CHHS Goes To The Fair Chesterfield County’s Fair is just small potatoes to many people—a dry run for the big State Fair in Rich- mond at the end of September. At Clover Hill, however, the County Fair has a more direct impact. Not only does the County dismiss schools an hour earlier so that students may attend the Fair, but Clover Hill dis- patches bus loads of its band members to the fairgrounds for a dress parade and concert with the bands from the County’s other high schools. Mr. Owen Fahrney, Clover Hill’s band director, conducted the bands in a concert for the spectators before the grand procession around the field began. Giving the crowds their first glimpse of the contestants for the crown of Miss Chesterfield County Fair, twelve girls, two from each of the County high schools, joined the procession around the field. Clover Hill’s two contestants were seniors Gloria Rober- son and Christi Burton. Neither of Clover Hill’s two representatives brought home the title, but accord- ing to Christi, they did bring home fond memories of the contest as well as nerves which were ready for rest and relaxation. Packing away band instruments and evening gowns, Cavaliers adjourned to the midway where hot dogs, candied apples, cotton candy, and cokes were mixed in an Osterizer of rides. A fortune in quarters was dropped by the student body for carnival glass, dayglow Teddy bears, and plaster cats. But, then, that’s part of the Fair.
