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?

Eighth crowning, spirited contest highlight evening Homecoming-a reunion of graduates, a queen, a dance and a football game. One of the oldest and most widespread traditions, Homecoming evoked preparations such as corsages, an election, decorating for the dance and general apprehension. Katherine Hall was crowned that night during the traditional half-time activities. There was a suspicion that the custom of a Homecoming was losing popularity, but attendance and involvement was nevertheless large. Perhaps changes, such as more publicity and a party for graduates, would stir more enthusiasm, however, as of now, no attempt has been made to contact or inform CHS exes of the festivities. Time goes on and inevitably old things must change to suit the era. At least CHS wasn't as cynical as one high school in California where students made a mockery of the whole affair and in protest elected an unusual homecoming queen-a boy. 26 Activities Following the announcement of the Homecoming Queen, Katherine Hall, candidates Christi Nloxley, Mitzi Hall, Vicki Lovell and lVlia Diekemper leave the field after half-time festivities. Highlighting the evening was the after-game dance featuring Forty Dollar Dog.
