FALL DELICATE TOUCH — Dr. Ralph Melville demonstrates the art of glass blowing. RUSH TO LUNCH — Students make a dash for the cafeteria and the drink machines. Largest Enrollment Strains CCHS Walls Halls of CCHS echoed the sound of students returning to crowded halls and classrooms. Every available space, including the cafeteria, the furn- ace room, and storage rooms behind the gym was needed to accommodate the rise in student popu- lation. Rush for buying books, insurance, activity tickets, and changes in schedules added to first day confusions. The parking lot for students contained only senior and junior cars after Principal Lloyd Creg- ger returned parking lot privileges. A sticker cost- ing fifty cents accompanied each car. Senior privileges decreased as any student arriving from 8:15 to 8:30 could go in the lower hall or in the cafeteria. From 8:30 to 8:54 all areas were opened to students. Pep rallies held in the gym before football games boosted school spirit. Students posed for individual pictures for the COLONNADE on September 26 and 27. 10
