The saying of hard times really does explain how rough it was for us to get the book done. In helping put together this yearbook there are many people to thank: first of all, I'd thank Josten's American Yearbook Company for putting up with all the late pages and missed deadlines and Mr. Dering for giving us the help and will to finish the book. I'd like to thank David's Studio for lending us pictures of activites when we had none. The Copper Era for their help in supplying pictures and letting us have their newspapers for our recycling drive. What helped us most was good advisors and staff teamwork. Most of all I'd like to thank the C. H. S. student body, faculty, and administration for their cooperation. -fYUcWi Photographers: Frank Villareal Jim McKearney Michael Rodela Donna Chacon Paulene McLain Mr. Joe Kennedy, Advisor PERFECTO’S BEAUTY SALON Super Cuts for Guys Gals Eloisa Polanco Toni Magallanes Luwana McBride Cuca Perfecto 864-3682 Coronado Blvd. HOLLYWOOD THE HABERDASHERY SHOP Odd Shop Boutique The Place To Rent All Your Formal Wear Congratulations Class of 78 Phone 865-5532 305 S.
