As always, the week before the game was designated as spirit week. In order to show support for the team, students dressed up in unusual costumes on certain days. On Monday many displayed hats and ties in an effort to get spirit flowing. The rest of the week was filled with togas, punk rockers, slaves, and beebop- persii from the 50is. Friday was blue and gold day and also the day of the game. A pep assembly was held in which students whistled, cheered and support for roared their the 2WStudent Life Lions.

During the pre-game show, senior band members were in- troduced to the spectators and escorted onto the field by their parents. During half time, the winner of the spirit chain was an- nounced. Though they collected money for a week, the cheer- leaders lost the competition by just under $100. After a performance from the band and majorettes, Laura Burgess was named Miss Mt.

tHigh' spirited Homecoming was not a time for CHS alumni to Hcome home any more, but the traditional festivity still took place. The week of activities was altered from a Ucoming homen to a celebration and a showing of school pride. Several of the events which usually took place during the week such as the Best Male Legs Contest, the Mum sale and the walk through town were not conducted. Many other events, however, did take place. The week was started off with hat and glasses day which had much participation. Tuesday was for twins, and some students dressed similarly to a partner. On Wednesday, girls wore Hush Buttons and were not allowed to speak to boys or they would lose their button to them. J. B. Mayhew managed to capture the most buttons by causing 30 girls to talk to him. Beach Day brought shorts, sandals and Hawaiian shirts. Friday was set aside for students to wear the blue and gold school colors. Also on Friday, the halls were decorated with streamers and TAKING A BREAK from dancing, Debbie Adams watches people move to the music while others enjoy conversa- tion. 22 xStudent Life posters.
