CHCS TIMES Colonial Hills Christian School May 1986 2134 Newnan Street East Point, Georgia 30344 THE BEST OF TIMES” Students Declare These Are The Best Of Times At CHCS 8 • , r • • f Time Powerful Weapon Discovered At Local High School There was a large crowd on hand at CHCS last week for the press conference concerning a new world weapon said to be more powerful than any nuclear bomb today. Discussion was begun about whom to turn the weapon over to but all talk seized when we were told that everyone already possesses this particular weapon in their heart. It's called pray- er and it is activated by your own will to talk to God, you simply call to him and BAM! There's your an- swer. For this shall every one that is Godly pray unto thee in a time when thou may not be found: Psalms 32:6a Play Time Is Not In Danger Of Being Replaced By Study Time At CHCS Students everywhere fear that study time will replace fun times at CHCS. After numerous talks, meetings, and consultations, it was agreed by higher officials that play time was important to a well-balanced education. Without play time, stu- dents could not have the freedom to express themselves in the creative ways that are seen on these pages. The rally to encourage officials to allow play time at school was led by Mr. Dan Lee, pictured upper right. Students were impressed to remember Ecclesi- astes 3:1 as they were allowed the privilege to have play time in their school. Time Page 5 TIMES Page 6 Break CHCS Miracle Cure Found For The Homework Blues! Through all of the hustle and bustle of school and work, not much time is left for rest and relaxation. Students tend to get irratable and groggy from to much work and no play! One solution to this problem is to take a long need- ed break. Sit back and relax for a while. Maybe read a good book or play a game. If that doesn't suit you try something different like having a snack. Get together with your friends and chat over your outside of school activities. Try to steer away from the subject of home- work and your job. These two problems are the two most haz- ardous blues” trouble makers around. Many kids get hung up on studying from daylight until dusk. This certainly isn't healthy. Many folks let their job control their lives. No one should sub- mit themselves to this abuse! Everyone de- serves a brake. So take one! Time TIMES___Page 7 A time to get, and a time to lose, a time to keep and a time to cast away.” Ecclesiastes 3:6 Page 8 CHCS A TIME TO LAUGH! It has been said that laughter is the best medicine. Stu- dents at CHCS have been overheard to endorse this saying. They believe in it one hundred percent. Not only do they practice it but they also create it. It does not take much to initiate the act of laughter for these fun students. Upon further investigation by our reporters, we have come to the conclusion that of all the students. CHCS students by far have the most fun, laugh the loudest, and create the largest response of laughter, than any other students around. Time TIMES Page 9 A time to weep, and a time to laugh ” Solution For Work-Related Stress Work related stress is a common problem in our busy society where hustle and bustle is a way of life. Adults and students are suffering physical and mental strain from this way of life. Fortu- nately for the Christian, one needs not succumb to these limits. Not only does Christ tell his children to cast every care on him, but He also encourages a proper attitude about work. That attitude is the one of taking a challenge and doing the very best job we are able to do. This will enhance pride in work instead of stress because of work. Time TIMES Page 11 Whatsoever thy hand find- eith to do, do it with thy might, for there is no work, nor de- vice, nor knowledge, nor wis- dom, in the grave, whither thou goest. Ecclesiastes 9:10 Critics Proclaim CHCS Students Display Unbeatable Study Skills From Kindergarten to 12th grade students display study skills that are unmatched. Critics claim that it is due to the fact there are so many different avenues of academics and elec- tives in which to excell. Students are said to show talents in music, business, Bible, English, history, art, athletics, etc. When asked what makes CHCS different from other schools, stu- dents agreed it was the balance of study time with play time that made it fun to learn. Time TIMES Page 13 Page 14 Free CHCS Students Practice Privilege A Bell rings at 3:00 p.m. somewhere in the outskirts of Atlanta, Georgia. A sound, simi- lar to a small locomotive erupts from the corridors of a school. CHCS. The bell means that the students within the walls of the school are now free to leave. They are free to go home, go to practice, go to Krystal, or for those who cannot bear to leave, go to the parking lot. Free time is what makes America and CHCS a great place to be. Al- though one would not want to leave them forever, sometimes it's nice to get away. Time TIMES Page 15 Ram Page 16 CHCS Riot Rocks Residents Of East Point Time TIMES Page 17 Boys and Girls were in total shock as the city of East Point was shaken dur- ing a riot at CHCS. There were poles thrown and rolls of paper hurled through the air as the students chanted and screamed until the walls shook in their gym. Some on lookers proclaim that it was merely a pep rally showing the enthusiastic school spirit at Colonial Hills but local residents say that there must have been more to it. After much investigation and research it was finally proven that no damage was done and that it truely was a highly explosive pep rally! There were expressive grins all around campus when discussions were brought up about the rally. Costumes for fifties day, Hawaiian day, and ca- reer day were a big hit along with a great sports program the entire year. These brought on the majority of the spirit that was generated that fatal day.Yet still the walls of CHCS stand tall and proud! ’’When the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord.” Acts 3:19b CHRISTMAS BRINGS JOY TO ALL! The new music epartment of CHCS roadened it's iorizons this year by resenting us with A Christmas Celebration . All of he elementary jrades participated along with the jlementary and High School Bands and the Junior and Senior High choruses. The gym was filled to the rim with adoring parents and relatives as beautiful harmonious carols rang throughout the building. Music director Mr. Mai Rabern did a superb job in bringing the elementary school children together in this special night. Band director Jeff Cranfill is to be commended for the beautiful music played by both the High school and the debute of the elementary band. A wonderful live nativity scene was acted out by kindergarteners who did an excellent job in portraying Mary, Joseph, and Shepards. This reporter sees Hollywood stardom in the future for these young actors. What a joyous event to celebrate the Christmas season! HOMECOMING 85’ ’’Good Times At CHCS” Homecoming at CHCS is always an exciting event! On Monday the students arrived all decked out in authentic fifties apparel. Girls in poodle skirts and guys with slicked back hair carried their spirit to a rowdy gym where, cheers rose as Richie Lankford introduced us to the Pole. It became a fast friend to all the students bringing excitement to the stands! On Tuesday the Hawaiian gear was brought from the closets. Bright colors shown everywhere as the kids entered the gym for their second pep rally. But one sad moment occured when The Pole” was put to rest in exchange for denim jeans to be worn on the following day. career day! A small price to pay for spirit! Among the doctors, secretaries, and bums Brian Todd was chosen to reign as Homecoming King. On Thursday a huge Bonfire was held at Randall field. The Freshman class received the Spirit award for 1985. Friday night Miss Emily Horne was crowned our Queen topping off a week to •'emember! Give me an R Give me an “A” Give me an “M” Give me an “S” What do you get? RAM SPIRIT Pep Rallies this year were exciting and always interesting. Mrs. Fairy Houser, varsity cheerleaders sponsor, saw to that! A Pep Club, faculty involvement and a host of school spirit made 1985 pep rallies some of the best ever. PEP RALLIES Spirit Week ’85 was a lot of fun for ev- eryone. As students participated in eating contests, races, relays, and playing dress- up, they found the excitement of compe- tition and the thrill of winning. Each day of the week, students came to school with a new idea of how they would dress for 50’s Day, Career Day, Hawaiian Day, and Blue-and-White Day. Thursday night students enjoyed each other’s fel- lowship during the Pep Rally and the Bon- fire. The culmination of all of the student's hard work and exciting activities was Homecoming ’85. 22 SPIRIT WEEK ’85 CHCS Students Learn The True Meaning Of Spirit IW I First Place Float JUNIORS Class Of ’87 CHCS Players What a performance! The Players came through with tremendous success. Long hours of practicing, weeks of rehersing songs and lines, hours of getting direction made it all seem worthwhile on opening night. Parents could not have been prouder and the players could not have been more pleased with their own abilities. The original production may have given birth to a new drama club at CHCS. The Girl for Me was an original produc- tion written by Chris Young and Sara Morgan. The players were: Kim Allen Melanie Allen Charles Askew Kirk Beckham Ricky Cobb Amy Dawkins Julie Doris Rebecca Gibson Michael Harper Kim Hatcher Tommy Holt Jeff Hood Carol Houser Jeff Law Stacey Lee Rusty Martin Jennifer Orr Sherry Pass Valerie Rouse Mike Selfe Deanna Strevel David Stroup Jennifer Walston Amy White Jennifer Yancey 26 The 1985 Thanksgiving Play went over very well this year as usual. Everyone who came enjoyed it very much. Its message was the thanks we should have in our hearts just as the first Indians and Pilgrims did on the very first Thanksgiving. Mrs. Evans experienced the joy of directing these little Indians and Pilgrims. The cast members are as follows: Brian Burroughs as Governor Bradford Gabe Aldridge as Miles Standish Christy Hand as Mistress Brewster Dottie Askew as Mistress Winslow Ben McKnight as William 28 STUDENT COUNCIL BRINGS COLONIAL New beginnings are what keep America healthy, and what could be more healthy than expanding the student government system at a local High School!? The students at Colonial Hills have been given the opportunity to start a student council for the seventh through twelfth grades. Council President Jody Yancey is excited about the new ideas which have been brought up during the year. A representative has been chosen by the students from each class as well as the President and Vice-President of the classes to attend the meetings and put in their two cents worth of views! So far the Senior privileges have been broadened to allow off campus luncheons. In February a special Valentines day was planned. Students at CHCS are glad to have a council they can turn to! NEW CLUBS AT CHCS! We would like to extend a warm welcome to the new clubs of CHCS! There are three new organizations which have become part of the CHCS family. Along with the long awaited twenty member student council the two other clubs have been much needed around the school. A club of spirit and enthusiasm was given a try during football season. This new Pep Club was something different to the school and wasn't taken as seriously as it should have been, however the members did a great job and are to be commended. The CHCS Players were an added delight to the extra curricular activities which have been offered in the previous years. This drama club brought new excitement around the beginning of the fall season with the debut of their play A Girl for Me! which was a big hit with everyone! WELCOME CLUBS. TO CHCS AND GOOD • NEW IDEAS TO HILLS NEW awesome Ram football games or getting rowdy at the Pep Rallies they were there! They also packed up and headed for sunny Florida to tour the sandy beaches? Staying in houses and going from churches and schools they were rewarded by touring that famous wonderland Disney World with Mickey. Donald and the rest of the gang! God kept them safe and we're proud of them! BAND TOURS BRING HORIZONS What year for such a great group! Traveling all over playing their instruments for people to listen and enjoy. Of Course, we re talking of the most popular band of CHCS and that great guy who heads them up. Mr. Jeff Cranfill! This group of crazy kids made sure everyone was entertained year round no matter what! Whether it was playing in the stands at one of those THE YEAR IN REVIEW ... People Behind The Scenes!! What a group! Through deadlines and headlines the 1986 Encounter staff stands tall! Even though Miss Pass and Angie had absolutely no idea what was going on, they stocked up on aspirin and took a deep breath to enter into the most exciting year ever! With thirteen members, nine of them new, it took a lot of togetherness and hard work to bring this years book to- gether. The new slogan be- came “We’re all in this togeth- er’’ as the year progressed it definitely came true! We took time to interview a few of the members and ask them what they thought of the year. Here are the results “I particularly enjoy refresh- ing my make-up and thinking about guys.” — M.Y. My favorite part of year- book is Richie holding me hos- tage while spraying plant food on me to make me grow.” — L. H. “I love a finished year- book!” — R.P. “Sleeping is the best part of my yearbook period.” — M. M. “I can’t wait until three o’clock.” — S.M. “Eating cheeze doodles and sneaking cokes into class is great! — S.N. and K.J. “My favorite part of annual is being late to class.” — Miss Pass “I like to make excuses to get out of class. — S.P. “I love to skip third period.” — R.C i Return Of The Rampage! The Rampage staff has done a very good job in their production of the newspa- per. They have informed the parents and students of up- coming events as well as past activities. They have worked very hard to bring the newspaper to us once each week, and that was a major project for them. Mrs. Stroup is the spon- sor for the newspaper and the staff follows: Editor — Kimberly Wallace, Sports Editor — Jay Hudson, Fea- ture Editor — Paige Estes, Layouts — Linda Lowe, Re- porters — Richie Lankford, Joe Steward, Anthony Leatherwood, Craig Brown, Terry Brown, Illustrators — Dee Claborn, Tony Powell, and circulation is handled by David Eidson. Thanks again staff, for bringing us the News! 36 37 RAMBLER The 1986 Rambler has continued a long tradition of literary work at CHCS! The staff this year will be sure to devote time and effort to making it one of the greatest ever by analyzing the works donated by the student and faculty of our school. It contains poems and short stories that are created by our very own '‘fam- ily”. Mrs. Stroup originated the magazine four years ago and it has been going strong since! The members this year of the staff are Linda Lowe, Paige Estes, Joe Steward, and Kimberly Wallace. 3« Big Band Era Revived Wow! The Band this year is really going places. Under the direction of Jeff Cranfill, the Band had another great season. They have provided colorful entertainment for Home- coming, pep ralleys, and other sports events. The officers are as fol- lows: president, Jeff Law; vice-presi- dent, Andy White; secretary, Melanie Allen. The band went on tour in January and shared their talents and hard work with others. They were an inspi- ration to all those who heard them. The members were fortunate to be able to play Christmas music at Southlake and Shannon Mall during the holidays. Each performance drew dozens of people. They also had a fantastic program for the De- cember PTF meeting. The band has grown to outstand- ing heights from Mr. Cranfill’s leader- ship. Everyday melodious sounds of rhythm can be heard coming from the band room. It is a joy to hear them play songs that honor and glo- rify God. 40 42 FOURTH GRADE BANDTop, left to right: Charles Ayers.

The PTF officers for the year are: Truitt Harper — President, Don Rasnale — Vice-President, Frank Jordan — Vice-President, Marilyn Brennan — Secretary- Treasurer, and Joyce Shelton, Joy Doris, and Betty Hamby serve as grademother chairmen. It was the desire of the PTF to involve the parents in the activi- ties of the school. This year par- ents helped in maintaining the school clinic, organizing a con- cession stand at ballgames, work- ing on cleanup crews for school activities, and numerous other in- valuable projects. The PTF also sponsored a pro- gram for purchasing such needed equipment as a VCR for the school, a piccolo for the band, new sports uniforms, play ground equipment, and a new air condi- tioner for the print shop. 44 Students Patrol Campus Stop running! Slow down! Watch out for that car! Hi, I'm a patrol at Colonial Hills Christian School. Our job is to teach safety and to watch out for fellow stu- dents in an attempt to prevent ac- cidents from occuring. To be a patrol, a student must be in the seventh or eighth grade, maintain a good grade average, demonstrate good cooperation and good conduct at all times. Like the traffic rules say: STOP, LOOK, LISTEN. Give a patrol a smile today! Rebecca Gibson 45 Spirit Spreading Throughout Local School ENTHUSIASTIC — that is the key word to describe these Ram fans who spend ex- tra hours of preparations to support our teams. The Pep Club members enhance our team spirit by attending and cheering at home and away games. We are grateful for this new organization and look forward to continued growth and ex- citement in developing Colo- nial Hills Christian School — SPIRIT! «6 w. GOVERNMENT FORMED . . .

RTS TIMES Another perfect 10-0 regular season goes to the Rams of CHCS! Being lead by a crew of 12 Seniors and headed up by Coach Bill Thorn, the team of 21 hard hitting guys gave their school plenty to cheer about during the 1985 football season. Shutting out 6 of their 10 opponents and holding the rest of the teams to 30 points, the Rams had a total team scoring of 334 points. The leading scorers of the Rams were Skeeter Stacks and Jeff Alexander. A Strong Defense was the key to the Rams success through this rough season. Junior. Tim DeVore led the team in fumble recoveries with 3 taking one in for a touchdown. Bursting through the line and onto the opposing WHAT A SEASON! No one thought they would do it. With only nine members who could believe it! But they did! And what a year it’s been! The JV Boys of CHCS started out with a rough psychological outlook on the season to come. They had lost one of their most important players not to mention those that had left the team and moved onto the Varsity level! Coach Bob Young took it upon himself to lift the guys up by showing quite a testimony! Things began to look up! The team began overcoming great adversities with players having to change positions and so on. One by one they all began to shine! Sonny Howell took Page 55 Quarterbacks were Jay Hudson with 3 sacks and Brian Hopkins with 2 Vi. The leading tacklers were Thad Calhoun with 41 tackles and Parrish Walker with 39. To wrap up a great season, five Senior boys were chosen to represent the North Team in the Alabama Conference All Star Football Game. These proud players were Thad Calhoun. Jay Hudson. Richie Lankford. Brian Todd and Jody Yancey. Through interviewing a few of the players we found that one of the highlights of the season was defeating arch rival Athens 49-0 in a fairly easy shut out during their own Homecoming! Congratulations Rams on a job well done and thanks for a perfect season! charge of things and led his team with 388 game points plus he led in assists! But Matthew Pinholster was always right behind him being a predominant force in the rebounding area. Another surprise was the rookie Jason Flurry who came off the bench to put on quite a show! Rusty Martin, in his third year, helped the team a great deal with some rebounding and some good shooting! To no one's surprise Andy White proved to be a tremendous help in all areas! The final three. Tim Hadden. Scott King, and Eric Rowland were always ready! Way to go boys! T'% Girls Volleyball Team Has Another Winning Season! The CHCS Girl’s Volleyball team closed out another great season with fifteen wins and only two loses. The season ended with a tourna- ment here at the school where our Lady Rams walked away with the first place trophy. The team leaders, Emily Horne and Shannon Shelton ended up on the All-Star team. The team consisted of Jodi Hyde, Susan Haist, Michelle Bradford, Becki Foster, Alice Anderson, Aman- da Wallace, Traci Jordon, Wendy Howard, Shannon Shelton, Emily Horne, Leslie Houser, Lisa Van Horn, and Coach Bob Brennan. Each of the girls worked extreme- ly hard and proved to be an asset to the team. The newer members show great promise for another exciting team next season. A special thanks to all of the team members for dili- gent service and school spirit. ■l W. 56 Natalie Cawood, Shannin Walker, Jennifer Yancey, Amy White, Deborah Lee, Christy Hadden Front Row. left to right: Wendy Monk.

The game was probably the toughest all season as Coosa scored first to take an early lead, but two second half touchdowns by Skeeter Stacks gave the Rams a 14-6 victory. The Rams won their next two games rather easily beat- ing Gilead 27-0 and Pineland 32-6. Then with seven starters unable to play, the Rams rolled over One Way 60-0. Mt. Vernon followed and was de- feated 27-0 in a very physical matchup led by Jay Hudson. Traveling to Athens, the Rams pounded the G.C.A.A. State Champs 49-0 at their Homecoming. Leading the way on defense were Jody Yancey and Thad Calhoun. Calvary was next in line and was strongly defeated 25-0 by CHCS being led offensively by Richie Lankford. Forrest Hills was completely out matched by the powerful Rams, losing 46-0. Behind the strong running of Jeff Alex- ander, CHCS out dueled West- minster the next week by a score of 24-6. The final game of the sea- son was to be the CHCS Homecoming with the Rams playing Cathedral and being led by Mike Selfe, defeating them 32-12, rounding out a perfect 10-0 regular season. Playing for the A.C.A.C. State Championship, the Rams traveled to Mobile, Ala. to play undefeated I.M.S. Al- though CHCS, was led by Bri- an Todd and Tim DeVore, they came up short 31-14.

Rams played six games and ended the season with a 2-4 record. For the most part the team was inexperienced, with only a handful of players returning from last year's team. But the name of the game to these guys was perserverance. Early on the team was plauged by misfor- tune; grade checks, injuries, and other after-school activities claimed most of the team. The J.V. Rams ended the sea- son with 12 boys on the team. Leading the offensive unit was Sonny Howell at quarterback, who proved that you do not have to be big to be a success in football. Anchoring the offensive line with excel- lent blocking were Tony Alexander at guard, Anthony Leatherwood at tackle and Andy White at end, who also caught his first touchdown pass ever against Mt. Vernon. Anchoring the defensive unit were Jeff Hood at linebacker, Stephen Wilkins at strong safety, Matthew Pinhol- ster and Andy White at the end positions, and Sonny Howell at free safety. While the season ended with only 2 wins and 4 loses, many of those games were much closer than the scores indi- cate. The boys stayed with their oppo- nents and never gave up, which is truly a credit to their spirit.

As it turned out, the Rams became a dominate factor in the State surprising a lot of people. The Rams let people know they meant business by beating teams they weren’t expected to beat like Forrest Hills and Athens. They played beautifully against Athens beating them by 14 points with almost no problem. After being invited to a Christmas Tournament in Tennessee, the Rams had high hopes for winning it and re- ceiving a lot of recognition. Their dreams were not met at that time but they did learn how to handle losing and they learned a lot about each other. After the tournament, the Rams went on an impressive ten game winning streak. The State Tournaments for the Rams was February 28-March 1. By winning that they would be invited to a Southeast Regioinal Tournament held in the Civic Center in Alabama. This is something that no other Colonial Hills Varsity Basketball team had never done before. The Rams have met new heights this year and have represented their school proudly and have done a great job of it! NEWS FLASH!!!

JV Girls Basketball If one word were chosen to de- scribe the 1986 J.V. girls team that word would be competitive . This 13 member squad demonstrated a keen spirit of competiveness during each game and during practices. The team's spirit was highlighted by exciting victories over Athens. Ath- ens Acadmey, and Clayton. Not only did the girls show desire do win ev- ery game but each one worked hard to fill the positions of “The starting five”. The 86 team was led by it's 8 ninth grade members and rounded out by it’s 3 8th graders and 2 7th graders. Team scoring, rebounding, and steals were led by captain Susan Haist with Julie Shelley, Missy Schmus an Jodi Hyde taking second in each category respectively. The coaches expect to next year to be a rebuilding year with only a handful of returning players.

The team was led by the dominating forces of Sonny Howell and Matthew Pinholster. Both of them also played on the Var- sity team in the tournaments at Shi- loh Hills. The other JV starters were Rusty Martin, Andy White, Mike Selfe, and Jason Flurry, who filled in for Mike later in the season. The rest of the team and possible future “Bench Bums were Eric Roland, Tim Hadden, Joshua Lee, Scott King and Scott Moody.

Cheerleaders, lead by their courageous sponsors Mrs. Kathy Moore and Mrs. Joy White, have been yelling their hearts out since early last summer at the NCA cheerleading camp right through to the exciting Basketball happenings! Learning stunts and cheers was only part of the hard work that was put out to make such an explosive group! Congratulations girls, on a job well done!

EXTRA! EXTRA! READ ALL ABOUT IT! The CHCS Times Honors Coach For Outstanding Leadership. For the past five years Coach Bill Thorn has spent his time building houses and building the championship teams CHCS is proud of today! It is from his devotion to the sports that the CHCS trophy case is filled with first place prizes. The Rams football team be- gan its reputation at being a championship team in 1982 when they swept the GCAA with a 10-1 season. The follow- ing two seasons were complet- ed with 10-1 records. In 1984 Coach Thorn led his fighting Rams to the Peachstate cham- pionship by defeating Bible Baptist with a final score of 32- 14. Throughout the 1985 sea- son the Rams finished with an undefeated 10-0 record, their first undefeated season. The Track team was formed in 1982 by Coach Thorn. In four seasons the team has won three championships and one second place. It is easy to look at the great athletes who have played un- der Coach Thorn and focus on them alone, but we must not forget the coach who has put them together to make the great teams they are. This year we dedicate the 1986 Encounter to the man who has dedicated himself to us, Coach Thorn we Thank You!

Since the beginning of this year these kids have learned divi- sion, multiplication and reviewing their adding and sub- traction. They have put on two programs this year. The Thanksgiving program and a spring program that was watched and enjoyed by parents, students, and teach- ers. The Georgia report is an important part of the third grade. The main thing emphasized in this project is the student's love for their state and for what it stands for. The Georgia Report is twenty-five pages long. This year the third grade students went on three field trips. One was the state capital. Everyone had a fun time and loved seeing all of the state symbols. It was exciting to see what goes into making our state a great one. The Wren’s Nest, home of Joel Chandler Harris, was another great trip. The students went through his house and saw a little piece of the Old South. The last field trip they took was to Stone Moun- tain. The students participated enthusiastically. They stayed there for most of the school day. Although third grade held many exciting moments, each student is ready to move on to fourth grade.

The old South was depicted by way of class floats displaying war time and peace time. Elementary students wore costumes from the civil war era. Their participation and march brought heart-felt cheers from the crowd. The 7th and 8th grade students made beautiful banners. The home- coming class representatives were introduced while riding in horse drawn carriages. The Rams finished their winning season with a 32-12 finale. The main event of half-time was the crowning of the 1985-86 queen, Miss Emily Horne. She was crowned by last years queen Miss Theresa Stone.
