Colossians 1:10 Filling a leadership role is never easy and always time-consuming. In his six years at CHCS, one teacher who has chosen to fill such a role has taught mathematics, science and Bible. His other contributions to the high school include his work as athletic director, boys' basketball coach and baseball coach. He has led teams to victorious seasons and state championships. New to his academic schedule this year is a Calculus class (the first ever at CHCS), which was added to the curriculum upon his recommendation. His students appreciate his devotion to the school and his honesty. In recognition of his many contributions to our school, the 1985 Encounter staff is pleased to dedicate this year's annual to Charles Caskey 10 'Bur encourage one onorher day ofrer day, os long os it is still colled 'Today' Hebrews 3:13a encouragement Love is parienr, love is Hind ond is nor jealous, love does nor brag ond is nor orrogonr, does nor ocr unbecomingly; ir does nor seek irs own, is nor provoked, does nor roke inro occounr o wrong suffered, does nor rejoice in unrighreousness, bur rejoices wirh rhe rrurh; beors oil rhings, believes all rhings, hopes oil rhings, endures oil rhings, Love never foils. I Corinthians 13:4-6a Spirit Week may have been shortened this year, but there was no shortage of fun! With daily pep rallies and after- school activities, Homecoming 1984 became a round-the- clock celebration. The student body displayed their appetites in various contests this year. From egg tossing, to sandwich muching, pie eating to the Coke chug-a-lug, it was a full course meal. Crowning Homecoming KING, Tim Plemmons, and Thursday night's bonfire were among the exciting things which built to the climax of Friday's game and the crowning of the 1984 Homecoming Queen, Theresa Stone. In September the CHCS high school set out for the hills of North Carolina to spend a week at the WILDS. The junior and senior high school groups attended the retreat together for the first time this fall. Leaving books, tests, assignments and papers behind — students experienced a week of mountain air, beautiful scenery, Bible classes and cabin life. Memories of the trip included getting acquainted with Penelope the Python, hiking to the fourth falls, bus breakdowns, I Corinthians 10:31, cold trips down the waterslide and gnats, gnats, and more gnats. In nu iij, I Colonial Hills Christian School's 1984 Homecoming centered around the theme To Know Christ and to Make Him Known. Celebrated as the silver anniversary homecoming, the evening be- gan with a chicken dinner at Randall Field. Halftime festivities began with the presentation of class floats and concluded with the crowning of Homecoming queen. Winning first place honors in the float competition was the sophomore entry, followed by the senior and freshman floats. Senior, Theresa Stone, was honored as this year's queen and was crowned by her predecessor. Miss Rhonda Gresham. After soundly defeating Chapel Hill, the evening concluded with the Fifth Quarter back at the CHCS campus. Other Homecoming representatives are juniors Linda Lowe (right), Kellie Murphy (below), and seniors Emalee Crenshaw (opposite, top) and Leah Sowell (opposite, bottom) 22 1984 Homecoming Queen 24 Ninth grade homecoming representatives were Beth Bowers (top) and Betsy Lamb (below). Attendants for the seventh grade class (at left) were Julie Rudasill (left) and Angie Mathis (right). 25 pep rallies — (pep ral leez) noun, pi (1) Organized activities centered around upcoming sports events designed to raise team spirit and student support. (2) A variety of activities involving high volume level in the school gymnasium. (3) Various events which focus on school spirit and victory involving: tricycle races, spirit awards, This is your life, funerals, mock basketball games, Stomping through the tulips, toilet paper mummy wraps and chug-a-lug contests. 29 Computer classes at Colonial Hills are well organized. Courses include Introduction to Computer, Computer Literacy, Data Management, Word processing and games. Using eight Apple II computers, the courses are designed to instill the knowledge of computers within each student and to better prepare him for the business world. Taught by Mr. Bob Young, the classes are made up primarily of upperclassmen, although underclassmen are allowed to take the courses. The C.H.C.S. Band is going places. Assisted by their new director, Mr. Jeff Cranfield, the band has had a year filled with new experiences. They have played at home football games and traveled with the team to state and national playoffs. The growing band works each day in the newly renovated bandroom. Members include: Amy White, Tina Barnes, Kim Hatcher, Armand Jones, John Sanders, David Kite, Andy White, Kirk Beckham, Craig Page, David Stroup, Jeff Law and Michael Callahan. }4 se The 1984-85 Chorus has had a full schedule of performances this year. In addition to singing in chapel, the group has performed for the PTF Open House, for the Women's Union Mission, as a part of Christmas festivities at Southlake Mall and has presented its annual Christmas and Spring Programs. Under the direction of Mrs. Chris Young, students have been motivated to improve their God-given talents as they lift their voices in song. Members of the group include: Alice Anderson, Kirk Beckham, Christie Buchanan, Ricky Cobb, Judy Daly, Darren Denison, Allison Lee, John Okam, Lynn Rosser, Valerie Rouse, Sharon Shelton, David Stroup, and Kristi Suber. Chorus Two important service organiza- tions help meet needs in the C.H.C.S. community. They are the Parent Teacher Fellowship and the Patrols. The PTF organizes the grade mother program, runs the concession at all sports events and heads up the Swiss Colony sale — a major fund- raising event for the school. This year's officers are president. Butch Jones; vice presidents. Tom- my Page and Wayne Gibson; secre- tary treasurer, Marilyn Brennan; grade mother chairman, Joyce Shel- ton; and assistant grade mother chairmen, Jane Davis, Joy Doris and Betty Hamby The Patrols, guided by sponsor, Mrs. Suzanne Talton, guard the safety of many C.H.C.S. students. The duties of these junior high school students who are chosen as patrol members each quarter include helping elementary students cross the streets safely, patrolling the hallways, and getting elementary students to their classes in an order- ly manner each morning. J8 39 CHCS Encounter Staff braved a year of new experiences to present the student body with the “Color My World yearbook. Under the direction of a new sponsor, Karin Fary, and editor, Paige Beaty, the 12-member staff worked during 7th period each day (and often on weekends) to put this year's book together. Eight new annual members, four of whom were new to CHCS this year, joined the four returning Encounter staff members to help meet the four major deadlines. Helping assemble this year's Encounter were Paige Beaty, editor opening section; Dee Claborn, artwork students ads; Amy Dawkins and Jennifer McMillan, class section; Ri- chie Hunt and Sven Pipien, ad sales layout; Diane Patterson, senior section; Ray Pelot, club section photographer; Julie Thompson and Amanda Walls, sports section; and Angie Ward, advertising manager activities section. 41 Every spring for the past several years Mrs. Stroup has converted her seventh period study hall students and several wayward annual staff members into a publications crew which prepares The Rambler. The students recruit other student writers, read the works, select the best poems, essays and short stories and design the book to put them in. The book is a compilation of the works of students who wish to participate, participate. Working on this year's book are Jeff Griggs, Ray Pelot, Jane Collins, Linda Sowe, Steve Martin, Alicia Proctor, Connie Bowman, Kimberly Wallace, Angie Ward, Dee Claborn, Kristin Jones, and Paige Beaty. 43 pLTAk LUB (w nk' fr,°m el4) C nS Strevcl' ™ Calhoun- w«ley Gibson, Andy Martin, Chuck Eidson Cra Page, Mur.cc Miller Lynn Sm.thw.ck, (second, from left) Miss Williamson, Melissa Jones.

' 7 44 CHCS Beta Club, a community-oriented organization, is under the guidance of Miss Vivian Williamson. Four main qualities distinguish members of the club: leadership, scholarship, service and character. Students active in athletics, band, chorus, annual staff, or as class officers who maintain a 3.0 average may qualify as inductees. The group is involved in fund-raising projects geared toward helping the community. Executive club officers are (top, right, from right) Lynn Rosser, president; Christie Buchanan, vice president; Tina Monk, secretary treasurer. 2 u c o +- o c .2 o The CHCS National Honor Society is a tough club to get into. To be considered for NHS, a student must have a minimum grade point average of 3.5 for four quarters in a row. The NHS is responsible for the morning announcements as a service to the school. Another service available is tutoring a student in a certain subject at the request of any student. Members of the Colonial Hills chapter exceed the expectations of the Society. Members are involved in various school sports, chorus and other activities of the school. 1985 National Honor Society inductees are: juniors, Lara Corbett, Wesley Gibson, and Rene Green and senior, Theresa Stone. NHS officers are Lynn Rosser, president; vice-president, Christy Callahan; Christie Buchanan, secretary; Melissa Jones, treasurer; Todd Calhoun, boys' chaplain; Leah Sowell, girls' chaplain. 47 so JV Cheerleading The 1984-85 sports season was great for the Junior Varsity Cheerleaders. Throughout football and basketball seasons, the cheerleaders supported their teams with loyalty and enthusiam. Besides thinking that cheerleading was loads of fun, this squad realized how much hard work needed to be put forth. This effort was evident each time the squad performed. Team cooperation and spirit also helped build close relationships between the girls. Being a cheerleader during this school year meant: .. . fun .. . excitement . . . hard work ... good friends . . . fun bus trips . . . celebrating the JV football State championship .. . discipline ... challenge . .. goals to achieve ... a winning spirit! JV Football This year's JV football team was the result of 2 years of patient labor. From a 1-5 record two years ago, and a 2-4 last year, the team rose to undefeated state champions with a 5-0-1 re- cord this year. The squad's opponents scored only three touchdowns against the much improved Ram defense, led by linebackers John Bruce and Mark Runyans. The defense shone in the Mount Vernon game (the team which had beaten the squad 38-0 and 36-6 last year) as the Rams held their opponents scoreless both times they played, and even scored a safety in the incredible 2-0 victory. The only blemish on the team's record came at the hands of the very large Pineland JV team, and even that game could have been a victory except for a few key fumbles and a missed conversion. The squad's offense was greatly improved, scoring 15 touchdowns in six games and three more touchdowns against varsity-aged teams. Led in excellent line blocking by David Stroup, the offense was aided with backfield talent, Rodney Brennan and Mike Selfe, alter- nating as quarterback; Mark Runyans and John Bruce, at full back; and Troy Bowman and Mike Selfe at tailback. The true measure of the team came when they faced Chapel Hill's VARSITY at their home- coming game in Macon, with the aid of only three B-teamers: Chuck Eidson, Lynn Smith- wick and Jeff Law, who played mainly in the second half. While the team led at the half 6-0, they lost due to a blocked punt and a fumble near their goal line. The climax of the season was the champion- ship game against Mount Vernon at Randall Field. The outcome was certain early in the game when the Rams held their opponents on downs followed by a quarterback sneak run by Rodney Brennan on the first play for a 50 yard touchdown. A long run by Mike Selfe, a pass from Mike to Rodney, a run by Troy Bowman, as well as two excellent runs by John Bruce, called back due to penalties added to the 28-0 victory. And to add to the feeling of accomplishment. Mount Vernon never threatened the goal line. JV FOOTBALL: (back, from left) Coach Dick Engle. Coach Bob Brennan, Sonny Howell. Rodney Brennan.

From the 23 girls who tried out, a select group of 11 young ladies survived the long ordeal of cuts, grades, sickness and withdrawals from school. Of those 11, only 2 were returning players, and neither had been starters. Games were a lot closer and more exciting, yet the team maintained its winning tradition. Excluding the team's nemesis, the East Point All Stars, no team was victorious over the JV Girls more than once. The Lady Rams split games with Clayton, Mount Vernon, and Woodward in the regular season. The team was led by captain, Michelle Bradford, leading scorer as well as leader in assists and steals. Also leading the squad was Susan Haist, second highest scorer and rebounder. Pleasant surprises for this year's team were transfers Becki Foster (third scorer and leading rebounder) and Beth Bowers. Other important new players, Julie Shelley and Amy Wall, aided the teams with assists and rebounds. Filling out the rest of the roster were new, young and inexperienced players who showed great signs of improvement throughout the year.

The team scoring was well distributed with all the young men scoring and performing well, offensively and defensively. Sonny Howell moved the team in the court with his ball handling skills and alertness. Wings, David Stroup and Ben Moore, contributed through needed field goals and working the ball inside to the posts. The final two starting positions at post were ably filled by Mike Selfe and Mark Runyans who were high scorers. Mark averaged 15 to 20 points, and Mike, 10 to 15 points. All of the young men tried hard and performed well as a team, which led to the team's ability to get the ball down the court and inside to the posts. These things could not have been accomplished without the effort and cooperation of the whole team which included: Matthew Pinholster, Greg Williams, David Sheets, John Bruce, Andy White, Craig Brown, Rusty Martain, and Jon 'The Pack Smack Intyre — our eager and aggressive bench.

While in Memphis the girls started their muscle-aching days at 6:30 a.m. and talked well into the night every night. Their most exciting accomplishments (aside from close fellowship and squad discipline) were earning the camp's Spirit Stick, several superior” ribbons and a nomination for the Award of Excellence. As the school year progressed the squad's year was filled with more pep rallies than the year before; road trips to Florida, Augusta, Tennessee and an overnight stay in Savannah; National Championships; and a basketball pep rally — where the girls got to see firsthand what the sport is all about. In a special competition at the National Championship, the CHCS Varsity Cheerleaders placed second. Memories of the triumph include the LONG bus ride, winding mountain roads and frigid temperatures. The squad wishes to recognize some special people for their contributions: Mrs. Beaty, for enduring practice at her house; Mr. Jones, for chauffeuring the squad to Tennessee and playing dad for the group; Mr. Alexander for providing the care and the Gatoraide and of course, Mrs. Jones for sticking with them throughout the year. 63 The 1984 Volleyball season was a productive one for the 18 girls on squad. The Lady Rams learned to ap- ply new skills as they worked to- gether as a team. By performing well under pressure, the team suffered only one regular season loss. The girls put together an aggressive non-stop team by relying on each others' talents. The squad looked for good spikes from co-cap- tain, Georgia Howard, Julie Thomp- son, Brenda Kimbell and Emily Horne; consistant bumping from the whole team; blocking from Shannon Shelton and Sandy Emeott; non-re- turnable serves from Shannon, Julie, and Sandy and scrambling effort from captain, Sandy Emeott. Working together the Lady Rams placed second in state, behind first- place Shiloh Hills — a team which CHCS had defeated once during reg- ular-season play. CHCS was able to outfit a junior var- sity team for the first time this year. The young squad improved their skills and their record as the season progressed. Again this year the Lady Rams were invited to the national competition hosted by Tennessee Temple in Chattanooga, Tennessee.

The 1984 line up had a lot of new faces and didn't really gel until mid season. The Rams began their season against Forest Hills, which proved to be an easy game with the Rams shutting out their opponents 22-0. Coosa met the Rams at Randall Field and led most of the game, until Richie Lankford passed toSkeeter Stacks for the game winning touchdown with time running out. A trip to Tallahassee, Florida proved disastrous for Maranatha as the Rams blew them out 49-0. CHCS won a tough game over Mount Vernon 22-0 for their first conference win. Pineland of Savannah was a worthy foe but suffered a 27- 20 loss at the hands of the Rams. Chapel Hill from Macon was two-time victim as many varsity reserves saw plenty of action. The second conference win came after a come- from-behind win against a talented Shiloh Hills (27-12). Calvary of Montgomery, Ala., didn't prove as tough as expected as they were defeated 27-0. Westminster of Gasden, Ala., shocked the Rams with a 40 yard field goal in the last 50 seconds for a 23-20 win on their own field. The last regular season game was the high- light of the year for the Rams. This final con- ference game provided a 34-14 win and an- other state championship. Colonial Hills hit early, fast and hard in shocking the entire conference as well as the highly favored and much talented Bible Baptist from Savannah. The Ram season ended with 10-1 record and the right to play for a mythical national cham- pionship in Dayton, Tenn. The team never regained the momentum and ended the season as Coosa got revenge 15-8 in the first game and Bethlehem shut the Rams out in the consolation game 16-0. 68 VARSITY FOOTBALL: (back, from left) Coach Bill Thorn, Jeff Alexander, Greg Tankersley, Brian Todd, John Selfe, Conn Barrow, Jay Hudson, Donald Brooks, Skeeter Stacks, Tim Plemmons.

The squad deter- mined it would have to work to earn its victories, and with only 3 losses for the season the girls did work hard. Spirit is high as a result of the com- petition not only among the players but also among the fans. Each player has been forced to devel- op her abilities to the fullest and put 100 percent in the games. The Lady Rams have proven that they can perform under pressure. The season has been one of learning hard, but valuable lessons. VARSITY GIRLS BASKETBALL: (back from left) Sharon Shelton, Emily Horne, Brenda Kimbell, Shannon Shelton, Julie Thompson, Coach Glenda Morris, (front from left) Sandy Emeott, Alice Anderson, Leslie Houser, Leah Sowell, Judy Daly. Twenty bodies showed up for tryouts and sixteen young men made the Ram roster to begin the 1984-85 season of round ball. Five seniors returned to give the team experience. One more senior, six juniors, and four sophomores, were added to the roster. This squad moved into competition with hope and determination to do well. The struggle to find workable units caused the team a slow beginning, and some cases it plagued them for the year. The last couple of weeks before Christmas break brought a five game winning streak, though there was much improvement to be made before the squad could con- sistently add to the wins column. January started well but ended in disaster. Winning only fifty per- cent was far beneath expectations. The Rams' desire was to stabilize the offensive effort and play with more intensity on defense. In each area the team tried to learn from its mistakes, get up from de- feat, play harder, encourage one an- other, develop the team concept and loyalty, and never quit as the members sought to honor the Lord in all they did.

Ev- erything is new: new school, new teachers, new friends, new work, and new activities. Not only do the kindergarteners enjoy learn- ing with their teachers, they also enjoy singing with the music teacher and having story time with the librarian. During the year the children hear a story each day from God's Word and learn a Bible verse each week. Learning to know God as Savior and learning to obey God's Word are the most important things to be learned! Kindergarten students learn the names and sounds of the letters in the alphabet. They learn to count orally to 100 and to work with the numerals up to 10. They also learn the correct manuscript formation of the alphabet letters and copy sentences from the board. Not all the learning takes place in the class- room. Trips to the fire station, to the Atlanta Symphony's concert for children, and to Stone Mountain are some of the more enjoyable learning activities.

In addition to the mastery of reading, writing and mathematic fundamentals, first graders strive for understanding of simple spiritual truths. Several trips were planned to focus on the world God has created. Students went to the High Museum of Art, where they visited the department dealing with the five senses. Other activities included a trip to the children's symphony and a springtime adventure at a game ranch to enjoy God's creation. Photo unavailable for: Roger Ayers.

Students long to write in cursive (until they HAVE to). Reading skills are strengthened. Students tackle multiplication tables and master telling time. (They never miss 12:30 - recess and 3:00 — dismissal). The class enjoys having the Thanksgiving program and learning to play the flutaphone. A highlight of the school year is the study of Georgia history, which includes making a scrapbook, and a field trip to the Capital building and the Wren's Nest.

Math, Sci- ence, and Social Studies have become major subjects, (much to the students' dislike), and the teachers try to keep studies interesting with field trips and special theme days. The class expecially enjoyed a trip to the China exhibit and Hawaiian” and Japanese” days at school. Students also visited Atlanta water and waste treatment centers. Though the brain of each student has been stretched, some far more important growth has occurred in many lives. Stu- dents learn to read the Bible and understand it for them- selves, and many fourth grade students have begun their walk with God this year by becoming Christians.

Fifth graders learned about the discovery, exploration and colonization of America. They studied plants, animals, the weather and energy, as well as the Bible, math, and English. Class favorites included P.E. and Capture the Flag. Constantly on the move, this group visited the Atlanta Symphony, a plantation and the Civil War Museum at Stone Mountain.

One of the class' favorite subjects is P.E., and students especially enjoy the game, “Return of the Jedi. Spelling, Bible and science are other subjects they enjoy.

Tim Briggs Brack Dodd 131 Rene Beard Dede Bowman Christi Bussey Michael Callahan John Cleveland Tracey Cook Susan Evans Seventh Graders Face The Challenge Of Junior High Together Seventh grade marks the beginning of junior high school. Students are anxious for the many changes which occur this year. Experiences include changing classes, literature, Pre-Algebra, lockers, homeroom and class of- ficers. This year's class is a unique group with only one section of seventh grade. Consequently, the class moves as a unit throughout the day. This togetherness has encouraged loyalty to one another, to the class as a whole and to the school. The class has worked as a unit, under the leadership of their class officers, on fund raising projects and on compiling a Christmas goodie box for a foreign missionary. Class officers (at right): Mike Hensley, boys' chaplain; (second row, from left) Angie Warnock, girls' chaplain; Kim Kellogg, secretary; (bottom, from left) Julie Rudasill, vice president; and Christi Bussey, president.

They have al- ready adjusted to changing classes, lockers, homeroom and class officers, and are now preparing for even more adjustments as they look forward to the begin- ning of their high school careers. During their final year as junior high schoolers, these students say good- bye to early lunch with the “little kids, the side sec- tion in Monday morning chapel, and, of course, P.E. classes. As they look toward high school, eighth graders get ready to greet foreign lan- guages, typing classes, computer and those won- derful high school provi- leges that they have heard so much about. 134 Tommy Bradberry Craig Brown Holli Davis Julie Davis Yvette Friend Michelle Holland Carol Houser Sonny Howell Allison Jackson Traci Jordan Jennifer Orr Kelli Petitt Matthew Pinholster Stacy Presley Mona Ramsey David Whited Stephen Wilkens Jamie Williams Jennifer Yancey Yvette Zupp 135 CHCS Freshmen Learn To Survive High School Pressures Derek Barber Tina Barnes Kirk Beckham Katrina Bell Mike Bennett Beth Bowers Michelle Bradford Rodney Brennan Jason Brim Mike Brown John Bruce Brian Byrd John DeLye Becki Foster Charles Harris Jason Howard Wendy Howard Betsy Lamb Joshua Lee Susan Macmahon Lori Martin Class officers: (top, from left) Ben Moore, vice president; Wendy Monk, secretary; (middle) David Stroup, president; (bottom, from left) Betsy Lamb, girls chaplain; Mark Runyans, boys chaplain. 136 Jennifer McMillian Channing Miller Wendy Monk Ben Moore Cindy Oxford Alicia Proctor Billy Ray Mike Reagan Mark Runyans John Sanders Having made the transition from junior high to high school, the freshman class is ea- gerly seeking to learn the survival skills of secondary education, like: . .

Nothing can take this class by sur- prise — not even a swarm of new teachers in almost every subject area. For these students memories of their sophomore year include Homecoming float parties at Engle's store — com- plete with a puppet show (given by a few guys who had inhaled helium as part of the special effects). Other highlights include Mr. Peeler's num- ber system and Joe Cool with his very cool, shaven head. Other special personalities in the class are Beaker, Moose, Pringle, Hulio and the three-women food fight team. 138 Class officers: (from left) Darren Dennison, boys chaplain; Ricky Cobb, vice president; Shannon Shelton, president; Kristi Suber, secretary; Katrina Vrotsos, girls chaplain.
