Holiday Season Brings Performer s’ Achievement STUDENT STAGE MANAGERS, JIMMY SAUERBIER and Mike Slezak, go over their light and curtain cues during a change of choral groups at the annual Ghoral Christmas Concert. With December came two choral assemblies and College Boards. The choral department entertained the freshman and sophomores on the third of the month and the juniors and seniors on the tenth. For some 140 students the Churchland cafeteria became an all-day center for the Admissions Testing Pro- gram on December 5. The Welfare Drive, which began in early Decem- ber, offered the first hint of the approaching Christ- mas season. Welfare representatives from each home- room collected food and money in order to help extend the season’s joy to some needy families. The holiday spirit was personified through and accomplished by a spirit of competition and chal- lenge. Most of the homerooms tried to construct a door display which best conveyed the true spirit of Christmas to passers-by. During the week before the closing of school, student stage and recording technicians and the CHS Marshals added their services to the skills of the choral groups and the CHS Band in making both of their concerts successes. The only reward for weeks of persistent practice was the intangible achievement which a performer feels when his audi- ence applauds him and thus lets him know that his efforts are not in vain. RUSHING TO MEET the deadline for the Christmas door decora- tion contest, Jenny Creek- more and Rita Cox cut out the background design for the door of Mrs. Davis, who lends moral support for this annual affair. 12 Student Life

DURING THE MOCK ELECTION JERRY DARDEN and Sandra Goodloe register Churchland students at the voting booths in the main lobby. DANNY DARDEN ADDS A PERSONAL TOUCH to the Fresh- man-Sophomore Hootenanny with his version of the popular folk tune “What Have They Done to the Rain?” IN ONE OF THE SEASON’S FOOTBALL VICTORIES, Kenny Currie shows one of his forceful efforts to gain ground; however, he is apparently stopped after little yard- age due to the efforts of Deep Creek’s David Turpin (82) and Jimmy Lawrence (42). Currie spins away and reverses his field, receiving a block from Joe Braintwain (31). Student Life 1 1

AT THEIR CHRIST- mas Concert, band solo- ists Craig Smith, David Snyder, and Syd Carroll employ cup mutes in order to enhance the ef- fect of a “blues” section in “Trumpets Wild.” ACTING AS ONE OF THE CHS MARSHAL hostesses for the Christmas band concert, Nancy Brinldey takes a ticket from a patron as part of her evening’s duties. AS DAVID SNYDER LOOKS ON, KENNY LEBOW AND Richard Cloe make the final adjustment on the recording equipment before the choral concert in December. Student Life 13
