chorus girls Lisa Kelly, Maryan Armstrong, Laura LaGrow, and Susan Martin swing and sway the Follies’ way! Approximately twenty CCHS students contributed to the production of this year’s show. Is it “love at first sight” for students Lee Fletcher and Dean Wagoner? No, Grub Day is the explanation. Students pay fifty cents to the Junior class to dress in their own grubby style. This attraction on Wall Street’ is, in reality, the high school show girls who performed in the 1973 Pink Ladies’ Follies. The Pink Ladies are volunteer workers for the hospital. This is their fund raising event. Grub Day participants exhibited diversity in their costumes. Viewed from the back, this student appears to be a tree. Turn the tree around and one finds the painted face of Kathleen Newman. This student was noted to have had one of the more original costumes. 15

Student Poll Splits A new year brought a fresh concept for school spirit. The past inside pep rallies were con- fronted with the competition of this yeeu ’s first outside pep rallies. Nature, the CCHS band, and the cheerleaders all shared a part in the attempt to promote spirit. Orange High challenged the student body to a contest of building spirit chains. Purchasing five cent links was the “talk of the week”, but efforts proved useless with a stalemate decision. Grub Day was brought back to the halls of CCHS after a year of rest. The junior class, sponsors of the event, awarded prizes for originality. Some students expressed approval of the outside pep rally, in spite of the heat and insects. Linda Tharpe manages to crack a smile while watching the antics of the cheerleaders. Delight peeks from under this student’s hat. This pep rally participaid, although he is unknown, easily conveys his feeling. Varsity, J.V., and G.A.A. cheerleaders decorate the field for the first outside pep rally.
