A WARM PLACE, AN OLD FRIEND What’s happened here? Getting across a mood of what’s really happened here In the past, and now Is a tough task, but why not try. There’s something special about this place that captures everybody In some way, shape, or form, sort of a spell. What is it? Too tell the truth. It’s hard to say. Some say it’s the people who make this place happen. They’re right because without our melting pot cross section generation, we’re just another school. Observe, there’s the student who takes life day by day, the teenage mother who goes to school and comes home to a child, the study conscious bookworm blueprinting a career, the financially strapped Individual getting his education through the military, the Industrial student struggling to get through so he can learn a trade. These molded personalities just scratch the surface, since there’s over 1500 of us, and we convey our message down to the last expression. What about the building and campus, are they a part of the happening? Defl nltelyl Take a good look, mellow out, and say. “Hey, that really Is a warm place, an old friend.” CHS is captivat ing, but actually Indescribable, and the best definition Is found In ourselves. Whatever the emotion. It’s a fact that good ole stand by CHS is a second home thoroughfare to bigger and bet- ter happenings. Though we’ll all some- day part, and break-in new lives, we can credit our growing up to one solid starting block-CHS. Join the ’83 student body, have a look at our happenings and take note of the nostalgic picture insets of past hap- penings on the divlson pages. They too are a piece of CHS deserving of a spot. We’re pretty unique characters caught up in an equally exceptional building. You know, everyone should feel that way about this place. 3:10 SIGNALS an end to echool which eplaehee a man of atudenta from the building who bound to Jobe, home, or ex- tra curricular actlvltlee.
