With all kinds of close physical contact the action between classes involves more than just going to a locker and getting books for the next period. Premarital interdigitation in the halls was strictly forbidden as usual. Yes, hand holding along with any other bodily contact was condemned by the administration, and offenders were prosecuted by both embarrassment and demerits. Although this almost Victorian principle was maintained, the students enjoyed an enormous amount of freedom with the liberal dress code. Boys wore any length of hair, and sideburns and mustaches became commonplace. The only exception to this existed within athletic department regulations.

Booths housing a balloon-pop, football throw, turtle race, fortune telling, teacher dunk and a variety of refreshments were included. Bock and folk music and old movies helped capture a nostalgic mood. The evening concluded with a dance. A huge success, the Senior Carnival earned 31,050 which purchased the senior gift, and the activity unified and involved many students. Even a large crew turned out to clean up. ln contrast, September once again brought the South Plains Fair. With all the glamour of a garbage dump and the cacaphonious sounds of a nightmare, the fair annually succeeds in ranking in the money. These profits are reaped from the midway which is composed of rides, try-your-skill booths, freak shows and jewelry stands. All of these amusements are unbelievably expensive, especially during this inflationary period, plus only a couple of new rides or exhibits were added. Delighting students, school was dismissed early one day and free admission tickets distributed, so that those interested could attend. The coliseum's shows were changed daily when attracted spectators, and a few CHS students won awards for entries in agriculture and women's exhibits. Ouite a few teenagers, dissatisfied with the fair, simply went home early, deciding that if you've seen one fair, you've seen 'em all . . i I Doing their part to clean up after the Senior Douglass mop the floors.
