I Many clubs and organizations provide the l students with opportunities to express citi- i zenship and to prepare themselves to become : responsible citizens. The SCA, composed of all members of the student body, is the voice through which students may express their ideas and wishes. By working in this organization students learn to participate in the democratic process by ; nominating and electing members to the SCA | Council. During the year this group sponsored | assembly programs, school dances, clean-up | week, and a drive to help needy families at j Christmas. The main project was the publica¬ tion of a student handbook. Other organizations also have as their aims the building of character and citizenship. The FFA trains rural citizens, while the FHA j encourages good citizenship in the home. The t Hi-Y and Tri-Hi-Y seek to uphold high stand- ii ards of Christian conduct. All CHS clubs, | whatever their aims, give students opportuni- ■ ties to become well-rounded citizens by de- I veloping and making use of their talents and abilities and by rendering service to their ! school and community. Members of the SCA Council work on the school handbook. CHS is CITIZENSHIP practiced in Volunteers decorate the school Christmas tree. Members of the G.A.A. pack food and clothing for the needy.

Chilhowie High is a mem¬ ber of District 6, one of the strongest Group H districts in the state. The athletic pro¬ gram at Chilhowie High is constantly chang¬ ing and improving to keep pace with district rivals. The cheerleaders encourage good sportsmanship and school spirit through pep rallies and posters appropriate for each competition. The Chilhowie Lions Club each year presents an award at graduation to the athlete who during the year has displayed the best sportsmanship. Although being a winner is important, emphasis is not placed solely on winning at CHS. Teamwork, fair play, and self disci¬ pline are main objectives of the athletic program.
