Charlestown High School - Pirates Yearbook (Charlestown, IN)

Here and About: The Variety of CHS The school is here: bricks, con- crete, and glass. All made into one building consisting of classrooms, gyms, locker bays, and offices. Students were in their classes everyday, but their minds might have been somewhere else other than on the subject being taught. Daydreaming about a girlfriend or boyfriend was often the idea occupying their minds. Some could have been in a new world while reading a book in English or experiencing another land dur- ing foreign language class. Sports activities sometimes took students away on road trips to other schools. Many conference contenders, such as Paoli and Brownstown, were an hour and a half trip each way. For some competitions, the excursions were made on school nights and often interfered with an athlete's homework. People naturally did not spend all their time in Charlestown. Getting out and about included shopping sprees at various malls in Clarksville or Louisville, including the new Galleria. Entertainment also meant leaving town, since Charles- town did not offer first-run movies, concerts, bowling, or putt putt. Traveling, however, didn't interfere with having fun.

Charlestown High School and the areas surround- ing it are pictured from the air on a hazy day. The addition of speed bumps to Parkland Court, the street leading into the front parking lots of CHS, brings much criticism from students. Those who drive smaller cars feel like they are bottoming out. The speed bumps were installed in the fall to please residents living near the school. 'in
