Dances, a popular new activity, sur prisingly attracted a high numtier of students Mr. Wood enjoys the Homecoming dance — Watters Studio Making the Switch back to the 50 s, Mrs. Etzler and Mr. Bauserman were decked out in their best attire on 50 ' s day. — Joe Rife Setting New Traditions The nature of the change differed throughout the year as almost every aspect of school life was slightly altered. Certain changes were inevitable; the combination of new students, a new administration, and new faculty members caused the anticipated differences in friendships, school policies, and class schedules. However, it was the unexpected differences that proved to be the most valuable. When the students returned from summer vacation they probably didn ' t realize Girls Cross Country was another new sport that faired very well in its first year. Shawne Simpson gives it her all at an invitational. — Julie Kohrman that this would be a year of change: a year in which the students, parents, and community would have the chance to openly communicate about impor- tant issues. A year in which we would all learn the meaning of respect: the respect in ourselves to care about and plan for our futures, to support what we thought was right; the respect to listen to and con- sider others ' thoughts and feelings and to en- courage them in their endeavors. These changes soon formed an unreakable bond between us all which will increase school pride and set new tradi- tions for the years to come. — Susan Lowery Setting New Traditions

STUDENT LIFE Switching Tracks Homecoming Magazine Stage Production Although students may have thought they started the academic year in the same old school, they soon found out that CHS had changed. Not the ap- pearance of the building, but the in- terior, made up of a new administration and approximately 900 students. These people made changes, both ma- jor and minor, that developed a closeness admist the entire student body. Changes were made in every area of the school to help educate and enter- tain students. Fireworks at homecom- ing, and the play Arsenic and Old Lace may have been the start of new traditions. The many convocations gave students first-hand experience in a wide variety of topics. A record breaking 400 students at- tended the homecoming dance where they participated in the limbo and hokey-pokey . The MHS sponsored a 10 17 33 very successful toga party, complete with sheets and leafy laurel wreaths. Suddenly, participating in school events was the in thing to do. Many changes were made by the new administration, some welcomed and some not. A new handbook was written, a Student Leader-Cabinet was formed, and bi-weekly Principal Stu- dent discussions were initiated. One major change that dismayed students was that 18 year olds could no longer sign out on their own consent. Using his legal background, new Principal Richard Wood attempted to find weaknesses in the Carroll program and strengthen them. But Wood ' s contribution wasn ' t limited to looking for legal loopholes. Through his energy, enthusiasm, and example of positive attitude, he led CHSers through the difficult job of swit- ching tracks. -Sandy Stahlhut Student Life
