Its eye holds all the memories that we sometimes have forgotten and that we would like to recall. It makes us wonder what we all would see if we could just look back through the eye of the tiger. We would remember the winning season in sports and band and chorus competitions. Even when we might focus on the bad aspects of something, the Tiger always sees the good in each area. The never-failing eye saw us through football season, the Christmas holidays, basketball season. Cotton Blossom, Prom Night and the final event — graduation. It saw the Seniors through their last and most exciting year. It observed the Juniors through their long hours of work at the concession stand and decorating for the prom. Sophomores were seen through a second year of hard work and participation, and Freshmen — it was only the beginning for them. The Eye of the Tiger watches us when we fail and helps us to see the good in everything and pick ourselves back up to start again. By starting again we will make a success of our lives. We will grow and leam to hurdle problems that would have brought us down before. Now we have the strength to climb the mountain of life and, one day, we will be able to look back at our high school years and see them in much the same way as the Eye of the Tiger did. 3

AS SEEN THROUGH OF THE TIGER.” The Words Eye of the Tiger represent more than just the title of a popular song. They reflect what the CHS student body stands for. Not just the Tiger football, basketball or tennis teams, but the students and teachers, as individuals, who participate and get involved. Those quiet heroes who voiced their opposing opinions and weren't afraid to do so. Through the Eye of the Tiger, numerous events at CHS are seen throughout each year, such as the hectic registration day at the beginning of the year. Also, remember how we panicked when the bell rang ... because we were sure we'd never make it to our next class on time? Then came the first football game of the season, which is always the most exciting. The stands of Hopke Field were crowded as the CHS Tigers played their hearts out. Soon came Homecoming week — when the Freshmen, Sophomores, juniors, and Seniors demonstrated spint and creativity. But they weren't all good times. There were moments of sadness and disappointment when our team didn't make as many points as we'd hoped, or when we failed an important test in that rough class. We learned that high school is more than just blackboards and textbooks. It is an experience that only we, the students, can make good or bad. It determines the rest of our lives. Along the line, we suddenly know our childhood days are slipping away and we will soon be adults. Now the time has come when we must go our separate ways. These precious moments of CHS will become mere memories. Seniors Dan Englehard and Julie Boyd ly and sophomores Jackie Going, Paula Gastelli. Roger Eledge, Tony Brown, and
