Homecoming: grads, game, dance, queen Familiar faces of past acquainr- ances, an action-filled football game, the first dance of the fall semester, and the cro vning of a queen constitute one of the most memorable e ' e n i n ar s in each school year — Homecoming. Co- limibus High School opens its doors in velcome to all former and current students. The CHS ictory bell, rimg by cheerleaders Judy Repp and Su- san Abts, told of the Bull Dog success over arch-rivals, Shelby- ville on the football field.

includes people, learning, life Annual class elections bring out posters, tags, signs, and slo- gans plus fervent campaign spir- it. A mad dash to a short-waiting school bus and the traditional Junior-Senior Tug-O-War remain from year to year at CHS. Each scene is familiar. The people are not strangers, rather classmates, friends, and fellow learners. Columbus High School is a place of learning, but instructions do not stop with textbooks. The cause and effects of the Civil Var, trigometric identities, for- eign language basic sentences, and proper footnoting for a docu- mented English paper are all im- portant, but lessons of life are equally or more important. Every year is new in many ways. The faces of the student body and faculty change. Even the face of CHS changed this year. Trees, shrubs, bushes, and benches, were added to the cam- pus through a grant of a Colum- bus industry. The total enrollment increased to 2243 students and 114 faculty members. Holding the record for the largest class size to date was the Sophomore Class with 828 members. The curricidiun includ- ed 99 class choices. New courses added this year were college al- gebra, intermediate math, basic and vocational electronics.

Dance themes, moods vary Whether in circles, lines, squares, or just standing around jerking an d quivering, dances provide a needed outlet for ener- gies, emotions, and e en a somce of excercise. The Hobo, Sadie Hawkins and Christinas Dances differed in mood, but the music, people, shuffling feet and joxiali- ty filled the cafeteria. Tlie Hobo brigade included Mike Shipley, vhose garb ■ivon him a record album; Val!y Dietz demonstrated for equal rights for migrant workers. Linda Avery put finishing touches on the huge tissue paper Christmas l all, the dance center-piece. The girls got their fello vs for a tinn-about date to the Sadie Hau ' kins Dance. 11
