INTANCIBLES M ke oun ME onies complere Long after we have forgotten algebraic formulas and quotations from julius Caesar, we will remember the intangibles which made our Coronado years special. - Although difficult to define and impossible to explain to a stranger, the elusive moods and atmospheres provided the background for major events. Feeling of pride in our Hrst Homecoming float, anticipation before the first-ever bonfire, indignation about the inconvenience caused by a teargas bomb and the excitement sur- rounding the Senior Carnival crowded less signihcant thoughts from our minds. Expressions of our spirit and con- tinuation of our traditions contributed to the ever-present feeling that CHS is No. l. Students welcomed the opportunity to participate in new projects which they hoped would become school customs. The enthus- iastic response to the spirit chain, the abundance of signs and posters, the generosity of those participating in the Christmas projects and the many dedicated hours of preparation for the Prom provided evidence that The closer you look, the better we look. Although new activities and proj- ects were introduced throughout the year, the mood of the student body remained the same in its undaunted feeling of school support and pride. Realizing that changes invariably accompany a new school year, both Coronado students and faculty at- tempted to grasp something concrete by redehning the year 's intangibles. ,Q , f.

Getting out of school, water skiing, swimming, travelling and attending concerts were just a few of the pleasurable events inspired by sun- ny weather. Most students felt that summer gave a freedom to get away and relax. The usual school-day worries such as homework, exams, tardies, make-up work and schedule changes were quicklyforgotten after the final bell May 27. For seniors it was both an end and a beginning. However, in some cases new worries replaced the old. For many students, summer ushered in a period of full time jobs and hard work. These students H , W -...cfs 'r..4-:- HE UN seemed to do nothing more than ex- change their school schedules for even more demanding work schedules. But getting paid for their efforts made sum- mer jobs more desirable to most stu- dents. However, little leisure time was enjoyed by those who spent the ma- jority of their days lor nightsl working. Whether it was work or play, summer had a special effect on everyone. Even the heat and dryness of a West Texas summer did not hinder seasonal ac- tivities. The fun-filled days went on as usual, despite the heat. Few let the con- flicts of weather and jobs deter their fun. Just the lazy warmth and lush green of summer added a new look and anticipation for the months ahead.
