CHS ' ers rock Dance, cheer What is an assembly? A chance to get out of class? A time to be with a friend? The time to hear the familiar expression, “Twenty-five cents? Sure, I’ll buy a ticket, anything to get out of English class!” However, most assemblies provided information as well as entertainment. During the year assemblies were held to cele- brate sports events during foot- ball, basketball, wrestling and volleyball seasons. Other assem- blies included Folk dancers. Tip Off game, In and Out basketball game. Introduction of Homecom- ing Queen candidates and the Navy Rock Band to name a few. 20

Mardi Gras Changes to Fun fair Excitement, as well as compe- tition, filled the air as CHS ' ers pitted themselves against the odds to win games and prizes at the annual Fun Fair. The activity, sponsored by Student Council, was held on Thursday, March 24 . The event retitled Fun Fair, was in past years termed a Mardi Gras. Also the activity was held in the Mezzanine rather than the old gymnasium, which was in the process of being changed into an audito- rium at the time of the activity. Funds raised were kept by the organizations. ABOVE: Lisa Zimnawoda and Becky Coates, sophomores, dress as mice and sell balloons to CHS ' ers at Calumet’s Fun Fair.
