Advertisers Welcome back to school! I suppose all CHSers have al ready gotten, or are getting ready to get, into the swing of school life again. I hope none of you freshmen had too hard a time finding your way around the maze of CHS halls today. Next week those same halls won’t seem at all like a maze; as a matter of fact, in a couple of weeks you’ll feel like you’ve been at CHS all your life. And boys, I hope you won’t have too much trouble getting off all that lipstick and Mercuro- Chrome. We must make you feel welcome, you know! This summer has been a busy one for most CHSers. Almost everyone has made trips to either mountains, the lake, or the beach and some lucky ones have taken trips as far as California and Canada. Others have stayed home to attend summer school, work on correspondence courses, or work in stores or plants or around the house. Most CHS clubs and organiza tions have been active this sum mer too. < . The FHA, sponsored by Airs. Jean Bouknight, and the FFA, sponsored by Mr. Avery Smith, both made trips to the beach to attend week-long camping ses sions.
