Girls’ Track Team Wins Second in State — Boys and Girls Form Coed Tennis Team — New Stadium Planned. These headlines are just one result of the many great revolu- tions which have taken place in the field of sports. Today, women are becoming more and more involved in athletics as the equali- ty of the sexes is brought to the fore front. Females can no longer be denied the privi- lege of playing on previously all male teams unless the school provides a team specifically for girls. Although this problem has not yet arisen at CCHS, it could occur at any time in the areas of cross country or football where no girls’ team exists. However, another major innovation has taken place at CCHS. Boys and girls now combine their efforts to form the tennis and gymnastics teams. Another revolution has been the much greater emphasis on the importance of sports. Today educators have realized the necessity of training the body as well as the mind. Therefore, a significant amount of money is now appropriated each year specifically for the propagation of the athlet- ic programs, and plans are now in the making for a new stadium to be built in the near future. Sports have finally gained their rightful place in the school program, yet changes are still taking place daily. Who knows — in 1985 our star quarter-back may be a girl! 4

Classroom atmo- spheres have become less structured, and students learn through trust exercises and group projects to relate to each other. Machines have also begun to play a large part in the educational process. Reading labs are now available in all schools, and audio-visual materials have proved to be great instructional aids. Education has come a long way from the one building school system to the complicated plants of today. Yet, the change is not complete; there are still many areas that need improvement. And to correct these flaws — We’re GONNA HAVE A REVOLUTION! Doing his own thing, Tim Carlton “learns by- playing” in a Spanish class skit. Demonstrating their powers of concentration, Sarah Somerville and Janice Clybern play imaginary checkers during a drama class improvisation.
