By the time we became upperclassmen, a wide variety of electives was open to us. Most of our attention was directed toward other aspects of student life, however. What we talked more about was how to dress for Spirit Week, who was going to win favorite in the Pine Burr assembly, and who was going to ask whom to the lunior-Senior Banquet. Whatever we talked about, our life at school was Second to None. l J Q S Student Life X7 UYX

Dana Ritter's favorite pastimes. 'V l x i School meant one main thing: we had to master the Three Readin', 'ritin', and 'rithmatic were still alive and well at CHS. Though students were caught up in the whirl of electives, they still had plenty of room for the basic courses: English, math, and history. Math seemed like one of the dullest subjects on earth but students discovered it was vital to every occupation. Students learned how to perform basic math operations in order to kee up with his paycheck, banE books, credit cards, and other items necessary in the x'adult world, Algebra I and Fundamentals of Math were two of the simpler courses available to CHS students. For those with desire for a greater knowledge, Trig!Elementary Analysis and Algebra ll were there for the asking. Divided among the several talented math teachers, students gained the necessary skills that will help them later on in their respective career choices. The English department pro- vided students with an exten- sive knowledge of both gram- mar and literature and taught them the trials and tribulations of constructing a research aper. Though each teacher ad his own special style, the end product was always the same: students who knew more than just how to write their own name and read a book at least two grade levels above Winnie-the-Pooh. The social sciences, while not the most exciting courses in the world, were some of the more refreshing ones. Learning about the past could be in- teresting, especially when movies such as llThe Shootist and l'Cone With the Wind were used. While the seniors of '83 got by with just three English credits, the seniors of '84 and beyond will be required to have four English credits. Though one may think the basic, required courses were a waste of time, what we remember from Mrs. Pope, Coach Davis, Mr. Kersh, and the other basics teachers, helped us keep up with the hectic pace we paced upon ourselves in our daily lives at CHS. AGONY AND DESPAIR - After grading the first civics tests of the year, Mr. lohn Cordray is left less than optimistic.
