Weeks of planning pay off as juniors win hall competition Covering every square inch of wall space, “The Greatest Show on Earth” depicted basketball players and would-be sectional opponents as crea¬ tures from a circus. As did seniors and sophomores, spirit-minded juniors spent the weekend before sectionals painting signs and hanging streamers. At the mid-week pep session, faculty members appeared as cheerleaders and basketball players. The Booster Club- sponsored Basketball Bounce featured Mr. Basketball Jim Liss and his queen, Rosemarie Fathke. Spirit-rousing efforts were not in vain as loyal fans cheered the Bull¬ dogs to their third sectional crown at the Calumet Sectional. Falling to Gary West Side the following weekend, the team was knocked out of regional play.

CPHS appraises policies, curriculum with evaluations As a member of the North Cen¬ tral Association, CPHS is required to undergo an evaluation by outsiders every seven years. This October, a committee of 13 educators analyzed the results of the detailed self-study which was made last year to determine whether its conclusions are accurate, whether the school system’s programs coincide with its objectives, and whether the school fills the needs of the community. The committee’s find¬ ings are currently being studied to de¬ termine where and how the school’s workings need to be corrected and up¬ dated. With questionnaires and inter¬ views, the Northwest Study Council evaluated CPHS’s curriculum. All staff members underwent a review by ad¬ ministrators from within the school system. A student exchange with Lowell High School provided a com¬ parison of the traditional and modular scheduling systems. 18
