Traditional activities on Thurs- day and Friday broke through the hysteria of the previous three days. On Thursday the Key Club, who sponsored the bonfire, and the rest of the student body don- ned their overalls to help build the bonfire. Although there was only a short time to work on it, the stu- dent body did a tremendous job. As flames shot into the air behind them, the cheerleaders led the crowd in cheers and chants to raise Bulldog spirit. Then as the fire began to die down, students gathered around it to sing the Alma Mater. The excitement of Homecoming filled the air as the girls antici- pated the delivery of mums on Fri- day morning. After practice for Homecoming ceremonies that afternoon, the pep rally, held in the gym, raised spirit even higher in order to help the Bulldogs over- come their foes that night. 14 f Student Life

.f' l '. Al A2 if fr , f J ini A3 CHS Comes Out of Closet All kinds of crazy characters came out of the closet to support the Bulldogs during spirit week. Happy Days were here again when Monday, 50's day, took CHS back through time to the days of poodle skirts, eat-eyed glasses, T-shirts, and leather jack- ets. With the rising popularity of western fashions, cowboys out- numbered lndians on Tuesday, however, the redskins got their revenge on Friday night when the Jacksonville Indians scalped the Bulldogs 14-7. From the days of the old West, time zoomed forward to the twenty-fifth century for Buck Rogers Day. Costumes complete with antennas and silver faces were out ofthis world. Even teachers got in on the act when they unveiled their hidden talents during the Faculty Follies on Tuesday night. Acts ranged from the hilarious to the insane. l. The Faculty Follies provides Coaches Tucker Bettevy and Gerald Burns with the opportunity to kick up their heels to the Cotton-Eyed Joeif 2.
