PRESENTING a backward glance at the tirst ten years in CCHS as the COLONNADE portrays the Record of I960 For CCHS students 1959 marks the end of the first ten years in the new building and the beginning of a new decade. Moving from the crowded area on East Street to the spacious hill on U. S. Route No. 229 was one of the first moves made in the spreading out of the town. The new location had adequate space. Three athletic fields and recently a track field helped to increase the activeness in sports. Also on the ground was an agriculture building. The administration was located just a short dis- tance from the school. In recent years, growth showed a need for another building. This building houses four eighth grade rooms, a large band room and an activities room. Future plans call for an auditorium adjoining this building. During the ten years changes were made inside the building too. Most of the rooms received a new coat of paint last year, some rooms have curtains, and new desks with formica tops replaced old ones. New equipment in all departments has helped to give each student a better and more well-rounded education. Projectors, science libraries, model hearts, tape recordings, and electric type- writers — all increase the students’ knowledge and prepare them to face the scientific world of today.
