If a guest of CHS would stay for more than a day he would find the after hours activities the most exciting of any at the school. After school events ore often preceeded with great excitement. This year ' s activities ' highlights include Homecoming, the first in a series of events that morks the start of the social year at CHS. Homecoming is launched with the annual parade where organizations, classes, and, this year, members of the community submit floats to be judged by on executive committee. Following the parade school spirit rises as students cheer the Trojans in the Home- coming game during which the queen is announced. After the game a Homecoming atmosphere surrounds the couples as they end the exciting evening and go to the Homecoming Dance, held in the Multi-purpose Room. The crisp, cold aura of the on-coming winter sur- rounds the Fall Fiesto this year. This semi-formal dance is sponsored by the Senior class. Winter sets in full blast and the Christmas spirit envelopes the students as they take time out from studying to attend the Christmas Dance. Red and white is the theme as Cupid fakes the floor for the February Valentine ' s Dance sponsored by the band. Spring is just around the corner, school is nearing its end, spirits are light and carefree, and the event of the year— the Prom— is just as gorgeous as ever. CHS . ♦ . Activities

Beauty as Theme of ' 64 Prom Couples stroll through the enchanted island. Couples admire the Tahition hut. The Reynold Young bond plays for the ' 64 prom. Tahitian Twilight brought great enchantment to CHS as the theme of the 1964 Junior-Senior Prom. The Juniors hosted prom-goers in typical island fash- ion. Crossing the bridge into the island scene students were greeted with leis presented to them by girls dressed in native costumes. Elegant evening gowns were admired as the couples strolled leisurely across the room gazing at the ex- otic scenery. A grass hut was the center of attraction as it provided a gay tropical air to the scene. The Reynold Young Bond was ingeniously situated in an outrigger canoe as it played soft tunes for the dancers. This South Pacific setting surrounded the couples as they proceeded with the Grand March. The excitement and suspense rose as the time drew near to announce the queen and her court. The queen, Lynn Hokanson, and princess, Linda Dolton, were presented with bouquets of roses and reigned supreme with King Warren McCorkel and Prince Neal Krieps for the remainder of the evening. As the clock struck twelve a beautiful spring moon accompanied the couples as they drifted into the multi-purpose room for the prom breakfast. After the breakfast the students v andered home with pleasant memories of the over-all splendor of the evening. 17
