Football season brings with it many related activities for student participation. Pep rallies are a frequent occurrence. The annual Home-Coming game passes, leaving another queen for the pages of C. H. S. history. The conflict with Clifton Forge for the traditional Brown Jug comes and goes, making way for the cheerleaders' Sadie Hawkins Dance, where girls ask boys and a foot- ball player is named Lil' Abner . Basketball takes up where football left off and girls as well as boys practice daily, working up new strategies and running through new plays.

The A'Cappella Choir presents an in- spiring program of Christmas musicg the Student Council is host for the annual Christmas Formal in a picturesque setting of holiday majesty.
