DISTRIBUTING CLASS RINGS ON THE first day of school Jimmy Hawks and Barbara Johnson hand out these symbols of prestige to their fellow classmates. First Day Representative Churchland High School began the school year on September 3. To some, the excitement and con- fusion of that first day was new; to others, it merely repeated itself; but to all it represented the many challenges that would face them in 1964-65. How- ever, the first day was not only one of challenges. Seniors picked up their class rings, symbols of three years of past achievement and of a year’s achieve- men to come. During the first few days students made new ac- quaintances and renewed old ones. In buying books and paying fees, students for the first time were not allowed to use checks as payment; they had to exchange them for cash in the main lobby. Academics found their place in student life almost immediately. They soon demanded large amounts of time for reports, laboratory experiments, and homework. Student life was broadened by Friday night foot- ball games. SCA members posed the problem of a sagging school spirit and sought its solution in the first assembly. The student body promptly answered by voicing support for the team at the first pep rally. As each student completed this first month, he recognized that school life is marked by constant challenges, each presenting opportunities for achievement. TO FACILITATE THE BUYING OF BOOKS this year, Mr. Davis was stationed in the main lobby to make change for students who bought books through their classes. Of Challen ges To Come AS PART OF THEIR LEARNING IN BIOLOGY, students throughout the year probed the unknown by using micro- scopes. Kaye Keith records her observations in an after- school lab session. 8 Student Life

HAVING COMPLETED AN OPERATION ON the Student Body for a case of indifference, the medical staff of Trucker General Hospital discusses how to prevent a re-occurrrence of this disease. At the year’s first assembly, SCA members Joe Braintwain, Barbara Johnson, Patty Hoffler, Lindy Rowland, and Bill Spain humorously dramatized this ill of CHS. ENTHUSIASM FOR the pep rally in Octo- ber was generated by the cheerleaders’ dressing as football players. Jody Swanson and Cathy W it- tig exert a last bit of ef- fort before jiunping high to complete a game- boosting yell. Student Life 9
