Pollution Crisis At CHS-Ugh!
by Paula Warren
Webster’s Dictionary gives the definition of pollution as being
desecration, impure, dirty, unclean, and contaminated. Pollution
is an ugly word, but it is even more ugly itself.
CHS is facing a pollution crisis now. The lunchroom looks like
a pig pen after all the lunch shifts. If you don't believe this, then
just look over your shoulder when you walk out the lunchroom
door. I'm sure you will be apalled to see what a nasty place you
just ate in. This is not the janitors fault. They clean up the
lunchroom and then the students completely demolish it. The
lunchroom is not the only thing that is being abused but the
parking lot is also a garbage dump If you drive a car on campus
then you must have a place to park. The question is where do you
park? The answer is not that simple. You have to first clear away
all the bottles, cans, paper and broken glass so that you will be
able to drive home when school is out and not be stranded with a
flat tire
Students, when you enter high school; you should be develop
ing into an adult. You are no longer a child. But from the way
things look around here, it would appear that most of you are
still a little child who has to be picked up after.
If you compare CHS to other schools such as Summerville
Elementary, then I’m sure that you will be ashamed to see that
those little first and second graders are not half as messy as some
of us tend to be.
Pollution is everyone’s problem and not just the concern of a
few. We have a beautiful new school but at the rate some of us
are going; it will be condemned before another two years. Take
pride in CHS and do not litter up the campus, halls or the
lunchroom. The students here are smart and capable of making
CHS the best so do it and please do not litter
Participation Is High At ('IIS
by Patsy Henderson
As you have noticed, the campaign for class officers has been
going strong the past few weeks. This year the students cam
paigned more than ever before. Signs were posted on doors,
windows, clocks, water fountains, fire extinguishers, exit signs
and even ceilings.
The elections were conducted in a mature and adult manner.
The students showed good sportsmanship throughout the entire
campaign and election.
The pride which has been instilled in the students was shown
by their participation in the elections. We would like to commend
the students for their behavior and congratulations to the
winners!

“Mr. Henderson, I’m just not familiar with the music depart
ment requirements at AU.” This discussion took place in
Drama 1 20 as students portrayed CHS teachers.
Students Are Spirited
Hey you over there! Stand
up and start to cheer! This past
week the students really
showed their spirit and that is
what counts. The team needs
to have a lot of spirit from
everybody to let them know
we love ’em. The two most
spirited this week are Alice
Hoskins, a senior, and Greg
Stewart, a junior.
Linebackers;
Key to Great Defense
Names like Dick Butkus,
Tommy Nobis, Nick Beouni
conte, and the former Packer,
Ray Nitske stand out in
people’s minds as being great
linebackers. The job of line
backers is to contain the run as
well as the pass. They can
stunt, blitz, or stay at home
and read the opposing team
plays.
Pad’s Poems
... on having fun
Ever tried to have fun? Let
me tell ya hun that it always
ain’t so easily done.
There are many ways to
have your fun . . . you can run
for your fun or lay in the sun
or go buy a shotgun and shoot
a nun.
It’s always fun when your
football team’s won, you know
that’s no pun.
I guess the most fun I ever
have hun, is when I eat burgers
in a sesame seed bun could eat
’em by the ton!
And now this poem’s done
and I’ve gotta run, so if 1 were
you. I’d go have some fun!
Monday, October 15 Week
to publish list of course for
winter quarter and build single
ton schedule.
Wednesday, October
17 State Board of Education
will hold hearing on NTE and
certification.
Alice bubbles over with
spirit and pride. She is one of
the main leaders in the cheer
ing section at all of the ball
games.
Greg has helped with spirit
in more than one way. He
made head feathers for the
cheerleaders and fills in for the
spirit chief when he is making
rounds at other tee-pees.
Chattooga’s linebackers are
Mike Ledford, Tommy Brooks,
and Greg London. They are
coached by Namon Weisman
and have contributed valuable
tackles in giving the Chattooga
defense a respected name.
Next week the offensive
backfield will be featured,
including the fullbacks, tail
backs, and of course the quar
terback.

Our Band Works
Hard for a “1”
What is comprised of hard
working boys and girls and
makes a big noise? The mighty,
marching CHS Band of course!
This year our band has worked
for their up-coming festival.
This Saturday, Oct. 13, the
band will go to Jax State’s
Band Day. Many bands from
all over Georgia and Alabama
come and participate in this.
Each band marches in front of
the visitors. This is considered
a good learning experience for
the younger members and it is
also a week before their march
ing festival.
The following Saturday,
Oct. 20, our band will travel to
Douglass County, Georgia to
participate in the annual Doug
lasville Marching Festival. This
is where the band will receive
their rating for this year. There
Club News
FBLA has a lot planned for
this year at CHS. To start
things off, this club was host to
the sth District FBLA Fall
Planning Conference last Satur
day. There were nine state
offjeers present, and Mr. E. B.
Toles, Legislator from Floyd
County, was guest speaker.
The FBLA is busy through
out the year doing many dif
ferent projects. Most service
projects for this year are un
decided but two of them wiil
be decorating the artificial
Christmas tree which the club
donated to the Nursing Home
last year and helping with the
Cancer Crusade by typing cards
and bringing filesup to date. A
meeting will be held today to
discuss plans for money
making projects.
Conferences and banquets
are also planned for this year.
February 10-16 will be
National FBLA Week. April
5-7 members will attend the
state conference in Atlanta.
District FBLA competition
in typing, shorthand, spelling,
and speech will be in the
month of February. There will
also be a VOT Banquet but
plans are undecided.
Anyone is eligible to join
the club who is taking or who
has had at least one business
course. Dues are $3.50 and

to water ski and ride motor
cycles for fun.
If you were to pay a visit to
Jocelyn, you would find her
listening to Elton John on the
stereo, watching the TV show
Maude, and munching on
pizza.
If you were to go to Bo
Barnes house and didn’t find
him outside working on his
Bat mobile, you would prob
ably find him watching Batman
on TV and eating his favorite
food “taters.”
Even though the meanest
thing Bo has ever done was to
hit his mother, he still thinks
more of his parents than of
anybody else.
Congratulations to these
two fine people.

are three judges for the band,
one judge for the rifle and flag
corps, one for the majorettes
and one for the drum major.
Each of these sections will
receive a separate rating.
There are five ratings that a
band can receive at contest.
They are: 1, which is Superior,
2 is Excellent, 3 is Good, 4 is
Fair, and 5 is poor.
Last year our band proudly
brought a “1” back. Since they
got a “1” they received a
trophy which is on display.
With enough hard work, they
should be able to bring another
trophy back.
Everyone come out to sup
port the band on Friday nights.
If so, they will do a good job
and our community will have a
reason to be proud of them.
Who Is Really
R esponsi ble ?
Picture today the day of a
big game. Everybody is so
bubbling over with spirit, they
can not keep it inside so they
begin to really yell. Every
where you go people are yell
ing—in the halls, and at the Pep
Rally! You might think, “Boy
those cheerleaders have it.
They really can get up spirit.”
Well, maybe you are right.
They do work hard, but'have
you ever thought that maybe it
was not only the cheerleaders?
Probably not, but CHS spirit
would be dead if our adminis
tration did not approve of our
hollering in the halls and in the
lunchroom. In previous years,
students were forbidden to yell
anywhere but at the rallies.
This really cut out alot of spirit
that many students might have.
You either have it or you do
not. If you do then you can
not keep it all bundled up in
side.
If you will look around you
will notice how cooperative
our administration is. Yell, you
will not get in trouble unless,
of course, it is in the middle of
a class.

Backing Proves to Be
Common Interest Os Most
Few times in the history of
CHS has there ever been such
spirited people chosen for Most
School Spirit as there has been
this year. The two students
elected for this senior superla
tives have many things in
common, but one in particular.
They are backers. You are
probably wondering what kind
of backing our Most School
Spirit are doing. Could it be
that they are backing our
mighty Indian players and
cheerleaders on to the most
‘spirited season CHS has ever
seen? Probably so because they
are determined to prove that
CHS is the very best. The ’73
Most School Spirit are Mary
Katherine Camp and Bob
Eleam.
