2 l i V I s.,-4' F32 uf? Carnival, fair attract students Fabulous Fifties marked the Senior Carnival during which participants dressed in appropriate bobby socks, baggy pants and saddle oxfords. 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.

Spirit committee makes work fun Who cares? This expression became trite in connection with school spirit among certain individuals and cliques. However, improving last year's response, spirit committees, clubs and cheerleaders provoked waves of excitement. Organizations painting the most signs for each football game received recognition and spirit sticks during pep rallies. As a whole, pep rallies stirred enthusiasm and succeeded in producing unique programs. Some special effects were cheerleaders dressed in 50's attire, balloons and confetti dropped on fans, and candy thrown to the loudest cheerers. Specific complaints of the majority labeled apathetic seemed to be a resentment toward athletics being singled out and supported more than other activities, and complaints of forced participation. The latter complaint was not valid since students not wishing to attend pep rallies were allowed to remain in homeroom. Apathy is just a result of disinterest and everyone has different concerns. It may be our biggest problem. But who gives a damn?
