People, Classes, and Activities Are CELESTIAL CHEERLEADERS ... For the traditional Little Brown Jug assembly, the cheerleaders presented a skit entitled “0-0-Cougar”. One part of the wild plot called for the Clifton Mountaineer to attempt entrance into Heaven. 12 He was naturally refused, for such an unsavory character would not be fit company for Cougar angels Karen Ents- minger and Penny Burks.

WHAT MAKES CHS UNDERSTAND? . . . Mr. Walker explains the titration of an acid and a hydroxide to John Boone and Jerry Meadows. What makes CHS different from the thou- sands of other public high schools in the United States? CHS is special . . . first of all, because of its people: capa- ble teachers who, while they are demanding, are also kind, and students whom we know and call our friends, . . . because even the classes, similar at least in name to those of other schools, are, hap- pily, interesting as well as challenging. . . . because of its activities which produce a school spirit which lasts through the years. Sharing the interests of clubs and the ex- citement of sports is a sure way of creating enduring friendships. Other schools have much the same ele- ments, but to the 670 students who go to school here, CHS is unique. And we think we know what these people would say if they were asked, “bT iat makes CHS?” T-W-E-E-T! . . . The shrill blast of the whistle summons the girls in Mrs. White’s physical education classes to line up for exercises.
