w School spirit and loyalty seem to go hand in hand and perhaps are one. School spirit seems to be a tired clichO. However hackneyed the team, school spirit seems to be thriving as much as ever before. Although graduation will seem to bring loss of memory and famil¬ iar faces will blur, distant in time and meaning, yet memories of CPHS will al¬ ways live in the minds of its graudates. During the year, school spirit soared and was not restricted to athletes but extended to academics as well. A sense of school spirit is a fulfillment that ech¬ oes through the lockers, the lined hall¬ ways, and into the very claustrophobic classrooms. It is a sense of pride, pride that comes through the hard work of one complete unit. In turn, efforts do not go unnoticed, but they are rewarded most satisfacto¬ rily by the personal triumph of each stu¬ dent. School spirit cannot be gauged only by the attendance at athletic events, but rather by the attitude of its student body. The past school year was filled with its share of excitement from extra¬ curricular activities. The attitude was a good one, as stu¬ dents felt not only content with their ac¬ complishments, but proud as well. Sophomore class officers decorated their jeep be¬ fore the Homecoming parade.

As part of their daily routine, students from Lakes of the Four Seasons endure their long bus ride to and from school. 6

WE A ICC EE0UID to be CIP! It is obvious that no one year is per¬ fect in any aspect of the word. With ev¬ ery day, problems arise, many of which are not solved merely by a trip to the principal’s office or a five minute ses¬ sion with the guidance counselor. All things must pass, and inevitably they do. But for every negative setback that arises, there seems to be a handful of positive reasons to be more proud of CPHS. Although few will admit to enjoying school and everything that goes with it, day after day, when it’s all ended, stu¬ dents think otherwise. Soon these years of high school become only pages of a scrapbook of the mind kept alive in this yearbook. Much, by any standard was accom¬ plished in the year just past at CPHS, and it remains to be seen what else can be achieved in future years. Luck permitting, CPHS will thrive for another 100 years more, and these signs of what it means to us will remain. Though it may not be a time that will be remembered by all who lived it, for us it was our time. That is something that can never be taken away from us. We are proud to be CP.
