OFFICE STAFF The school day consists of many things other than reodin ' , writin ' , and ' rithmetic. There ore phones to answer, calls to make, errands to run, and many other important tasks. Honest and com- petent students assist in many of them, thus helping the school to run as smoothly as possible. One of the most important but leost rec- ognized duties at C.H.S. is the job of secretary! Mrs. Humphries, characterized by her glowing face ond pleasant dis- position, unfailingly executes her tasks. She is not only an importont part of the business department, but also a very help- ful guide to students. Her job is typified by the long streams of absentees pouring into the office to be excused for sundry ills, as well as tardi- ness. Mrs. Humphries also keeps the books, and attends to many other tedious jobs. Ernestine Humphries Secretary Carol Downey, Dottie Gaylor, Jay Buttner, June Henning, Lynda Hanks, Priscilla Early, Margie Stinnette, Gary Warlitner, and Scottie Boyd.

m am mmmm m . •emmnfti mmwtaiil f W yyr »a m J As soon os 0 class period ends, the halls come alive with sound. Locker doors slam, voices are heard remonstrating throughout school, and friends exchange the latest news. As the classes change and the halls clear, the scene shifts. A calm ensnares the school and students begin to absorb words of wisdom. Teachers explain problems and students eager to further their knowledge listen carefully as reasoning of the past broadens horizons and shapes destinies. Each student must learn to amass new principles and ideas in order to formulate his own opinions. Month in and month out students of CHS strive to do their best, to develop their personalities and to discover new vistas from the Sound of Learning.
