Another football season, another home- coming game. Though the Pirates1 season was not too impressive, homecoming had to be held. This time it was a Homecom- ing Hoedown, Pirate style, with senior Becky Tungate reigning as queen. The ever-popular parade was held on Monday. Sophomores won the best float and Lisa Zollman had the best decorated car. After the parade, the bon-fire fol- lowed, but by the time people showed up, the fire was out. With the decline of the FCA, the journal- ism staff supported the powder puff game on Wednesday night. Both seniors and sophomores were victorious, and Moe Stamper was crowned king. Finally, on Friday, the big game. CH5 was plotted against a tough team, Brownstown, who was ranked 6th in class A. The 16-13 1055 proved that the Pirates had done better than expected. After a spirited week, people had an op- tion of what to do after the game. Some attended the dance, sponsored by the Student Council, while others chose a so- ciable party to allow broken ball players and fans to congregate and mourn over the loss. JUST BEFORE the parade, last minute preparations go into the junior float. SENIOR BECKY TUNGATE, 1981 Football Home- coming Queen, poses with team captain Doug Jack- son after the crowning ceremony.

20 Career Day 1982 Becomes a Successful Effort Lawyers, disc jockies, and engineers. These were just a few of the speakers at- tending the March 9, 1982 Career Day at CHS. For the past few years, Career Day had amounted to several college and Armed Forces representatives being stationed in the Media Center with information on their respective institutions. In 1982, how- ever, under the leadership of guidance counselor Clyda Lutz, the entire Career Day format was revised in an attempt to muster greater student participation. In- stead of concentrating on colleges, the emphasis was placed on highlighting some specific occupations that students had ex- pressed an interest in through an earlier survey. Once the preferences of the students were known, Mrs. Lutz and her faculty committee moved into high gear. They contacted numerous individuals to see if they could brief students on their careers. Then, with the computer help of Chris Wehner, students were scheduled into five half-hour sessions of their choice. After spending a large amount of time and effort on the development of the ac- tivity, Mrs. Lutz and her committee were rewarded with the success of their en- deavor. Career Day turned out to be a valuable experience, as a good selection of occupations were offered. Both stu- dents and teachers liked the new format and felt it was informative in giving stu- dents a better perspective on careers.
