Sunny Day Activities Bring End To CHS Year Ann Scott’s thoughts wander from her studies; she, as many other Truckers, found it impossible to evade spring fever. In the concluding months of the school term, the charming spirit of spring stirred hibernat- ing CHS students to a state of lively activity. Teachers who required tedious term papers and yearly projects of their students also stimulated activity, but it was ' not as joyful. Again enthu- siastic throngs appeared to participate in the “sunny day” sports, golf, tennis, track, and base- ball, and in a new sport, “hooter skootering”. The SCA election of officers encouraged CHS individuals to express their own opinions about school government. These days were flooded with gay campaign posters, rallies, candidate buttons and favors, and lively debates. The election of new varsity cheerleaders, too, captured the at- tention of every individual, especially the eager girls seeking this prize. The closing moments of school were happy ones, times of jaunty Bermuda Day, the Senior Class party, musical concerts, and a Southern style Junior-Senior Prom, marred only slightly by hectic exams. Graduation, so long awaited, now came suddenly to 250 CHS individuals. Again this year, second year mechanical drawing students were required to design and build models of their dream homes. Mike Pigg proudly exhibits his own project to curious on-lookers, David Mona celli and Eddie Snyder. 18 Student Life
