The Flame of Wisdom Striving to keep pace with the ever-changing world, instructors planned and prepared lessons de- signed-to equip students with the knowledge neces- sary for their future years. The flame of wisdom signified the enthusiasm students experienced in their quest to learn, to comprehend, and to acquire the foundation for our progressive generation. As the students' ideas expanded, their faces re- flected the thoughts, doubts, and inquiries they had. The teachers aided in development of mature adults, capable of expressing themselves intelligently. Learning was not confined to the classroom alone. With the help of the biology green house, chemistry, home economics, industrial and graphic arts labora- tories, students were able to learn through the use of visual and manual aids. Team teaching was introduced for the first time at CHS in American history and American govern- ment classes. Included in the new method of teaching were small group seminars, large lecture groups, and independent study periods.
