The academic program at CHS expanded to include more foreign languages and was still the only public high school in our county to include Latin in the curriculum. Art expanded to accommodate more interests and the Tech Center continued to provide voca- tional training. Despite the on-going struggle of the farmers, our agriculture program provided a solid background and excelled in all aspects of FFA.
