The opportunities for self-expression offered by the Hnglish Department are unlimited. The five years ' analyses of grammar and mechanics give each student a thorough dose of this phase of English. However, grammatical structure is not the only point stressed. All five years are packed with literature, contemporary and classic. Thus stu- dents. growing in appreciation for great pieces of literature, develop a taste for good books. Of course, self-expression blossoms in com- position. Again opportunities vary; all areas of composition are included in the writing program. With varied offerings, boring English classes do not exist at CHS. Mrs. V irginia W .

Our Guidance Department is the most flexible de- partment at CHS. Mr. Hill, Mrs. Cvizic, and Mr. Fuhrman are constantly changing schedules, filing reports, and counseling students. In fact, every day is vastly different. This year a portion of the main office was converted into a guidance suite and a “browsing room” where students may seek information on colleges and trade schools. These new additions have given a professional air to our guidance services. The three counselors make CHS a more enjoyable and happier place to be. Proper guidance, friendly smiles, and helpful hints are definite attributes of this de- partment. Anyone who needs a friend knows “the suite” is the place to go. DOl ' BLE TROl ' BLE . . .

Mr. Hill and Mrs. Cvizic are losing their minds over reports piling up. 17
