See It Students As the STUDENTS SHOULD LIKE THEIR TEACHERS I think most students should like their teachers. The teachers are trying to get us ready for life and teaching us to learn from our mistakes. Students give teachers trouble. The students need to be kinder. We need to give teachers respect because they give us a lot of their time. They give us work that really helps. Donovan Weeks TAKING AN HONEST LOOK AT TEACHERS Learning is the principle rea- son for attending school. Many teachers overemphasize the fact that the students are not con- cerned about an education any more. I can say by observation that this is partly true. But the attitudes and interest of some of the teachers help to motivate this “Don't Care” attitude. There used to be a time when teachers were really interested in coming to work to help someone actually learn or accomplish material es- sential to them, now, basically the interest doesn't exceed this statement, “I’m putting in my hours to draw my check.” The students notice this in the teacher and say, “If they don’t care why should I?” So, they withdraw their interest likewise. If the teachers, as well as the students would get honestly involved, I feel that we can once more have school. School that would be fun as well as prosperous in educa- tional background. Tonja White GOVERNMENT CLASS HAS BEEN BENEFICIAL As a senior in government this year, I feel that I have worked harder in this subject than any other one in high school. I have learned how to voice my opinion by writing letters to government officials, and I feel that this helped me by assuring myself that I had an equal voice in our governmental system. In gov- ernment, my classmates and I have been helped to understand the kind of work that we will see in college. At this particular mo- ment, I really don’t like doing the work that is assigned, but I realize that it will be beneficial as I go on in life. Ron Pickens WHAT T.V. DOES TO CHILDREN I think TV is a good learning thing for children and some times it is not. You want to know why? If they like news they can learn about the country and what hap- pens. Some cartoons will teach you something or teach the little ones right from wrong. I like TV very much, but I must tell the bad parts. One is all these dirty movies. I like to watch them. The little kids should not watch them. The big teenagers can under- stand and see them, of course. Another bad thing is untrue stories that use drugs like “The Edge of Night’’ and “General Hospital.” They are not good for the young people who are coming up. They will start using the drugs, and more will start, and then more, and soon our whole country will be crazy. Titus Tyrone Stallworth OUR WARM WELCOME When I first thought of coming to Chattahoochee High School, I was insecure. I mean that you’re the new kid in a strange place, you feel out of place. Even though my friends were going to the same school, I was still in- secure. But when I came to visit the school and got such a warm welcome, I felt like part of the family. The teachers, staff mem- bers, students, and principal who particiated in the welcoming ceremonies did an excellent job in welcoming us. Now I feel a part of the school.

Faculty Staff CIasses Seniors WHO Section B FACULTY AND STAFF KEEP SCHOOL RUNNING The faculty and staff of a school are one of the most neces- sary parts. They keep it running and hold it together. The faculty and staff at CHS are a hard working group. Each has a different way of working with the students, and each con- tributes part of himself to help the students. The faculty and staff are faced with many problems. They have to get along with each other, par- ents, and students. It is a hard job, one that takes a lot of pati- ence. It is their duty to stick with the school through thick and thin. They have to keep it going when no one else will. CLASSES MAKE UP MAJORITY OF SCHOOL When you think of a school, of what do you think? You think of classes. Classes are where the action is. The teachers teach them, the administration ob- serves them, and the students are they. Yes, a school just would not be a school without the classes. There would be no reason to have a school. Classes may seem unimpor- tant and even out of hand, but a school owes them a lot. BEING A SENIOR Being a senior was always something to look forward to. There were privileges that un- derclassmen did not have. There was also the underlying thought that what you were doing would be the last time you would be doing it as a student at Chat- tahoochee High School. The ballgames, dances, and trips were the last ones you could participate in as a senior. That always made the times even more special than before. Being a senior also meant that before long you would be out on your own making your own deci- sions. That was exciting. You could then, more or less, be your own person. What a relief! Yes, being a senior was some- thing to look forward to. It made the times to look back on all the more special.
