Fall Sets Spirited Tone for Year School began a day earlier for the soph- omores and those upperclassmen who were involved in the annual Weep Week Orienta- tion Program. That same night the Mighty Wildcats triumphed over arch- rival Hills- boro, 20-13, in the opening game of the season. Changing schedules, paying book fees, and receiving locks and lockers character- ized the first frenzied week of school activity. Teachers wasted no time in presenting their programs of study for the coming year. Amid groans and exclamations of joy, it was announced that report cards would be issued once every nine weeks. Work began in earnest with the seniors reading RETURN OF THE NATIVE, juniors analyzing the sins of Hester Prynne in THE SCARLET LETTER, and sophomores ex- ploring the mysteries of the library--Mrs. Peacock’s white question sheets in hand.

Midyear’s Activity— Increased Study As the winter holiday season approached, its festive spirit was darkened by the tragic death of P r e s id e nt John Fitzgerald Kennedy. The true Christmas spirit, nevertheless, was not lost but possibly intensified through the example set by our late President. The student body for their Christmas project not only offered assistance to North Carolina migrant workers but also renewed support for Thom, the Vietna- mese child. The New Year brought renewed scholastic efforts in preparation for exams and College Boards. Cold weather turnedCHHSers in-doors to the basketball court and the swimming pool. Prospects were high for both the basketball and swimming teams because of the return of many talented lettermen. 10
