“Getting there” is Sometimes Half the Fun People move around in so many ways. There are trains, planes, buses, and cars. A taxi cab will take you almost anywhere and an ocean cruising ship could bring romance into your life. Some people use the old fashioned means of transportation: jog- ging, running, or walking in a mad hurry to get ... somewhere. Why do people have this preoccupation with travel? Perhaps it is the exhileration of meeting new people, or maybe seeing new places. Well, in any case, at Calumet we have a place to relax and enjoy while travel- ing through life. Every student is special and has his her own needs. At Calumet the school board, administrators, teachers, and staff members work to pro- vide a valuable educational experience for students. Learning about life is a big responsibility, CHS gives stuaents the chance for ex- perience. Programs for on- the-job training are offered in the health, industrial, and business fields. Learning can be an adven- ture with CHS’s curriculum offered in commercial, voca- tional, and academic areas. Curriculum in the academic area provides an abundance of choices. Come be a part in this journey and you will ex- perience entertainment. A variety of events throughout the school season were presented by the Drama Department, and art classes provided students with an education in “the finer things.” Vocational programs taught wood and metal working. Come and enjoy recrea- tion with traditional team sports, football, basketball, baseball, and volleyball. Also discover life sports like tennis and golf.

■ Entertainment Experiencing Tons of Fun’ on the Trip! At Club Calu-Met we not only provide an educational experience, we also offer our fellow members and guests some real CHS hospitality. In the early fall, tne journey through the school year began as students congregated in the cafeteria to obtain their copy of the 1983 Chieftain yearbook. Everyone joined in the festivities in preparation for the Homecoming 1983. Students and teachers demonstrated their enthusiasm by dressing for the annual Spirit Weelc. Activities such as flower fluffing parties, pep sessions, and the Homecoming Revue, led up to the climax of Homecoming Week: the game and the crowning of the Queen and Mr. Football In the winter months students enjoyed the nightclub atmosphere of the annual turnabout dance. The wide range of activities, carried on throughout the year, provided all school members with an opportunity for fun.
