After four consecutive years of winning the state marching contest, which emphasizes precision marching and intricate drill design, the 1956 marching band gave its entire time and effort to the production of gridiron half-time shows. Marching band shows this year were based on some appropriate theme carried out in a unique and colorful manner. Among the shows presented were a salute to the coaches, vacation pastimes, television commercials and a hillbilly hit parade. The student body and the spectators both at home and away, received the shows with a great deal of enthusiasm and appreciation. Precision marching of the C.H.S.

El Reno decisioned the Chicks 19-O in a hard fought game. Lawton was too powerful and won 35-O. Ardmore won 12-O in a good defense-no offensive game for the Chicks. Norman was no match for the Chicks as they dis- played their best game of the year-winning 33-20. Duncan crushed the Chicks 40-6. And the season closed with Midwest City's winning 37-13.
