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.

14 We’re Proud! Tf hough short on shopping M malls, fast-food chains, and recreational sites, there is one thing Culpeper does have— pride! CCHS students and faculty members are no exception. Having pride and spirit means anything from cheering at football games, to just being a part of CCHS. When the band starts to play, or the Blue Devils score, who can avoid show¬ ing a little enthusiasm? From the beginning sophomores, to the Seniors, to the faculty and maintenance crew, the people of CCHS virtually shine with school spirit and pride. Everyone can be seen getting geared up at the pep rallies and the games, cheering on the Blue Devils! What we lack in size, we make up for in liveliness and ability. In all, CCHS is really a school to be proud of, and a place to hold one’s head high.
