Friends would also come to one another’s locker to visit and admire the decorations. Class members decorated the hallways at Christmas for monetary prizes. Cheerleaders also decorated for special athletic events. Being out in the hallways proved to be the best time during school. A student just couldn’t wait to go out in the hall and be with his friends. Those are the hallways of C.H.S. Leaving Our Mark 9

Leaving Our Mark in Leaving Our Mark in the Hallways of C.H.S. was one way of leaving our memories. Homework and classes were important. but it wasn’t until the bell rang that we could go into the hallways and talk with our friends or gossip or see someone that we admired that the memories really began. Passing time was only five minutes, and every student took advantage of it, like knowing what’s new or what’s old or the plans for the weekend or who was gonna call whom. People would also yell down the halls saying, “Anyone got any gum?” A person could also observe kissing, fighting, flirting, and cramming.

Leaving Our Mark With Class Leaving Our Mark With Class captured some of the “fun” aspects in the classrooms. In the year 1987-88 a few changes were seen in the classroom agenda. The first day of school brought confusion to the upper classmen because the faculty pulled a fast one and switched the teachers’ rooms to other locations. Once again, for the second year, homeroom was left out of the students’ schedules. Many were disappointed to lose their beloved band director, Mr. Coller, but the new director, Mr. Streight tried his best to take Mr. Coller’s place. Others missed Mrs. Blackburn and tried to adjust to Mrs. Fields and the new rules in the library. Some new classes were sports medicine, walking for fitness, earlybird computer literacy, and business information processing. Also, students were shocked to learn that they had to join the pep club in order to go to the pep assemblies; otherwise, they had to remain in their study halls. Even though many changes occurred throughout the year, there were many great times in the classrooms. Bobby Hoffman is too interested in the camera to see what he got on his math test. Mark Tarbox really gets into his school work. 10 Leaving Our Mark With Class
