Here Miss Hep- ler is in charge of eighth grade girls, and Mrs. Hall is the in- structor for girls in grades 9-12. All these classes partici- pated in many projects, includ- ing making candy apples and chocolate Easter eggs, which were sold to supplement the EHA treasury. The year’s activities were cli- maxed with a spring fashion show. All girls enrolled in home economics modeled the outfits they had made during the year. Certainly Women’s Lib couldn’t convince these young ladies that the training they are receiving from Miss Hepler and Mrs. Hall is unimportant. TIS THE SEASON TO BE JOLLY . .

David A. Argo B. in Mus. Ed. M. Arts in Music Brevard College, Greensboro College, Radford College; Vocal I, II; Music Makers”. Fine Arts Inspire Talent Kenneth Kyle Keyser B E. A. in Art Ed. Chesapeake College, Richmond Pro- fessional Institute, Virginia Common- wealth University; Art I, IIA, II, III; Jayteens, Art Cluh. “MINE’S THE PRETTIEST” . says Mr. Key.ser. Some of the students in Art II seem to be challenging him. Discovering and developing talents are the main goals of the Fine Arts Department. Great vocal ability is recognized not only by the fellow students at CHS, but also by the outside world. For example, seven students represented CHS in the regional choir, and of these seven, Carolyn Switzer was chosen to participate in the Virginia State Choir in Norfolk. Not only can CHS students sing, but they also excel in the instrumental field. The seventy-seven member band is always a welcome sight and sound at football games and parades. The band and band boosters have worked hard to buy new uniforms. Proj- ects, such as newspaper drives, stationery and candy sales, and car washes, have been going full blast all year to make possible the reality of sparkling new uniforms to accompany the newest rhythms of the day. Even though the Art Department may be the quiet- est of the three, it is not, however, the least pro- ductive. In addition to innumerable class projects, their accomplishments are seen in the decorations for the Christmas Formal and the Prom. Without fine arts, one thing is for sure CHS would be a mighty dull place. Steven R. Eawrence M.A. in Music Ed. Concord College; Vocal III. Music Theory, Band I, II; Stage Band. AND 1, AND 2, AND A3.

P.E. — Where Friends Get T ogether Gooci health is the “word” all over the country today. Everyone is concerned about proper exercise, and some are even switching to a “natural foods” diet. The Physical Education Department at CHS is getting into the swing of the times, too. Warm up exercises and vigorous sports take place in the gym or on the field. Shouts of achieve- ment and competition echoing throughout the school premises are proof that the team sports keep students alert, active, and happy. Alternating with the physical activities is classroom instruction in driver training, first aid, and physical and mental health. In short, students learn in physical educa- tion how their bodies operate and how to keep them functioning well. WHERE ARE VOLI? . Wonder P.E. teachers looking for their assis- tants: D. Pyle, A.
