorated for the occasion. The Junior class won the honors of having the best decorated hall. Entitled “Winter Wonderland,” the hall was transformed into an array of falling snowflakes. The Homemakers once again gave out Christmas cheer baskets to area families. In short, the Christmas season at CHS is a happy one. 23

The dress code is gone! The Student Council was faced with a problem. CHS students wanted to follow the changing fads. But what about the dress code? The S.C. had to do something. They started in January. Girls would be able to wear slacks for one month. Polls were taken. It came very close between changing or abol- ishing the code. The S.C. went even farther. After many discussions they appealed to the School Board to abolish the code. It worked. Now CHS students can wear anything, that is, parents permitting. (LEFT) Many meetings were held in order to solve the dress code feud. (BELOW) Bonnie Peek, Starr Ross, and Kathy Goocher show the effects when you don’t have to live by the code. 24
