Lounge Offered Students New Place for Relaxation To many students, the most important addition to Chatham Central was the student lounge. They enjoyed using the lounge during break and lunch, as well as at dances, With more student freedom came student involve- ment. Action sessions gave interested students a chance to make contributions to the school, and to voice their gripes. As the school grew, individuals kept pace. Landis Phillips, 21970 graduate was elected as the state F.F.A. president. He was the first from CCHS to hold a state office.

New Occupational Course Prepared Participants for Careers in Food Service and Cabinet Making -Nineteen girls enrolled in the new, two-unit train- ing program Food Service. The new Home Economics Department included a special kitchen for this class. It consisted of a serving counter, a sandwich bar, a short order grill, and two French fry baskets. Observation in public restaurants was a part of the course. Upon completion of the course, the girls were able to secure employment through the Food Service Agency. Jobs included those of short-order cooks, waitresses, dieticians' aides, and caterers. Cabinet-making II, offered for the first time this year, further prepared students for the cabinet-making profession.
