Our Educational Facilities Below: While passing in the hallway, Mr. Parramore, principal, and Mr. Griffin, assistant principal, pause to discuss a mutual problem. Filling the positions of ad- ministrators at a high school is both challenging and reward- ing. There are many problems which must be faced and solved with a minimum of confusion and a maximum of discretion. Problems faced by the adminis- trators at Chattahoochee High School follow the basic pat- terns including tardies, absen- tees, discipline, textbooks, curriculum, schedules and other related details. Pre- paring the school for an evalua- tion by county staff was an ad- ditional challenge during the present term. However, the problems and differences can be pushed aside and forgotten as these people who make administra- tive decisions watch the stu- dents participate in activities ranging from academic con- tests to athletic competition. They are elated when their stu- dents succeed, and they also share the disappointment that comes with losing. Administration II3

CHS Faculty Endeavors . . . Students have found that an interesting school day makes the hour more enjoyable and coming to school more stimulating. Many students at C.H.S. find our Curriculum exciting and challeng- ing. What can be more fun than to study the body Chemistry of a frog or a star fish? How about running a business as some students do in bookkeeping and accounting block? Or learning how to do cartwheels, swish kicks and shash shaying in P.E. class while learning gymnastics. Maybe one is interested in the military. If so, J.R.O.T.C. is the class. Marching, instructing classes, learning first aid, training for firing rifles for scores and many more courses are offered by the JROTC program.
