——CHS POLES In October, 1980, the Trucker ’81 yearbook staff polled the students to determine their “favorites” in elev- en different categories. Approxi- mately 850 out of the school’s nearly 1100 students responded to the polls. Votes were tabulated and the top ten of every category was deter- mined. However, many ties oc- curred and consequently some list- ings included more or less than the top ten favorites. So here it is- what you the stu- dents chose as your favorites: Favorite Singing Group Or Singer 1. Lynyrd Skynyrd 2. Cameo 3. Switch Led Zeppelin 4. Robbin Thompson Band ©). Van Halen 6. Pat Benatar Queen 7. The Jacksons 8. Rossington-Collins Band 9. Billy Joel 10. Eagles. The Southern rock band Lynyrd Skynyrd was voted favorite group. The members of the group were Ronnie Van Zant, Allen Collins, Gary Rossington, Leon Williams, Billy Powell, Steve Gaines, and Arti- mus Pyle. A plane crash in 1977 that killed guitarist Steve Gaines and sin- ger song-writer Ronnie Van Zant was the cause of the group’s brea- kup. Within the last year, Allen Col- lins, Gary Rossington, Leon Wil- liams, and Billy Powell have joined together to form a new hit group called the Rossington-Collins Band. Over one hundred different Favorite Teacher Mrs. L. Lassiter, who has been teaching at Churchland for 14 years, has been chosen as favorite teacher. When asked why she thinks she was picked, she says, “I come in contact with individuals, and it’s not by teaching. People come up to my door to say hello and sometimes I don’t know who they are.” Mrs. Lassiter 30 CHS Polls . Mrs. Lassiter . Mr. Paige . Don’t have a favorite teacher Coach Parker Mrs. Mangus .

Among these were Alvin and the Chipmunks, who received a surprising four votes, and our own Villagers who received two votes.

Favorite Pizza Place 1. Pizza Hut 2. Milton’s 3. Zero’s 4. Jimmy’s 5. Giovanni’s Pizza has become one of the most popular “eat out” foods, and Pizza Hut was selected as the favorite place to eat at. Pizza Hut’s popular- ity stems from the choice it offers between thin and crispy pizza and the new thick Sicilian Pan Pizza. Both come topped with the pizza- lovers choice of ingredients. Pizza| Hut also offers other Italian foods,, and the ever popular salad bar. Whether dining out for pizza, or| , placing a take-out order, Church-| ; land students agree that Pizza Hut i is, ; the best place to go. ;
