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

Homecoming and PromgiveCPHS’ers Congratulations! Nancy Werblo crowns 1962 Home¬ coming Queen, Janet Schulte, and Mr. Football, Dennis Navarre. Waving banners, floating streamers, the shouting voices of CPHS students as they followed their class cars around the town square, and rousing band music marked the traditional Homecoming parade. After circl¬ ing the football field, everyone prepared to watch the tense Homecoming game against the Lowell Red Devils—a game that will go down in CPHS annuals as a decisive victory. The Queen and Mr. Football were crowned at half-time in a sudden moment of absolute- darkness on the field. At game’s end students and recent alumni left the field for the dance to help celebrate their team’s victory. Another important social event was the long-anticipated Junior-Senior Prom. The exotic mood of “Almost Paradise” prevailed as couples danced, talked, ate, and chose their Prom royalty, who then led the grand march. Decoration, publicity, and ticket committees, staffed by juniors, strained budget and nerves to make this one of the best-remembered Proms of all. 10
