M ini skirts, pumps, and blue jeans were once again seen as another year began at CCHS. As usual, crowded halls were full of new faces lost in the confu¬ sion of the first week. As the weeks lingered onward, new students as well as old ones be¬ gan to feel welcome at CCHS, and set their sights and goals for what lay ahead. One new face in the crowd was senior Tammy Martin. When asked what the biggest dif¬ ference between CCHS and her for¬ mer school was, she replied, Culpeper is a lot smaller and it seems that everyone knows every¬ one else.” Martin moved to Culpep¬ er from Herndon where she attended a school with an enroll¬ ment of around 2700 students, com¬ pared to just over 1000 here at CCHS. Senior Sean McDaniel, who moved here from Chantilly, VA, was surprised by the strict enforcement of the tardy policy. Where I used to go to school,” he said, more peo¬ ple were suspended for skipping school, but here everyone gets sus¬ pended for tardies.” Senior Tammy Jo Ellis was anoth¬ er new face seen around CCHS. Hav¬ ing moved here from nearby Orange County, she said she was most sur¬ prised by the amount of school spirit.” She stated that CCHS was more than what I expected. Cul¬ peper has many more school-spon¬ sored events.” When the Homecoming queen was about to be crowned, students who participated in the Homecoming Parade flocked onto the sidelines for a front-row seat.
