PEOPLE l0f People W, if Who were the people at CCES? They ranged from ages five to nineteen. Some were completing thirteen years at CCES while others were just embarking on their elementary education. Some were native South Carolineans, and others were trans- fer students from Egypt, Scotland, and Spain. Among the masses, there were mer- it-scholars, presidents, horseback riders, nationally ranked tennis players and swim- mers, and even a governor. The people at CCES spent the past nine months cultivat- ing their interests and talents. They set goals for themselves. If they were not suc- cessful at the first attempt, they tried until they got it right. The people of CCES were in direct comparision with the ancient Hellenians. Emotion in action - Junior Kim Holmes clears the heads of fellow teammates after the varsity Hockey Team's defeat of Charlotte Country Day. The victory was the result of a strenuous two hour match-up.

Prepared To Go, Seniors Reach Top Twelve years of school, and for some thirteen, flew by in a fleeting of an instant. Like young birds taught the techniques of flying, Seniors were ready to take flight from the nest. But birds need more than techniques to be able to fly, and looking back on years at CCES, Seniors knew that they had gained more than techniques in their education. Sometimes when the homework seemed endless, when the sports practice got too painful, or when the activities seemed to bury them, something inside pushed to the limit. And sometimes when they failed a test, lost a game, or could not quite fulfill obligations, something told them to continue. In their success and in their failure, something had revealed to them their strength, their courage, and their limits. In the nest they had shared good times and bad times, and even times when they were guilty of apparent apathy - but something continued to tell them that they did care. Sports, drama, music, art, clubs, and publications became important parts of life in the nest. In their own ways, Seniors helped build this nest. In doing so, they learned about themselves and about each other. As the result, they became closer to each other. And something told them that this closeness was what they valued, what they loved, and they knew they had achieved a better understanding of themselves. Education provided the techniques to fly, but the new understanding of themselves would guide them in their flight. The Seniors spread their wings! By May they were able, and ready, to fly. N Wasn't it Yesterday that brought them here And soon made them feel as though they had a friend? Time gave them security not to fear, For through the years each friendship would it tend. Wasn't it Yesterday that made them see l2fSemors h Xiwx, That day would give today another love That they will stand apart to see what's And help them realize the potential to be What has been made their fate by God above? Isn't it Tomorrow that they begin A new hour of learning beyond these confines, been And look with hope at the future they'll find? Now Tomorrow is today, and Yesterdays show the way. CCES Seniors swing out the familiar doors, a new role to play.
