pinions Evolve Among Changes About the school bond issue - I think that the public didnit care enough about the bond issue the first time and I encourage them to vote for it if they have a second chance. - Bill Hart, junior About the junk food ban - I think that if by now we aren't able to choose what foods we eat, we shouldn't be in high school. - Mark Anderson, Senior lr . li . joe jordan, Student Life Editor, interviews Mark Anderson. Highlighting the year of change was controversy surrounding the School Bond election. Students and faculty voiced their opinions to local reporters about the school's depreciated physical facilities. Among changes which would have taken place if the bond had passed would have been a new CHS.

Board of Education attempted to alter student food habits as they passed ajunk Food law which put.an end to candy and soft drink vending machines in schools. CHS and other schools then had to search for other money-making activities. 18 I OPENING i -ug! .ls 1 r Brian Shamblen, journalism student, talks to Bill Hart. ii-. 4'

Columbia Gas Co.'s ruling forced the Kanawha County Board of Education to hold school only on alternate weeks. Then rumors leaked that CHS would be merged with George Washington High School for a split session schedule. Finally, the Board decided that they could conserve enough gas by moving the Garnet Adult Education program into CHS. Below Mr. Morris discusses shared facilities with two of their instructors.
