Warm Autumn Weather ,3 Lifts School Spirit As the summer came to a close and students returned to CH8, they were faced with new administrators, a dif- ferent way of registering, and a closed campus policy. Only the seniors were allowed to plan their own schedules in the arena style. All of the underclassmen received a list of their courses and teachers in the mail. During the weeks of September, the seniors complained about the closed campus policy. After looking forward to the privilege of going out for lunch their senior year, they were de- nied it. Their complaints began to die out, however, as October rolled around and Homecoming Spirit Week preparations got underway. October also brought a lift in spirit. With the spectacular autumn colors, students took advantage of the last days of warm, sunny weather before the winter months set 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.
