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.

ANID THE ' Wl r On October 7, 1983, the Bulldog football team played the traditional Homecoming game against Calumet’s War¬ rior team. The next evening, October 8, nearly 250 teenage couples crowded the dance floor during the Home¬ coming Dance which celebrated the football team’s victory of the previous evening. The Booster Club created the decor with the theme, “A Time for Us. This year ' s crowd was the largest Homecoming crowd in recent years. The band, 911, had the enthusiastic couples rocking and bopping all evening to the music of top pop vocalists and groups, including David Bowie, The Police, and Men Without Hats. At 9 p.m., a hush fell over the rowdy teenage crowd as the music stopped and the Booster Club president, Cyndi Lear, took the microphone. It was time to announce this year’s Homecoming Queen and Mr. Football. Applause and shouts rang out through the crowded room as the names of the lucky students were announced. The special honors were bestowed upon Nancy Cowan and Joe Kuehl, who were very proud of their new titles. Around 10:30 p.m., the crowd slowly started to thin out. By 11 p.m., when the dance was officially over, almost no one was left to sway to the music or laugh over the corny jokes being told. Ardley Tschetter and Melanie Oates move to the music of the band, 911. Couples share a quiet but memorable moment at the Homecoming Dance. 10
