nterprising students partake in various outlets for activities ge. ,J Silence filled deserted halls as the hands on the clocks slowly moved toward 3:27 p.m. Suddenly, at the sound of a mechanical bell, doors flew open in unison. Noises of slamming lockers and excited voices filled the air. For a couple of minutes, anyone standing near a doorway became swept outside by masses of humanity streaming to their cars and freedom. Students cast aside their books and homework as they thought of the more exciting events to come. After sitting still for six full hours, students of CHHS longed for activities to fill the next few hours of the day and night. For some, the afternoons passed with hours of practicing band routines or improving their athletic abili- ty. Others chose to spend time with various club and social organization proiects. Im- 4 2 V4 4 promptu football games sprang up at the Junior High or any backyard big enough in which to play. Bike riding and tennis playing occupied warmer afternoons, while cold weather brought such things as hunting, snow- ball fights, and sleigh riding. Foosball, air hockey, food, and gas drained the pockets of many students. Those who possessed money found ways to spend it while others had to work to earn theirs. A few students took part in city leagues or worked out with friends in the gyms while others participated in school organized sports. Many times, people iust got together and spent the hours talking or par- tying. Dances and concerts provided by both local and international groups gave students the chance to get together and do something out of the ordinary. All too soon, the time would come to start settling down to more serious things. 3 l. Club sponsored dances enable students to listen and dance to music played by various bands from the area. 2. Cheering the players on the field, CHHS students welcome the opportunity to attend one of their more exciting pastimes. 3. Anticipating a weekend full of activity, Fran- cine Yount and Jeanne Page hurry to their cars after the final bell rings. 4. With cars to lean on as they eat, Carole Shortlidge, Jamie Bryant, Danny Kaiser, and Sherry Pond discuss a party held the night before. After School 35
