From the Ferris Wheel to the Carou- sel, tinkling melodies mingle with hoarse voices of vendors peddling hot dogs and soft pretzels. Gooey colored lollipops and cotton candy fill the air with a sugary sweetness. The weather feels like October and the event is the Chattahoochee Valley Fair. The fair is a perennial favorite of young and old alike. Featuring many various rides, shows, attractions and even competi- tions, the Fair has something for every- one. Children enjoy seeing llamas and donkeys at the petting zoos, teenagers like the fast rides and adults and older people appreciate the exhibits and the festive atmosphere. CHS students crowd to the fair each year and they were especially happy this year. Last year, lost funding and sponsorship gave students a scare. lt was only through a last ditch effort of Columbus citizens that there was a fair at all. This year, however, the fair re- turned in full force. The spirit was high and very enthusiastic among CHS stu- dents as it appears the fair has staying power and it will survive for many years.

Life's A Beach! , Every Spring Break and summer vaca- tion, students all over America crowd the beaches of the world seeking relief from the pressures of school life. Among the students that load into their cars Cwith or without parentsj and head off for fun, sun and adventure are Columbus High students. The most popular beaches for Colum- bus High are Panama City Beach and the beaches in the surrounding resort areas, running a close second is Daytona Beach. At any of these locations, students are able to experience not only the beach and ocean activities, but also many fun amusement facilities and active nightlife with students from across the United States. One of the most popular attrac- tions in Panama City is the Miracle Strip Amusement Park where teens can go on rides, eat cotton candy and buy custom- made airbrushed T-shirts. Some students prefer more exotic scenery and travel to foreign beaches. The beaches that are most traveled to are in Mexico, particularly Playa Del Car- men and Cozumel, two tourist cities on the Yucatan Peninsula. Good shopping and tourist attractions are also important elements of coastal Mexican towns. No matter what the occasion or where the beach is, nearly all CHS students love the beach life, and relish the fun, sun and adventure - after all, LlFE'S A BEACH! Senior Sandra Williams enjoys a warm day in the sun at West Point Lake. Sophomores Tina McNally, Jeni Wright, Amy Barefoot and Cindy Merrill like the nightlife at PC. Playa del Carmen, a Mexican tourist town is the scene for much fun and relaxation as the cruise ship SS Vera cruz is anchored offshore. Kim Adkins, Sophomore, and a friend reflect on a full day spent at Panama City Beach. Sophomore Kristin Keithly and a friend take pride in the sandcastle they made in Perdido Key, Florida, Sophomores Linda Mize and Robin Alexander have fun in the sun in Destin, Florida. The heat doesn't seem to bother Seniors Nancy Floyd, Carlos Viera and friend. Being in Panama City is worth a little discomfort. 22 Student Life YY Hd- l li - ' lm. Jilw. .. -ml.
