Despite the fact that both the administration and guidance departments seemed to be llchasing their own tailsii as they moved from place to place, the staffs continued to make im- provements in the way CHS was run. Beginning the year in the computer room, the administra- tion staff finally made it to their eventual location in the new building. After three long years of having to call almost every spare room in the school tthomefi the administration reaped the fruits of their journey as they now enjoy a spacious, new office facility. Large conference rooms, modem copying machines, and a new intercom system were just a few of the items that made the life of the administration a pure tljoyil once again. Another group who experienced many changes this year were the guidance counselors. Two new programs were de- vised by this department in order to better control discipline. and also to help promote better relations between students. The first program involved the use of so-called ttTime-out Rooms? These were places where students who got into trouble could be sent to talk out their problems with teach- ers. In these rooms the students would also do worksheets and watch films about values and cooperation in school. But as any student who visited the ttTime-out Rooml, could test- ify, being sent there was no picnic, and it certainly became a helpful deterrent to trouble. The second project initiated by the guidance department was Be Mod. It involved around sixty students who, led by J uniors and seniors serving as peer counselors, went through several different activities inside and out. Having a full class period every day to talk out problems and to learn about themselves, many CHS students were helped by Be Mod counselors and teachers to better relate to each other.

Moving from one place to another was not unusual for many of the facul- t ty members. Whether going from the middle school to the high school as Mrs. Rhoten, the school nurse, or just from one office to another, as the 560- v retaries and aides, a lot of people found themselves in a new environ- ment. Probably the most drastic change was the one made by librarian Miss Ross to the new Media Center, a great improvement over the crowded lib- rary of the past. To round out the staff of ttspecial people? were Mr. g Swift, multi-categorical resource, and Mrs. Fields, the reading specialist. Although these faculty members seemed to have little in common, they actually belong to a category of people who perform vital services at CHS. 1,...e 1 MRS.
