Jobs included those of short-order cooks, waitresses, dieticians' aides, and caterers.

It provided students with a greater understanding of their United States and the Constitution governing it. Students not only studied the past, but also studied the present in Modern History.

A special thank you we say to our advisor, Mrs. Betty Caviness, for the guidance and patience she showed in working with us. As Seniors, the time has come to look ahead beyond our days at Chatham Central. However, it is impossible to bury the past of our cherished high school years. The many sad times and happy times we have shared together will never be forgotten. All the sincere and proud efforts we have made to improve our school are left behind. Now, ''Here We Grow' in our separate ways. To the students, we leave our sincere hopes for continued growth of Chatham Central, just as our ef- forts have caused it to grow in the past. a 7 vees ; : a v AD : of | i 2 § fh ’ { —=aY ae a) i bs a a ir at. i tel Hit ' oy a : rin at) i Ae Ca y kt r ae Cy so aha leh cmt f i : y a os ef ay Ne Wiser, ‘av inal nih ines ‘Hi, : Se i = Pry lai ite “alae , ae , a sera? de) 9 MaDe) ee a) Tele, : } i 7 iy : i i i : Pi! ligt, : pie eC AGL. - - nu : Roa t] , .
