Sophomores Dodd, Moody, and Let-ner construct posters for their class. The halls of CHS teemed with posters and banners on Monday morning of Homecoming week as competitive spirit filled the hearts of members of various classes and clubs. As Friday approached, the pace quickened so that all displays of school spirit would be completed in time. Friday morning, the gym became the setting for the presentation of the Homecoming royalty to the student body. Enthusiasm and anxieties heightened during the pep rally and car parade. But the climax came that night with the announcement of the 1968-69 Homecoming Queen and the presentation of trophies to the Seniors for the most school-spirited class and the best float, to the Junior Class for the best class banner, and to the FHA for the best club banner. Although the week's activities were now at an end, the memories became a permanent part of the hearts of those who had participated. Seniors Don Smith and Denny Merideth seem to be fenced in in their work on the Senior Float. Wannie Curtis and Diane Montgomery help build the Pep Club Float. Joyce Carter and Mary Jo Stapleton plan a poster for the Homecoming competition. 22
