The halls of CCHS are places where all students are equal in their own right to be expressive. In many classrooms, students arc handicapped by desks and stifled by teachers — the halls represent freedom. This freedom that exists is enhanced by not having the pressures of the classroom. Thus students’ actions are convincingly different from those observed at any other time. Students find that in the halls be- tween classes and during lunch shifts that they can essentially relax. Some even find that they can mentally or even physically escape the reality of school. During iheir lunch shift, a group of students get together for a quick game of cards. 15 Leonard Bosworth sits on his trash can throne as he talks with Tammie Burke. Tricia Swan, and Kelly Pickeral.

Students Work due to Economic Needs Rising prices and devaluation of the dollar have affected student's economic situation. The need for extra cash has forced a large number of students to aquire part-time employment. Not all students are able to suffice this need due to the shortage of jobs in the Culpeper area. The shortage along with lay-offs and pay cuts is a result of the ever increasing national inflation problem. Employers don't need student help at the present, because in most instances they find it dif- ficult to pay employees that they already have. Students who have jobs now should consider themselves fortunate because they are a privileged few. Most businesses seem pleased with their part-time help, but they cannot afford to hire additional help. Food market worker. Roger Hitt, assists a cus- tomer with his purchase.

All people are different and interesting in some way. If everyone were the same, high school would be a very dull place. ACCUSATION. In a fit or rage.
