Hi Mom, Dad! What’s next? A college? Fall visits were made by college representatives, uni- versity personnel and parents during the school year. Is there life after high school? Students gathered in the fieldhouse foyer to talk with representatives from nineteen colleges and univer- sities about educational opportunities following grad- uation. Students were able to browse through pamphlets at tables manned by college representatives. The visiting professionals also spoke with CHS’ers about the advan- tages of their educational institutions. Is there life after report cards? Parents gathered at CHS in November to chat with faculty members about class requirements and pro- cedures. During the half-day session parents luncheoned with teachers in the newly remodeled cafeteria, and vis- ited from room to room.

New ‘additions’ new ‘editions’ Many areas of the school were targets for new “addi- tions” in construction. The yearbook staff also presented its new construction in the Fall. The new “edition” of the 1977 “Chieftain.” While some CHSers worked at summer jobs, others “caught some rays” while basking in the hot summer sun. During all of this student activity the cafete- ria was getting a face lift.” New tables, chairs, paneling, wall paper, and wall-to-wall car- peting were added to enhance the cafeteria decor. Work on the new auditorium began in the Fall of 1976 and continued through the Winter of 1978. The Yearbook Dance was held on September 7. Students gathered in the fieldhouse foyer for the sock hop and to obtain their copy of the book.
