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

■ h.; ENTHUSIfiSm Everyone Joined in tiie Fun and Spirit LJ though Spirit Week was only three days, with three different groups sponsor- ing each day, enthusiasm was better than ever. The Student Cabinet, Student Council, and the Cheerleaders each chose a day. The Student Cabinet spon- sored Jersey and Hat Day, Stu- dent Council chose Punk Day, and the Cheerleaders ended the week in a grand finale called Circus Day. Originated by Mrs Clark, the idea of a three-day spirit week was hoped to get more people involved in less amount of time. In past years the en- thusiasm faded out in the last days, says Student Cabinet President Jon Zucco. Wednesday, Jersey and Hat Day brought the senior and junior girls to the day of the fight. This day would be momentous for everyone in- Charging on to victory .

What other day can you spray paint your hair, wear funny looking clothes and punk out besides Punk Day? That ' s right, Thursday brought in a big mixture of everything including garbage sacks, mini skirts, and rubber boots. With the Chargers going against the Lions, Friday ' s finale had clowns, ring leaders and even lion tamers. — Syndi Scott Grabbing a drink in between classes, Mike Baldwin shows off his punk costume, — Lisa Konger Spirit Week 11
