Most of them disliked spinach, home- work, and bell-bottom blue jeans. Many students at junior high participated in extracurricular activities such as sports, band, drama and UIL. Besides doing these things at school, they found time to go uptown on the weekends, grab something to eat and catch a good movie. Wherever the younger generation might appear, they took pride in their words and actions because they knew that they were students of the awesome CJHS.
