People take for granted the importance of door- 0 knobs. Without doorknobs, going into a room would be dangerous. There would be no way to get back out. There are 998 doorknobs. How many proper parking spaces are available ' for occupancy? There are 342 parking slots. Of this total, there ' are three visitors' spaces reserved in the south lot and one reserved for driver's education in the east lot. How many students generally go through the -O 0 Health Room? ln an average day, 27 students go to the nurse, Mrs. Roberta Bentley, with their various aches and pains. The number varies from one day to the next according to the season and which diseases happen to be going around. The heaviest day was during December with 53 students and the lightest day was the first day of school when eight people visited the nurse. A O . How many cockroaches were confiscated in the Campus Cockroach Controversy ? The Student Government Executive Board, in 0 their tours of the cafeteria, found a total of 30 cockroaches. Approximately one-halt of these were dead and the other half were live. Mr. Orville Canaan verified the finding of each of these cockroaches. Q The school is set up like a college campus with the -0 nine separate buildings. Telephones are neces- sary, as well as convenient, to relay messages, but how many telephones are there? There are 27 telephones altogether with only four O outside lines. This means that only four calls to anyone outside of the school can be made at any one time. Have you ever wondered how many sticks of gum ' the bookstore sells? Annually there are about 14,000 sticks of gum 0 sold, give or take a few. lf all of these sticks of gum were laid edge to edge, they would form an area large enough to carpet a 15 by 15 toot room. O Why are 22 credits necessary for graduation here while other schools generally have a lower num- ber required? When CHS was opened during the 1960-61 O school year, it was intended to be a school of greater academic excellence. Twenty-two credits are re- quired because of the fact that there are six straight school hours, no study halls are offered. To compensate for this lack of study halls, it was strongly suggested to teachers that their classes should be planned so that they would be divided with 40 minutes of class and 20 minutes of study time. To date, this recommendation of the division of class time is still considered a school poli- cy. CAMPUS PRIDE ORGANIZATION-Back row: T. Forsyth, R. Harlan, A. Cook, M. Canaan, C. Wilson, M. Bush, L.

46 COLT trivia When the school first opened there was a very 0 strict dress code. What were the rules? A For the first several years that the school was O open, students were not allowed to chew gum during school. All boys were required to wear belts. Their shirts had to be tucked in unless they were square-bot- tomed and T-shirts were not allowed unless they were equipped with a pocket. Also, their hair could not touch the ears. Coats and ties were required upon attendance of any field trip. Male faculty members had to wear a coat and tie and female faculty were required to were hose and shoes with heels along with their dresses. Girls were required to wear dresses that were no shorter than two inches above the knee. Slacks were allowed if, and only if, a certain chill factor was reached, but jeans were never worn by girls to school. Girls were also not allowed to come to school with their hair colored weirdly. Does anyone know how many milk cartons are ' used in the cafeteria? A Each day there are 1,000 one-half pint milk car- ' tons used. In one school year there are 180,000 two and one-half inch square cartons used. If these car- tons were laid end to end, there would be 7.89 miles of milk cartons, enough to be stretched from school to Derby. For those attempting to convert to metric, this would be 12.697377 kilometers. Does anybody know how many seconds a senior O has spent in school by the time he graduates? - ,J i. l 1 A-VARSITY POM PONS-Back row: Addie Cook, Nancy Stockton, Marcia Ca- naan, Julie Renner, Diane Hoppock. Second row: DeeAnne Atkeson, Miss Laura Spears-sponsor, Debbie Logan. Front row: Cheryl Platt, Delena Cox, Teri Shaw. If a student attended every school day for 12 O years he would have spent 186,624,000 seconds in school. Each day the bell rings on and on, signaling the ' beginning of the day, the changing of classes, and the all important time, the end of the day. Has it ever occurred to you to wonder just how many times the bell does ring? A Well, each day the bell rings 14 different times. 0 This means that in one year the bell rings 2,520 times. If you add nine other various and sundry bells, one per month for fire and tornado drills, that makes a total of 2,529 times per year. O How many books are in the school library? AO There are 13,000 volumes available in the school library. Of all the lockers, how many have some sort of ' outwardly visible physical defect? There are a grand total of 1,502 lockers. Out of this number, 46 are without numberplates, nine A. have very rumpled air vents, and on the day they were counted, two locks were on backwards.

That's the way it was Jimmy Carter was elected Presi- dent and Campus stood accused in the newspaper of bad sportmanship and of having little school spirit. These events had very little similarity except that they were both of interest to Campus students. Teenagers had little choice on the matter of knowing everything about James Earl Carter, Jr. The media was full of his campaign, victory, and his policies. Brad Schlegel junior, I get tired of hearing about Carter and his family. Who cares if Chip smokes pot. Farrah Fawcett-Majors was a more interesting personality for many to in- vestigate. She became a star on the television series Charlie's Angels and her private life became the pub- lic's primary interest. Legalization of marijuana was an is- sue in the Kansas Legislature after Rep. Mike Glover of Lawrence ad- mitted he had smoked pot. Seven others also confessed they had used drug but refused to have their names released. A larger issue still was the war on pornography. Although conducted on a nationwide scale, the local contro- versy was of more interest to stu- dents. District Attorney Vern Miller led the campaign to close theaters that ran X-rated movies. The issue of obscenity was a burning one just as prohibition was years earlier. I think he's wrong in doing it. Peo- ple have a right to see what they want. Nancy Webster, senior. The matter of school spirit was a matter of concern for both students and school officials. The administra- tion made an effort to improve sportsmanship after Campus was rat- ed as having the worst sportmanship of area schools. Improvements were made throughout the year but rival- ries were still present. Steve Smith senior, I think spirit improved, but it was because we had winning seasons.
