I Peter 4:11b STUDENT • LIFE SPIRITED CATCHING THE SPIRIT The Gym trembled and threatened to fall as 200 kids and a few diehard faculty exhausted their lungs in an effort to out yell each other. Stomped feet and clapped hands supposedly in rhythm with clever cheers over- whelmed bystanders. Why the uproar? The pep rally: a rousing climax to one spirit-filled week. On Tuesday, normal clothes were discarded in favor of camouflage and doctors uniforms as the week opened with career day. On college sweat- shirt day the school was blinded by bulldogs and yellow jackets as every- one showed their enthusiasm. Thursday was no doubt filled with vitality as the students came dressed in Hawaiian outfits, lei's and all. The four-day week finished with a finale of blue and white day. That evening the class floats were displayed, while most people were engaged in the PTF spon- sored bar-b-que dinner. Later, everyone participated, at the bond fire, cheering, yelling and all to lead us on to our 28-0 victory, the next night. Bringing the Hawaiian atmosphere into the classroom Aloha!

HOMECOMING! Everyone looks forward to the time in the school year when Homecoming comes around. There are fun and exciting things happening. There are those special times and memories to be shared with all your friends. This year's Homecoming was one of the best ever!!! High schooll students worked very hard on building floats while Jr. High students worked equally hard on building school spirit. Mrs. Hadden worked especially hard on organizing the bonfire and the activities of the pep rally on Thursday before the game. The PTF sponsored a big barbeque dinner. Everyone pitched in to make it a great success. HOMECOMING ACTIVITIES W0OLY Cheerleaders help lead the crowd to excitement and spirit.

When the weather turns cool and the leaves be- gin to show their brilliant colors, we await with excitement the night when a new queen will be crowned. H O M E C 0 M 1 N G '86 Students, parents, faculty, and alumni gath- er together to anticipate a victory on the field as well as to watch the festive ceremonies. Homecoming '86 brought with it more of the good times that we have all known it to bring in the past.

Members of Drama Club Joe McBee. Julie Doris and Amy White show m a skit, Sund School”, how important it is to love God. Mr. Lee tells us about our speaker for chapel. Alice Anderson sings Shephard Of My Heart , as an example of her testimony. Motivation was the whole point of chapel. Chapel was meant to get people motivated for Christ. As head of the chapel committee, Mr. Lee once again came through to save the year. The sent ones had a chance to share their talents, with singing and Chris Strevel and Ricky Cobb giving messages. One of the best aspects of chapel was the skits put on by the Drama Club . We looked forward to their interpretation of parents and staff as well as children. The singing has improved tremendously since the years past. Mr. Cranfill and Mr. Rabern helped us create the “unofficial CHCS chapel song, “It's Amazing What Praising Can Do . We were privileged to be a part of the Colonial Hills Baptist Church Missionary Conference. Student testimonies were an inspirational as well as emotional time in chapel. In a word, every student would agree that motiva- tion was a key aspect of this year's chapel. During chapel Ricky Cobb expresses his feelings on Christian attitudes. Charming Miller tells us about his experiences this summer in France with his missionary team. � ■ ■ «1 llw 1� ■•� •� • 1 •■ 1 1 _ « I •• I ■ • Melanie Allen and David Stroup give praises to the Lord in song.

The Kindergarden class came complete with costumes, songs, and verses. They did a fantastic job in learning their parts and in saying them for the crowd. The Sixth grade class put forth an extra special effort. Although their teacher, Mrs. Moore, directed them, the students did the actual writing of the play. The theme was very patriotic as they shared their joy and pride in being Americans. Students in the elementary band followed Mr. Crantil s directions of . a one and a two. and a one. two. three.

The present you bought for $50 is on sale for $5. You go shopping and the store's front doors are jammed with customers return- ing items. Your cheeks are bruised from your aunt's pinching them and telling you how much you've grown. Your new blue jeons won't button or zip. The only fire wood you have for the next month is Christmas paper. The grocery store is out of Alka-Seltzer. The Scotch tape is all in your shag carpet. You see tinsel in everyone's front lawn. Your main dish for the next three weeks is left over turkey and dressing.

Not only is it a time for close personal sharing of prayer request and praises, but it is also a time of learning and applying what is learned. This year Bible class has changed. Everyone is doing something different. Some are studying Pilgrims Progress, books of the Bible, while others are busy mak- ing salvation tracts. Whatever the course of study may be, each stu- dent learned more about God's Word and how to make it more ap- plicable to their daily lives. A change of attitude also took place this year with different stu- dents and different ways of learn- ing. Leadership among students in- creased as they learned how real and powerful God's word cdn be in their lives. Realizing It Works Tommy Griffin.

Four history classes covered topics rang- ing from crusades in World History to the signing of the Constitution in Civics. Even the dreaded Senior Seminar class included aspects of history not previously studies in other history classes. To many students history is old news; it reaks of notes, notes, and more notes. Few students understand or realize how much history affects our lives today. Whatever your memories of your history classes are, they are en- hanced by mutual emotions and feelings shared by classmates on the subject.

Well, you are not alone. This hap- pens to all students who are taking or who have taken math at some time in their lives. Numbers, Numbers, and more Numbers! Where does it all end? Unfortunately for most of us it never does end. We just have to tough it our and get used to it. Sometimes it all gets the best of you. The most sane person can feel trapped and start screaming and have an uncontrollable urge to burn their math book. But then what good would that do? None actually, because you will get in trouble for not having your homework and you will have to buy a new book. There is a simple solution to this problem. Write a bunch of numbers on a sheet of paper and stare at them until you can no longer stand it. Then rip the paper into shreads. Now. don't you feel better? Now, numbers aren't so bad after all. Just take your time, keep a cool head and it will all fall into place some day. Coach Caskey smirks as he realizes he has once again succeeded in confusing yet another unsuspecting class.” Channing Miller seen at a rare moment, turning to the back of the book for some help on the math problems.” Denise Patterson, Susan Evans, Scott Baker, and Hyeong Kim pay close attention and Kim Roe writes a note. 29 While studying intensely. Miriam Payne real- izes that science can't be all fun. Brian Pierce is awake and he is actually studying. Todd Neal and Amy Palmer make Biology a team effort. 30 SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERIES Minoring On Major Details Space age inventions, advanced technology, and medical breakthroughs all have one thing in com- mon. They are all based on scientific methods. Sci- ence affects our daily existence, yet, it fails to stim- ulate most school age students, it is fun to watch the girls squeal and turn pale while disecting frogs and it is interesting to do experiments that cause giant explosions, but other than that it is difficult to creote interest unless it is already there in a student. To many students the mention of the word science class brings an instant yawn. For several students teacher, Mrs. Toy, at least it can be explained. Chris Rodriquez, Stephen Wilkins, and Scott Baker plan an experi- ment of their own. Shannon Shelton and Chris Strevel try to laugh off the intensity of Physics. Tony Alexander fondly thinks back to. I'm originally from Ohio. 31 i-M i ,01 i Why Is It A Foreign Language ENGLISH To So Many Of Us? Often students wonder why English is made to seem so important. They may ask, “Why do we have to know what a noun clause is ?, or “When am I ever going to need to know what Shakespeare wrote or why he wrote it ? These are questions that are often difficult for a teacher to an- swer so if we can't get a straight answer, we just disregard it. Most of the time students feel English classes are a waste of their time. They feel that since they can never know all there is to know about the language they shouldn't be forced through four high school years of it. Most of us students fail to realize that we use our language in one way or another every day of our lives and we will continue to do so and hopefully with a greater degree of knowledge and intelligence. From diagramming sentences to congugation of verbs, En- glish is repitious. However difficult or monotonous it can become, it will be rewarding when as an adult, we can speak our language fluently. Mark Runyons is resting his Nike's and Wendy Monk is trying to figure out today's assignment Sophomores seen at a rare moment, concentrating on English grammar 32 Can you believe I finally passed one? Kirk Beckham Boy. I'm glad that project Is over! Judy Daly Students take time out from English class to discuss the days events. Betsy Lamb wonders who is talking to Rodney Brennon Mrs Stroup busily plans her next days work Outspoken Seniors Miss Williamson taught this years seniors how to put to- gether a speech and a few pointers on drama. The seniors laughed through the year while learning such things as pantomines. physical communication, and im- promtu speeches. The class also came in handy when the seniors applied what they had learned for the senior play. Richard Murphy pins a award on David Sauls. Amanda Wallis has extremely good eye contact with Jonathan Wilkins 34 35 Darren Denison puts his full concentration into his speech. LINGUISTICS ... A FRENCH OR SPANISH ... how does one decide? Neither choice is an easy one. Some students choose French, a more advanced language. Most of the French students believe that the French language sounds suave” and sophisticated”. The language is more complex, therefore you have to be consistent in studying. Other students decide that Spanish is an easier and more practical choice. There are many Spanish-speaking people in America. Students who have chosen to take Spanish believe that learning it will help them to communicate with people in their own country. Both French and Spanish students agree that there is more to learning a foreign language than just memorizing a few words. To make it practical, it helps to be able to speak it with a small degree of fluency. They enjoy studying cultures, traditions, and life styles that are associated with the language. Students achieve a sense of accomplishment when they study and begin to understand the language. It's hard work, but it is possible to have fun while you are learning. God has given us all the ability to learn. It is up to us to use that ability to its fullest. A teacher's work is never done! Mrs. Suzanne Talton is faithful to her duties of a Spanish teacher. 36 Broader World Learning Spanish is a challenge. It's hard work but you can have fun doing it.

In Home Economics this year, the girls learned many things that will help them all later in life. Some of these things were cooking pies, cookies and other goodies. They also made Christmas crafts and ornaments. Another part of Home Ec. this year was sewing skirts, which turned out to be the hardest part of the class. Michelle and Betsy wash and dry the dishes left from cooking. 39 Key's To Success Why is typing a valuable subject for high school? Typing is valuable be- cause it is beneficial when applying for a job. especially if you're plan- ning to go into secretarial work. Yvette friend Why is typing a valuable subject for high school? Typing is essential subject because when students go off to college they will be faced with mdny term papers to type. Amy Dawkins What have you learned in Comput- er class that will help you in the fu- ture? Since I have taken comput- er class. I will now be able to keep up with the advancements that are being made in the computer age. Judy Daly What have you learned in comput- er class that will help you in the fu- ture? The one thing that I have learned is the way to type a report and being able to use the word processer In computer class, typing is a skill that is a development of typing and computer skills that can and will begin to open the doors to the fu- ture. Typing skills will help the student in the business world, in that it develops ac- curacy. speed, and efficien- cy in operating the computer. Our world is becoming more high-tech and computer- ized everyday. The practice you can get now in comput- ers and typing will be invalu- able as your prepare for the future. If you practice these, you will have no problem opening the doors to the fu- ture you've already made a beginning. While findining nothing else to do in class Tim Devore and Mark Runyans find talking interesting while still looking cool.

As in everything else in school, the good comes with the bad. Some of the fun things included playing kickball, and volleyball. There was also a new playground put in this year. Some of the unpleasant things of P.E. were exercising and running laps around the gym. No matter what they were doing, the students found that P.E., for the most part, was relaxing and a welcomed change.

It consists of the fourth, fifth, and sixth grades. They practice four times each week in order to prepare for a seat in the high school band. They have a wide variety of instruments in use. including the flute, clarinet, tuba, saxophone, and French horn. Mr. Cronfill is very musically inclined. He plays several instruments himself, and encourages each young member of his band to prac- tice hard and to use his her God given tal- ents to the best of their ability. BACK ROW Quentin Cooper.

They practiced well and their per- formances, such as the ones at school, the mall, and the greatly awaited one-week long band tour, showed their hard work. Indeed, their concerts proved them to be very serious students of the art. Many, unexpected gifts, whether they be money or instruments, the band specifically needed, were giv- en. Different ensembles were formed, and frequently played for the student body in chapel. In short, this year's band left a promise for an extraordinary band in the later years. Having third quarter off. from playing, certain band-members tind interesting things to engage in at the homecoming game 48 49 50 Bethany Rabern and Angie Warnock get warmed up for chorus.

Judy Daly tries to look studious with her Jeff'' folder, but we all know the real reason. Is Beta Club for you? It is if you have a 3.0 average or above. All of these students are in grades 10 through 12. In Beta Club this year, there are about thirty active mem- bers. So far this year, they have had about three meetings where they have voted on offi- cers and discussed what projects that they want to do this year. They have also had bake sales in order to raise money for the club. But none of this would be possible with- out the support of their sponsor. Mrs. Talton. This years officers are (I. to r.) Wendy Monk — Treasurer. Chris Strevel — President. Shannon Shelton — Vice-President, and Judy Daly — Secretary. 54 National Honor Society-Making The Grade Just like the rest ot us.

For example, in March, they planned a trip to Washington, D.C. for about five days. These students deserve it. This great group of kids is also sponsored by Mrs. Talton. Each one of them had to have a 3.5 average for four consecu- tive quarters to be a part of this elite club. They all have worked very hard, but that doesn't mean that they didn't have fun doing it. Colonial Hills is very proud of them, and we wish them the best of success. NHS officers: (L to R) Front row: Liso VonHorn — secretary. Murice Miller — president. Mark Runyans — Chapin.

From the halls to the crosswalk you can be sure to find someone wear- ing a little orange belt. But to get this important job you must be a very dependable person. The J.V. teachers pick you and they watch you carefully to make sure they've made the right decision. We thank you patrols for putting us first. 1. Tabitha Payne. Melanie Howton. Scott Harper.

Shaundra Kellam 56 Playing The Part They practice, memorize, and prac- tice some more; sometimes under the worst conditions possible. The Drama Club has faced many diffi- culties in scheduling this year. So many of the members were also in- volved in other school activities. Eager to give their talents to the Lord, these young people worked very hard in preparing skits for cha- pel programs and a select few were involved in the Fall production of The Miracle Worker . They did their job and they did it well. They even went so far as to learn parts for a Christmas skit that got cancelled ten minutes before they were to preform. Active members of the Drama Club include, Melanie Allen, Alice Ander- son, Kirk Beckham, Natalie Cawood, Ricky Cobb, Amy Dawkins, Sharon Deans, Anthony Leather- wood, Rebecca Gibson, Anthony Leatherwood.

Mr Lee. and Joe Steward GOLF CLUB This year Colonial Hills is trying out a different sport. Golf. Mr. Dan Lee, Bible teacher, wanted to have a Colonial Hills Golf team this year, so he asked around and found people who wanted to play. This was the first year for the Golf team, so they didn't enter into any competition against other schools, only against themselves. Mr. Lee said the team was only in the experimental stages right now, but he hopes he will be able to enter the team into competition in the next year or so. So for all you golf fans out there, this one's for you — Fore. 58 Joe Steword shows us that Golf isn't the only sport in his life. SENT ONES Melanie Allen. Rusty Martin, Deborah Lee. Lori Martin.

SENT ONES The Sent Ones, a group of students headed by Mr. Bob Brennan Jr. and Mr. Dan Lee, go out and Minister the Gospel to people whom they feel need it the most. They go door to door, around the neighborhoods, and to other schools in their quest to bring others to know the Lord. Chris Strevel. Tommy Griffin, Jason Flurry, and Rebecca Gibson talk about their Sent Ones experiences. 59 It is the desire of the PTF to promote the future and get the students in- volved in activities. This year the PTF has developed many ways in keep- ing the students best interest at heart, They have helped pay for travel expenses and sports equip- ment and numerous other valuable projects that we couldn't have done by our selves. The officers that made the future possible: President: Truitt Haper Vice President: Sam Monk Secretary Treasurer: June Monk Grandmother Chairmen: Joy Doris Asst. Grandmother Chairmen: Judy Davenport Susan Strevel Without this important part of the school CHCS could not anticipate the future. Good times is part of the job when you need it most. Promoting The Future 60 Putting projects together is tough but the reward is wonderful. June Monk sells the tickets for the Bor- b-que and she does it with a smile. Joy Doris and Sam Monk set everything up to make it a perfect night 61 Highlights Of 1986 Renee Clark, Amanda Wallis and Traci Jor- dan work extra to finish an assignment at annual camp before going to call some friends'' Andy White and Jeff Law pose for a picture before going on stage The band chorus shows their excite- ment of finally getting off that bus!

With not that much experience behind them they have really made things hap- pen. The Student Council is made up of Presidents and Vice Presidents of each class and a Student Council Representative. Then out of the Jr. and Sr. classes we elect a President of Student Council and a Vice Presi- dent. After all that is done they get to work on school trips and Home- coming. The Student Council is a representative organization that we the student body can express our thoughts and ideas. L-R Stacey Lee. Jennifer Beckham. Angie Wornock. Denise Patterson. Ricky Cobb.

Being prettier than your boyfriend is not. Essay tests are hot. Studying five minutes before is not. Getting your license is hot. Getting it suspended is not. Going to a party is hot. Getting home an hour late is not. Summer is hot. Going to summer school is not. Finishing the annual is hot. Finishing it two weeks late is not I I read recently that the number one disease in America is Can'tinitis. It strikes eight out of ten people. There is only one sympton: endless repeating of ”1 can't. I just talked to an adult about smok- ing which he wants to quit. I said, “Well quit. And he said, I can't. He has a serious case of CAN'TINITIS. Some say they can't lose weight; can't get their work done; can't af- ford a quarter; can't speak in public; can't take tests; can't play fair. It's a lie! The problem is not that they can't but rather they won't. I know, because I've seen people in every one of these catergories cured. There's a cure! For CAN'TINITIS take a healthy dose of this: ”1 can do all things through Christ who strenghtens me. As you roam through the halls of Colonial Hills, especially on Friday, you may find that the students futures are so bright they have to wear shades. This year we found out that sunglasses were not only for outside, but essential for inside. The sunglasses go from dark black ones to phychadelic colored ones. No matter what the style, we all know the meaning of these shades — the urge to get out of class and into the sun. Some also found that by wearing shades, they were able to get a few zzz's in wifhout suf- fering the consequences. Whatever the reason was for wearing them, they wore them well!!! More To Come ... School Prayer Meetings Every Wednesday this year as you rush downstairs to go to lunch, there is a friendly and familiar voice waiting at the bottom of the steps that gently reminds us of “prayer meeting . The voice be- longs to Bob Brennen and he is there to remind and invite all students to join in a prayer meeting during the lunch period. For the past few years, students have met every Wednesday in the white house for a time of fellowship and prayer. It is a special time for all those that at- tend. It is also a time when students unite in prayer for our school. This year has seen the largest response ever to the prayer meetings. Some peo- ple may fail to understand why a Chris- tian school with Christian students and faculty would need prayer. Our school unfortunately is not exempt from Satans attacks, and Christians need to especial- ly pray for other Christians at all times. In today's latest styles there is a blend of cultural influences from all around the globe that are combined to form some of the hottest new looks around. Some people are always looking for something new and different and sometimes even go to the extreme, while others stick with the more preppie, conservative look. Then you have others who are somewhere in between and who really just don't care. These are the “artful 80's and basically anything goes now days. From the punkers to the hippies, the jocks, etc., etc. What you wear and how you look is a personal statement of YOU. People have their own styles and taste that make them stand out with their own distinction and show their own character.

Questions Guaranteed To Drive Your Teachers Crazy One of the most favorite questions asked by students who get into trouble is “What did I do? There are all types of different ques- tions that can be asked by students but we are only going to list a select few that are guaranteed to drive your teacher up a wall. So read on and remember, your teacher sure will. “We have a test next period, so could we please not do anything today? Do we have a test today? “could you re- peat that please repeat that please? “Are you in a bad mood today? “Do we have too? “What did you say? “Why? “Are we going to have any homework? “When did you say it was due?

Here are some of the excuses we heard for missing a day of school as we went through the halls of CHCS. — “It was Friday! — “I had to get caught up on my sleep! — “I only have four nice outfits! — “I had to go shopping so I wouldn't miss anymore school! — “I figured I would take one day to get caught up on my soaps! — “I had a killer Senior Seminar test! Reasons for not paying attention during class. — “I decided to plan my wed- ding 10 years in advance! — “I needed some serious z's! — “I wanted to count down the days until graduaton! Reasons for not studying for exams. — “I'm failing anyway! — “I had a date. — “I didn't even know we had exams! — “I was too busy making plans for the weekend! The Gift Of Gab The Gift Of Gab ... Together Forever? How long will Jonathan and Amanda, Jim and Melanie, Eric and Lori last. Only the Future holds that truth. Now for some promising new cou- ples? Do we see a new girl in life could it be L.B.? What's the scope with C.S. and H .D.? Is it Love? Why is J.D and J.N keeping it a secret? How long will J.G and A.W. last? Some say its just puppy love. M.P. is defin- itely putting the moves on K.V. Will C.H. and S.W. ever get together? Since S.H. is out, has T.J. set her sights on R.B. How does J.G. keep J.D. smiling. These are just some of the rumors circulating the halls. How do rumors get started? We notice two people talking in the halls or after school and we start spreading the news of new romance, when we haven't any real evidence at all it's funny how we get more involved in other peoples lives than we do our own. but it's definitely the Gift of Gab that keeps things going. College Teacher's Bound News Character Traits Where? When? Why? These are the unanswered questions facing senior classes each year. This year it is no different. After listening to dozens of representatives and reading dozens of pamphlets, many students find that they are more confused than ever on facing such a major deci- sion. Besides college, there are many other alternatives. There is always Uncle Sam's finger pointing to you, urging you to enlist in the service. There are also various career train- ing courses available almost every- where. The Good And The Bad Teachers — What do we really think of them? The teachers at CHCS are very special — not only because they are very knowledga- ble in the subjects they teach, but they all have a genuine Christian love for each of their students. Many of the seniors of 1987 have already made their decisions on col- leges. Including these choices seemed to be a trend toward chos- ing a college close to home. Tech, Georgia State and Clayton State offer both good academics and convenience to home and work. In facing every major as well as mi- nor decision Christians have a defi- nite advantage over non-believers. When you search for God's will for your life and wait on God to show you what He wants for you, you not only make the wisest decision, but also yeild that special part of your future to God. When a new student comes to CHCS, they are always warned by the students about what to expect from each teacher. The students hear about Miss Hedges and her notes, Mr. Caskey and his avid love for Georgia Tech, and Mr. Lee and his knowl- edge and love of the Bible. The students are told about the fact that even though Mrs. Talton loves you, she will not hesitate to give you a demerit if you deserve one. Mrs. Toy and Mrs. Countryman are known for their worksheets. Mrs. Stroup, Miss Williamson, and Mr. Cranfill are known for their care and concern. Miss Pass is known for her posses- siveness of her chalkboard. Even though each teacher is different, they all combine to make a very interesting life at CHCS. Thank you all.

Our cheerleaders had the privilege of traveling with the football team to Hammond, Indiana, and with the Varsity boys basketball team to Orlando, Florida. The squad is led by Captain DeAnna Terrell and Co- Captain Katrina Vrotsos. The Varsity squad greatly appreciates the support of their sponsors, Mrs. Joy White and Miss Sheila Pass. They take turns traveling with the girls and aid them in every way possible. The squad would like to thank their spon- sors for all they've done to improve them mentally, physically, and spiritually.

This years JV Cheerleaders are better than ever. With only three remaining members, the other seven have shown that they were able to work together as a team. They began practicing in the spring of 1986. They continued to dedicate their summer towards a hard week of cheerleading camp and many hours of working on stunts and chants. These extra hours really payed oft when they began cheering at football games. Through football season and into basketball, they continued to practice at least twice a week in order to reach perfection. Their en- thusiasm helped to arouse the spirits of the players and those also of the people in the stands. These girls have done a super job, but they could not have done it without the help of their two sponsors: Mrs. Breed and Mrs. Stroup. Each time the girls met to practice, one of the two sponsors always tried to be there. The time that the sponsors and the cheer- leaders spent in practice shows that they Ann-Marie Babb, Alyson Breed, Kim Kellogg, Christy Elrod, Angie Mathis. Amanda Ward, Christi Bussey, Kathy Dixon, Danna Moore, and Kathy Berry Christi Bussey and Angie Mathis do a super job as captain and co-captain. Cheerleaders always have a winning smile”!

He knew that with only one starter from last year (Jonathan Wilkins), things would be tough. Through the year, the team had to endure long, hard practices, but the memories of them were worth it. Even though the season was not as promising as last year's, their 6-3 record showed that the Rams would not let their problems overcome them. One of the greatest highlights of the year was when the team packed up and flew to Indiana to play against Hammond Christian. Ending their season with a 28-6 victory, the Rams proved that they could not be outdone. Also, the Rams would like to make special mention of David Wilkins, thanking him for providing the Rams with run-throughs that were above what was expected. 73 DeVore devastates the defense Jim Doris looks for more yards Rams proudly display run-through a dominating defense — Waller.

FOOTBALL GIVES US THEIR BEST SHOT The J.V. football team started late this year but lateness did not cause a lack of enthusiasm and effort. Twenty young men showed up to practice, learn, and play. After grade check and injuries took their tolls, fourteen finished the season in playing condition. The J.V. record was 2-2; losing twice to Mt. Vernon, once 32-0 and once 12-0. Their victories came over One Way and Lake City; 20-8 over One Way and 12-0 over Lake City.

We won every regular season game and two invitational tournaments. We took second place in our con- ference (SCAC) and won a host of individual awards. Four of our six losses came in the SW Cobb Invi- tional against public schools, yet we competed very well, beating Campbell of Smyrna to make it into the final round of sixteen. Our other two losses were in the SCAC cham- pionship tournament, and both were bitterly contested matches against the eventual champion. Faith Academy of Mobile whom we had previously beaten. They were heart-breaking losses, yet the sea- son as a whole was excellent. We also won many individual hon- ors. Shannon Shelton was voted the MVP of all three tournaments, and had several college coaches scout- ing her. Susan Haist made two all- tournament teams, and Alice An- derson and Michelle Bradford each made one all-tournament team. All four of these girls, along with Aman- da Wallis, were selected for SCAC North All-Star team, coached by our own Bob Brennan, Jr„ and two of them Shannon and Susan, made the SCAC All-Conference team. Con- gratulations to all these girls. But the real key to our success was a sincere desire to play good volley- ball for God's glory. Our senior girls really set the mood as they led the team in focusing on honoring the Lord with all our attitudes and ac- tions. This resulted in a great team spirit in which we all work hard to have. We thank the Lord for our many victories.

J u n • i 0 r V a r s ■ 1 t y A p i a c e T o L e a r n J.V. girls volleyball is a place to learn. This is one sport in which few girls get any formal training until they reach Jr. High. It is a time to learn the fundamentals and work hard in practice, so we can maintain our good volleyball tradition here at CHCS. We began the year with 14 girls, only three of which had ever played volleyball at CHCS before. Our returning veterans were Shanin Walker, Kim Hatcher, and Natalie Cawood. Yet, under the able leadership of Coach Theresa Stone, an alumnus of our school and volleyball program, these girls worked hard to ochieve a 5 and 5 record. And what's more, one of their wins and two of their losses were against varsity teams in our in- vitational tournament. While other teams settle for returning the ball, we strive for the proper form and technique, in an effort to get a set and spike. It is our girls' continued drive to accomplish these higher goals that will make the difference in years to come. Congratulations on a job well done.

Jodi Hyde at the line The 1986-87 Lady Rams finished their season with fourteen wins and only two loses. They demonstrated team effort by pulling together in the tough times and staying together in the less difficult times. The team was characterized as a young team, having many new players this year. The team veterans were Alice Anderson, Shannon Shelton, and Ursula Stevens. While the returning Juniors were Michelle Bradford and Amy Wall. The other players were brand new to Varsity but not new to the game. They hustled their way through a victorious season. The accomplishments of these ladies were often more obvi- ous off the court than on it. They not only display talent in the area of basketball, but many of the team members were honor students as well. 85 Fantastic Fourteen J.v. girls The 1986-87 J.V. Girls Basketball sea- son began when thirteen eager young ladies showed up for tryouts. Three of this group had actually played basket- ball before and the rest were eager to learn. The season began with exten- sive conditioning and drilling in the skills of basketball: dribbling, shooting, pass- ing. Since the team was so new and relatively inexperienced this year could be termed A Rebound Year. Hopefully the returning eleven players will continue to improve their skills, con- centration. and team performance. Heather Littles.

Rodney Brennan and Jay Waller Varsity Boys Basketball Varsity Basketball 1986-87 was to be an adventure in excel- lence, disappointment, in team spirit, conflict, in progress, setback, and in joy and pain. They entered the season with great expectations and ful- filled most of their dreams. As pactice began, they had four returning starters, all seniors backed up with another senior, five juniors, and five sophomores. Each had talent that Coach Caskey praised the Lord for. They guys opened the season with three tournaments in one month, and had a great time traveling to Albany, Ga. Kennesaw, Ga. and Orlando, Fla. Their destiny was to finish second in each tournament. From the losses, they learned much and dedicated themselves to a greater individual and team effort. They finished the regular season with a 20-6 record. A great year accomplished. The team moved into preparation for the tournament action on Feb. 26-28. The season was most rewarding because of their team play, sacrafice in time, and personal goals, and the desire to be all they could be because of the blessings of the Lord.

Having won many of their games, they maintained a high winning tradition. Most of their games finished up with close scores, and gave excitement to this years game. The team was coached by Dewey Stroup, who did a great job, and voluntered his time to coach and teach the team who had, among it, several rookies. The results though showed to be a true learning experience. While attempting to block a basket.

I would like to thank the administration for letting us dress up for spirit week and for always trying to help us.” Melinda Lieb. What is one thing you would like to thank the administration for doing for you this year? I would like to thank them for all the special activi- ties they have planned. Starting with Stone Mountain was a great idea Tommy Griffin % Ruled By Firm And Loving Hands Discipline may be the first thing we think about when we hear the word administration. But there are many other aspects to being an administra- tor. There are also times when disci- pline is necessary, but there are times when rewards or congratulations are in order. The administration has many re- sponsibilities to uphold. But everything they do revolves around us the stu- dent body. But loving hands is where the hard part comes. This year we've had field days and days to wear jeans. We have a student council that communicates to the administration. They've tried hard to make things work for us so that we might have a better year. Even though we have to be ruled by firm hands we still can be treated with loving hands. That's one thing that we all appreciate.

Actually, it's a group of men and women dedi- cated to the Lord and committed to their work at CHCS. They are the very people who keep CHCS from crossing the very fine line between organization and total chaos. CHCS gives a heartfelt thank you'' to these people — the CHCS mainte- nance staff.

Mr. Kenneth Blackmon always gives us his very best 1M Miss Hackney and Mrs Justice help make our lunches taste great Mrs Jane Davis makes cooking for hungry students look easy Mr. Otis Turner always has a smile ready to give to us. 105 JOBS WORTH THE Behind The Scene Look At Two Special Ladies To be a wife and mother is a big job. but to be a wife, mother, and coun- selor to a high school — well, that's another story; a never-ending story. Mrs. Phyllis Hadden has been at Co- lonial Hills for many years now. She first came as a teacher. She has had extensive training and personal ex- perience in the field of psychology and Christian counseling. This year she has taken on addition- al responsibilities as well as her usual duties: teacher, counselor, and mother to the student council. Mrs. Hadden is an excellent role model for her students and peers. She has a job that to us (her stu- dents) is worth the effort. EFFORT To Mrs Hadden, the personal touch is on im- portant part of her job. 106 Always a lovely smile when we need it the most. Mrs. Helen Boen has been at CHCS for five years. Her job is to be an educational consultant. She works with the school in developing the curriculum and planning the educa- tional part of the program. The ma- jority of her time is spent working personally with the elementary school teachers. She also helps stu- dents who are experiencing difficul- ty in a class. Mrs. Boen also works with many other schools in the At- lanta area as well as in Florida and Tennessee. Her goals for our school are that we continue to improve our program by honoring the Lord and that we demonstrate His superiority in the academic program. She desires that each student would let God live through them. Mrs. Boen is a friend in the time of need. She is always there with thoughts and ideas Helping students is one of her many jobs. Ev- eryone benefits from her knowledge and caring spirit. Mrs. Boen’s love for Christ shines to those who work with her every day 107 CLASSES New Places, New Faces Derek Griffin Jill Groiler Jay Hines Tony Hopkins Cindy Knight Michelle Lynch Michelle Mmdler Ayoka Olatundun Joseph Oswalt Abson Presley Emmual Puplampu Kristi Rainwater Learning opens up a whole new world for the kids in kindergarten.

They are no longer new to the daily routine of having to go to school every Monday through Friday for nine months out of every year. In first grade, they learned the basic fundamentals of read- ing. writing, and arithmetic. This year they are using those basic skills as building blocks to accomplish and understand problems that are more difficult. Already, they have had to face many changes. An exam- ple of this was when their teacher. Mrs. Vandenburg. had to leave because of her husband's illness. Then, they had to adjust to a new teacher, Mrs. Taylor, who has done a great job by sharing her knowledge with them. Also, they have showed eagerness towards learning and patience when they don't understand. Even though they still have about ten more years until they graduate, they are proof that taking only one step at a time really does work. Students are always eager to smile for the camera. 115 Second graders show that they are willing to learn Mrs. Evans helps one of her students with the assignment Brandi Lankford searches hard for the answer to the problem Courtney Peavy's favorite time of the day is arts and crafts. This year the third graders have been facing challenges in their homework studies. In addition to reviewing what they learned in first and second grades, they had to face new obstcles like multiplication and division. They learned how to write in cursive during their third grade year. These are very important concepts that they will use daily for the rest of their life. Luckily, their teacher Mrs. Evans will be there to teach them and to constantly correct their errors until they are perfected. With their two years of school experience behind them, they will be able to handle this year in stride and progress on to the fourth grade. 116 Third graders enjoy taking time away from their studies Halfway Finished With Elementary School Michael Berry Jason Cage Heather Chaney Nikia Clark Andrew Daharsh Wendy Henson Michael Lamb Brondi Lankford Ledh Lindsey Cory Lynch Frank Mabry Timothy Moffett Kemi Olatundun Jamie Parker Courtney Peavy Brian Roe Andy Sanders Kevin Sellers Amanda Thompson Autumn Turner Third graders work hard so they can Mrs Evans tells the class the homework assignment, have free time. 117 Richie Breed Jeff Childress David Daharsh Brian Fisher Donna Hadden Jouvorch Jennings Selena Justice Kimberly Mercer Susan Moffett Matthew Morgan Paul Murphy Ginger Rabern Beverly Thompson Alisa Toy Brandon Turner Sarinah White Phillip Williams Robert Wilson Miss Williams' fourth grade finds school in- teresting. Their favorite days are Hawiian Day, Japanese Day, Popcorn Days, and News Flash days. Math is as good as chocolate candy to them. Science is hot as fire and English is the water that puts out the fire. Dodge ball is a favorite game; especially if one gets to be a champion.

Whether it is working math problems or doing projects, they use their determination to do a job well done. Fifth graders have especially enjoyed the new playground this year and have worked hard at breaking it in. All in all the fifth graders think that be- ing in fifth grade is a pretty great place to be. 121 Gabe Aldridge Patrick Alexander Shannon Allen Dottie Askew Jennifer Bradberry Brian Burroughs Matthew Conrod Quentin Cooper Alysin Cummings Kim Caharsh Stephen Davenport Shane Doby 122 Chris Schumus teds everyone about the horrible accident while acting as if it doesn't hurt. Heather Henson Becky Jones Amy Lee Chris Lynch Antwan Moss Brian Parker Sharon Robern Kevin Rose Amy Sanders Wendy Songster Chris Schmus Dena Tatum L From Smallest To Tallest They come in all shapes and sizes. Short and chubby; tall and skinny. There is an exception to the rule here at CHCS. They're in a class by themselves. They range from smallest to tallest. The girls are the tallest and the boys are the smallest. It basically stays that way until ninth grade and then it changes. The roles are switched. The boys no longer have to look up to the girls, now the girls have to look up to the boys. And then life is great. After ninth grade everything will fall into place. The boys wont think that girls and broccoli are in the same category. The girls will realize that the boys don't really have cooties and germs. But they better enjoy their time of cooties and germs while they have them. Because pretty soon they will look back and wonder ... Where did it all go? Music is one of the best times of the day for these sixth graders. 123 Active Elementary Students Even though it might be rainy outside elementary kids still have fun at play inside. The library means hard work when used by the elementary students. Andy Sanders. Wendy Henson and Brian Roe find time to goof-off while walking in line. The most favorite time of the day is lunch, which is enjoyed very much. 124 Students Who Learn At Home Luke Ralston Michael Moore John Moore Angie Pickens Jason Pickens Hannah Ralston Joshua Wilson Jennifer Wilson Beth Wilson Mike Winfrey Elementary classes learn just how good their singing ability is. 125 Seventh Grade A Captive Audiance Jason Anderson Kathey Berry Alyson Breed Terry Brown Jason Chester Carrie Clark Kacey Combs Ronda Conner John Daharsh Keturah Delye Tiffany Hall Scott Harper Joseph Hinely Melanie Howton Richard Kellog Kimberly Luke Melissa Lyon Brooke McLaughlin Being in a contained classroom has been a new experience for the sev- enth grade class and their teacher this year. Before seventh graders changed classes and had different teachers but this year they have been coping with the fact of being taught all their sub- jects in the same classroom by the same teacher. As an additional adjust- ment, this is also the second year that they have had the same teacher in a row. Being in a contained classroom has its advantages and its disadvan- tages. By being together all of the time in the same classes with the same people you get to know everyone better and feel closer; however, being together all of the time can create problems. Seventh graders are now in jr. high and they are ready to be included in with the rest of the jr. high and high school. 126 Junior High guys congregate to devise new ways to flirt with the girls.

SURVIVERS From Kindergarten all the way through elementary is a big step. But now the eighth grade is about to make one of the biggest steps ever ... HIGH SCHOOL. They've sur- vived the demerits, locker checks and the teachers. They've made it through eating lunch with the little kids. And now they have to fight to maintain their own identity with the high school. They've heard about the projects, reports and all the homework the teachers call “fun . But now they have to do it them- selves. They have to get used to staying up late at night doing a se- mester project because they wait- ed till the night before to start. They'll have to learn how to cram three weeks work into one night. Yes the pleasures and the laughs do continue but the work is part of the job. 129 SNEAKING A PEEK AT THE UNDERCLASSMEN Underclassmen. They are a group of spirited and excited individuals. They are no longer in elementary school but they are still considered too young to be grouped with high school students. Junior high is a very special time because you are finally growing up and beginning to mature more. You are included in more upperclass activities and you begin to feel as though you fit in more now. You may still be struggling with strong emotions as well as physical changes. You may still be the tallest girl in your class and your voice may still be changing but it is all part of grow- ing up. This is a time of renewed wonder at the world around you. Those underclassmen who look at all of this as normal instead of abnormal get through this difficult period with a greater ease. Melanie Howton working quietly Charles Askew tries to get help- in study halt fui answers to difficult problems 130 The junior high girls point a pretty picture. Students eagarly await much needed help from Mrs Talton. This group has to be up to something! Junior high students show that they occasion- ally do their work quietly. 131 Charles Allen Sheldon Arnold Dana Bell Tommy Bradberry Christi Bussey Micheal Callahan Heather Carpentieri Susan Evans Rebecca Gibson Shelby Haney Micheal Harper Kim Hatcher Lisa Hunter Stacy Irvine Kim Kellogg Hyeong Kim William Lucas Angie Mathis 132 Freshmen are a very special part of the High School. They are glad to be out of Junior High. Although they are still considered low man on the totum pole , they still feel that it's better than being in a junior high grade. Last year their class was small but they have grown a lot with the addition of many new students. They are characterized by different personalities and temperments. But they have all grown closer this year. The class officers are: Pres. Christi Bussey Vice Pres. Denise Patterson Sec. Tres. Amanda Ward Student Council Rep.

Why the sophomores? Well, no one seems to know for sure. We will just speculate and assume it was be- cause we were such a tight knit group. We are such close friends that even segregation could not keep us apart. The girls seem to spend their home- room time in Mr. Lee's room. There are some things you can't keep apart — one being boys and girls. Where there is a will there is a way.
