THE BEST HflflGOUT OF ALL Open campus! It's something CHS students take for granted, but without it, many students would be deprived of their favorite hangouts. The most popular type of hang-out is steps. Everywhere one looks students fill the stairways, doing homework with a step as their desk or just relaxing and discussing the day's happenings. Some more obvious hang-outs to passersby are the Civil War statue and the Trinity Cathedral lawn. Both spots are favored because of their locale, so close and yet so far away from school rules and regulations. One of the more picturesque spots is Fire escape stairways offer a vantage point for Rand McCoy and Alan Lee to concentrate on the antics of the lunch period crowd. Photo by S. Miller.

For those who like more action during their free time, the front lawn of CHS provides plenty of room for football or frisbee fanatics, as well as buildings nearby to lean on as one observes the surrounding activity. If the weather isn't just right, some like to gather in Study Hall for a game of cards or conversation. The basement hallway is another hang-out in poor weather, with the wide window sill near the cafeteria being a favorite spot of many. With it's beautiful architecture and variety of people in the center of a busy city, one never lacks for some place to hang-out .

FAVORITE FADS Take a good look at students and you will find that without realizing it, students reveal their personalities by what they wear. Many seek change in order to make life more interesting. Although everyone cannot afford to buy the latest fashions, the way things are worn says a lot too. Students were found dressed in classier styles. High, spiked heels elevated those dressed in the popular pleated and slit skirts. Clogs were worn with the more casual pants and skirts. Vests livened up blouses and were combined with skirts and dress pants. Even the guys were more dressed up in straight legged, often dressier pants. Collarless shirts were seen more, and guys wore handsome sweaters throughout the winter. Girls and guys found warmth during the winter months of cold and snow with puffy, brightly colored, downfilled ski jackets and vests. Jeans, the one thing that never seems to go out of style, were made fancier by designers like Calvin Klein, Gloria Vanderbilt, and Liz Claiborne. Life is brightened and made more interesting by the clothes people wear. A wide variety of personalities was portrayed by their dress. Ready for the disco.
