Students, Faculty co-operated to present CPHS’s first joint performance “The Man Who Came To Dinner”. Both on stage and behind the scenes, students and teachers worked together with apparent success. Aside from being a box-office hit, faculty members agreed that the play was a success in that by working together toward a common goal, both teachers and students gained a better understanding of one another. Despite the fact that rehearsal did take up a large portion of their leisure time, the teachers felt that they had had a lot of fun doing the play. Spotlighted in the production was Principal Roger Childress who char¬ acterized Sheridan Whiteside, a world renowned author and lecturer. Whiteside became stranded in a small mid-west town with a broken hip. From his wheel chair, the arrogant executive dominated his host’s household with his selfish de¬ mands, radio broadcasts, and foreign visitors who added unexpected problems. ABOVE —“Damn, damn, damn!” shouts Whiteside as he’s plagued by another broken hip as the curtain falls. RIGHT —In one of her fits of anger, Maggie (Miss Jan Anderson) gives her boss White- side a piece of her mind. FAR RIGHT —Whether sober or drunk, Bert Jefferson (Mr. Craig Myers), the town repor¬ ter proves to be a trial to Whiteside. 12

Fire up for Victory chanted by CP students cheering the burning of Indians sparked Homecoming ’69. As the blaz¬ ing embers died away, the human snake uncoiled itself around the square and back again to the football field where the Myer’s Mob defeated the Elite Eleven in the Powder Puff game. In the actual game, half time found the Bulldogs locked in a scoreless tie. After the crowning of Queen Dana Shults and the awarding of Best Float to the seniors, the Bulldogs failed to maintain their resistance allowing Port¬ age to score twice in the fourth quarter. Despite the defeat, spirits were not dampened as students danced to the sounds of “The Story” while Mr. Foot¬ ball, Keith Kutzler and Queen Dana Shults reigned over “Autumn Leaves.” ABOVE RIGHT —Wigs and lipstick compli¬ ment the cheerleading skills of Keith Kutzler, Keith Seegers, Lou Gergely and Ed Burton. ABOVE —Seniors Helene Auskalnis, Vicki Walls, Laurie Heaton and Mary Kolarik link in the snake dance. LEFT —With pigtails flying junior powder puff star Suzy Mees scores a touchdown for Myer’s Mob. 11
