 Hot Pants Ignite Year-end Fun When fun and laughter appeared to lag in the classroom or in the various organized activities, students nearly always managed to create their own forms of amusement. Some quietly took to personalizing their lockers, while others played on the lawn before school. About midway through the year the latest fad, clackers, invaded CHS, bringing with it a multitude of bruised forearms. Toward the end of the year women's fashion made its impact when fourteen girls wore the new hot pants to school and were ultimately sent home. The result was a picnic up the river. Wearing “Pepsi T-shirt is Joe Martinez. 11

Assemblies, Pep Rallies Provide Break Throughout the year a variety of assemblies were held in the CHS gym, providing needed relief from classroom life. Pep rallies were held on Fridays before athletic contests, and two other assemblies, presented by the National School Assemblies Agency and sponsored by Student Council, were staged. On October 22, Bob Yeager presented a program entitled Around the World with Reptiles. Mr. Yeager illustrated his show with his pets, ranging from a turtle to an eleven-foot anaconda captured in South America. from Routine Physical fitness was the subject on January 18, as circus performer Leo Gasca displayed his gymnastic talents before a captive audience. Operating on the theme fitness is fun, Mr. Gasca spiced his acrobatic performance with an array of comic touches. Along a more serious vein, the annual sheriff's assembly was held in May. Headed by county sheriff Forrest Wilkerson, the program dealt with the dangers of drug abuse. Guest speakers were Steve Vukcevich, ASIS Superintendent, and Vern Friedli of Morenci High.
