sets fashion pace for CPHS’ers Each year brings about fads—some tradi¬ tional, some brought back from the past, and some brand new. Senior cords, junior class sweaters, and sophomore class rings are the most popular of the CPHS customs. This fall knee socks were brought back from the twenties when the vogue was to wear them with golf knickers, only this year girls wore them with short pleated skirts. Huge purses of burlap or tapestry were as common in the CPHS halls and classrooms as were the ever- popular “gummies”. Small animal jewelry and initial pins were also a hit. Many of the boys wore either argyle or wide-striped sweaters over white shirts. “Steadies” still wore steady shirts and sweaters with the girl wrapping a fluff of angora around the boy’s ring. Gretchen Crontz, Kit Hedman, and Linda Jefferson proudly model their senior cords.

CPHS’ers fill spare Time Juniors D. Nemes, B. Schmal, and K. Zula are ready to burn a Lowell Red Devil in effigy at the bonfire. The 1340 students of CPHS all at one time or another make their way to different scenes of activity. Besides classrooms, each becomes familiar with the cafeteria, the bookstore, the library, and the office, headquarters of the heads. The next area one gets to know is the recreation room and how to operate the juke box. Games of basketball attract crowds to the gym, and football draws its to the foot¬ ball field to crouch on the bleachers in fair weather and foul. The old practice field is the scene of much action; outdoor gym classes, band practices, baseball games, and football calisthenics. The student parking lot also belongs in the category of scenes of ac¬ tivity on the campus of CPHS. The bookstore allows students to purchase needed school supplies. 8
