4 Opening Students from all grades gather in the gymnasium for fall and winter pep assemblies. Even though kids were divided int d ' ' ' 0 a visories and unit sections, class involvement soared. Organizations also contributed as 89 clubs an squads worked after school on a variety of pri jects ranging from writing to cheering. Foilir school plays plus Children's Theatre and One Acts involved an increasing number of underclassmen. Cheer buses jammed with spirit rousers traveled to a multitude of away games and meets. The feeling of being high was within everyone, because the winning tradition carried over from last yeai. After capturing the Area WOL All-Sports trophy iln 1976, the determination prevailed as never before. So much, that CHS claimed the trophy again in 197. . Although Centerville was still broken down some- what bythe stereotypes of freaks, jocks and straights, a combined feeling of oneness prevailed because we're here and we're high on us. rd 3-

F ll iaata lu.-- With the year of the Reunion over, Centerville students faced a challenge. The Reunion had brought a closeness and a sense of achievement in every facet of the school-from athletics to aca- demics to activities. This atmosphere created a feeling of pride, a feeling of oneness, that be- came evident throughout the school. The intense feeling, we're here and we're high, penetrated the walls from Aug. 31 on, as 2680 stu- dents responded tothe challenge. As excellence on the fields and courts grew, enthusiasm in the stands abounded to peak over 9000. Academic a- chievements surpassed any in recent years with five National Merit scholars. Seniors Jeanne Briskin, Brian Douglas, Robert Coleman, steve Hinkle and Karen Okamoto, ranked nationally for their outstanding aptitude test results. 2 With his eyes on a defensive oppo- nent, Senior Jim O'Donnell boots the ball toward the goal to score for the Elks while Jim Turnbach rushes to assist. With soccer increasing in popularity, hundreds of fans gathered every Saturday evening throughout the fall season. Expert precision and timing brought the Centerville Coeds a point ac- cumulation high enough to qualify them ,for the lead, but because it was a Coed-hosted contest, they were ineligible to compete for the first place trophy. 3 Opening
