6 I Student Llfe Even on the coldest winter days, there was a sense of warmth at CHS. lt was a warmth felt by friends simply being friends. .. During the school day, friends gathered in the locker areas, around lunch tables, and in the commons to share secrets, spread gossip, discuss upcoming tests, badmouth teachers, seek advice on boyfriends or girlfriends, stare at what the fashion-minded were wearing, watch a fight, or eat a snack sneaked from the vending machines. Discussions could be heard on toxic waste disposal, no pass-no play rulings, deficiency slips, the Dallas CowboysfLos Angeles playoff game or the latest RATT album. Together the student body supported the athletic teams through good and not-so-good, seasons with pep rallies, spirit signs, and cheering academic events, the successful and the not-so-successful. Basically, student life revolved around one shining moment--THE WEEKEND. lt might either be the one just past or the one coming. Out-of-town trips to Waco, College Station, Austin, Dallas, Key Club dances with Machine Gun Dave, Night Ranger or Loverboy concerts, bull-riding action, journalism conventions, deer hunting or state FFA competition--all of these helped break the monotony of school life. Then it was back to school to share with friends the successes and failures of the weekend experiences.
