4 Winning isn't everything - but to CHS students it comprised a significant part of the school year. Hardly a week would pass without individuals, organ- izations, or teams being recognized for an outstanding contribution or vic- tory. This was definitely the year of the Tiger” as football, volleyball, bas- ketball, track, and tennis teams proved in athletic competition. For the first time in the history of CHS, the Tiger varsity football team had a 10-0 record earning the District 15AA title. Keeping up with its winning tra- dition, the varsity volleyball team took district honors again this year with a 9-0 record. After defeating Paul Pewitt at bi-district they advanced to Regional and then to State. Basket- ball, track, and tennis teams also did well, giving CHS a dominant year in District 15AA competition. Also victorious, junior varsity foot- ball and volleyball teams had records of 3-1-3 and 6-0, respectively. Organizations also represented this tradition of excellence. The CHS Stu- dent Council assumed the office of dis- trict president this year, organizing the spring meeting as well as execu- tive council meetings. Also, the Rodeo Club was awarded first place in the Community division for its float in the ETSU Homecoming Parade. Other organizations took active roles, but the most visible was the Tiger Band. The band won a trophy at the H.E.B. Marching Contest as well as at the ETSU Homecoming Parade. The CHS band followed the football team and had a 10-0 at halftime. The Tiger supremacy in District 15AA boosted the spirit and pride felt by students as well as community members. There was more participa- tion in spirit days, and confidence was expressed when any CHS student or group entered into competition. Overall, the CHS student body was the true winner; for without the stu- dents with the dedication, talent, and spirits, there would have been no teams, no organizations - there would have been no winners. With this winning student body, pride was expressed in the students and teachers for what they were and what they were becoming - a high school excelling in all activities and taking a spot in the limelight. a.
