Spirited classes battle on field during game and halftime With the arrival of November came plans for the annual Junior-Senior Powderpuff game. Girls signed up for the various teams as boys from each class got together to form the cheer- ing squads. Long practices took up a few of the evenings as the aspiring teams learned both offensive and defensive plays from foot- ball players posing as the coaches. Cheerleaders learned a few cheers but mainly spent their time limbering up their throwing arms. When the night of November 28 arrived, exuberant teams ieered at one another while they waited in the fieldhouse for the start of the game. Emotions let loose as the players lin- ed up at the scrimmage line and snapped the ball. Penalties plagued the Senior team and gave the Juniors the set up for their first touchdown. After 16 minutes of battling up and down the field, halftime activities com- menced. The Senior cheerleaders showed their talents as they bombarded the Juniors with fill- ed balloons and dozens of eggs. After the crowning of Jackie McCarter as Powderpuff King, the second half began. Coaches and players lost their tempers as the game progressed. A final touchdown in the last few minutes of play gave the Juniors the winning score of 14-0. .

Lunch gives chance for daily fellowship 24 lunch Everyday of the year in the middle of their six classes, the students of CHHS crowded into the cafeteria for lunch. Students either purchased lunches or brought something to -eat from home. For about half an hour the students had time to spend as they wished. As a class privilege, Seniors had an extra five minutes to spend at lunchtime. Lunchtime enabled students to talk and act without the watchful eyes of their teachers. Many students used this time as an extra study hall to catch up on their lessons. Records from the iukebox provided music of current songs. This fellowship during lunchtime was a welcome break in the day's classroom activities. 'l. Lunchtime provides a bit of conversation between Anita Beville, Mike Johnson, and Patsy Fleming. 2. Returning the change to her purse, Stephanie Sayers considers the price of a lunch. 3.
