The fall hockey season, with all its bruises. flying sticks, and crazy pucks, brought victory to the se- nior class and the blue team. Senior captain, Holly Drew, and blue team captain, Terry Harrison, were hailed by their supporters and congratulated by their worthy opponents. In the traditional hockey games with Summit and Hillsdale, the CPS team, having made much prog- ress in the past year, slaughtered Summit l-O. but put up a valiant hght with Hillsdale, losing only 4- 2, a prophetic score repeated as the schools' junior varsity teams clashed. The margin narrowed to two points this year. But who knows what progress next year's team will make!

Thursday, September 7. was the scene of much gaiety and subdued joy at returning to school one year older and a summer wiser. Girls still fresh with vacation tans grinned, laughed. and greeted old friends and new. The halls, so recently quiet. were soon jammed with students, and at 8:45. the school year officially began. It is traditional each fall for the seniors to initiate the new freshmen into high school, as part of the culmination of their progression to the sacred halls of high school. This year freshman trials, as the seniors fondly call them, began with a picnic in Alms Park with a few minor. humiliating tasks. It was not uncommon to see a pig-tailed girl stumble down to Keys Crescent load- ed with her big sister's heaviest books.

It had all the necessary ingredients: a raffle, a white elephant booth, a fortune teller, a spook house, and a wheel of fortune. And there was more: a gourmet booth, featuring unusual and famous foods, a garden booth, an arts and crafts boutique, an old book booth, a makeup booth, and to end the night with a bang; the dating game. The carnival was successful in its aim: to raise money for the stage lighting in the new gym- theater building. The most lucrative and popu- lar projects were the raffel. aided by the expert ticket-sellers in the sixth grade, and the dating game, a new brainstorm ofthe senior class. The gay spirits which permeate the air of every carnival, the popcorn, the candy. the plastic spiders, the smell of hamburgers cooking somewhere, and this unscholarly atmosphere help bring the school closer together. to bind all who are there with the unrelenting web of love. in the course of years, girls will leave and live other lives. but they will never forget CPS.
