VOLUME 30 — NUMBER 8
Hotel Of Horrors To
Open This Weekend
The Chattooga High School
Student Publications staff will
once again be hosting its an
nual Halloween House of Hor
rors this year, and sponsor
Alan Perry has promised that
this year's event will be a
radical change from those of
the R}Cst three years.
“We're in a new location,”
said Perry, "“and we've got a
great house. We've tried to
make changes each year so
that we don't have the same
old thing, and this year we're
really going all out to provide
fright Fans with the most chill
ing, spine-tingling house of hor
rors ever.'
One of the main changes to
be seen this year is in the
presentation of the house,
which is being billed as ‘“The
Hotel of Horrors.” The visitor
will find himself wandering
through a hotel of haunts,
hobgoblins, and hysteric
guests. There will be a main
desk where, as Perry put it,
“guests check in, but they
don't check out.” The hostess
of the hotel, Elvira, mistress of
the dark, will send visitors on
their way through the hotel
restaurant, where certain

included information on goals,
choosing a staff, equipment,
copy writing, editing and
technical information.

JARED HOSMER BACK TO PASS
Freshman Quarterback Passes for 169 Yards
Cass Colonels Demolish Indians 40-13; Fight Mars Game
By BRIAN WEST
The Chattooga Indians
traveled to Cass%ast Friday
night to play the Cass Colonels
in the Indians' second
subregion game. The Indians
were defeated 40-13 in a con
troversial game plagued by a
fight and unsportsmanlike
béxavior. This loss lengthened
the Indians’ loss column to 8,
with no wins to their credit.
The Cass running back
Sherman Darby unleashed a
spectacular scoring exhibition
with two touchdowns in the
first quarter. The Indians, with
several players on the injured
reserve list, were incapable of
suppressin% the Colonels’ of
fense. By the close of the first
half, Cass was dominating
Chattooga on the scoreboard
with a 2%-0 lead.
The Colonels came back in
the second half with an aerial
attack to further advance the
gap between the two scores.
The first touchdown was ac
complished when the Cass
quarterback united with their

attended my class were very in
terested in l)eamin more agout
how to get a regu%ar televised
broadcast started. It takes a
lot of work, but it can be done
if the students are willing to
put forth the effort. I hope that
this class will in some way give
those students from otgher
schools the encouragement
they need to get their own
shows started. After all, while
we enjoy the prestige of being
the only school in the state

second touchdown came when
an Indian punt was blocked
and recovered in the endzone
by the blocker. Cass added its
last touchdown late in the third
quarter when they returned a
kickoff 84 yards to score.
Refusing to surrender,
Chattooga capitalized in the
third perjod with 4:01 left when
freshman quarterback Jared
Hosmer connected with senior
running back Reginald Groce
for a 37 yard touchdown pass
which put the Indians on the
board. The PAT was good.
Once again in the fourth
quarter, Hosmer teamed up
with Groce on a 10-yard pass,
but the PAT was no good‘.) The
final score in this contest was
Cass 40, Chattooga 13.
What most fans will
remember about this game was
the evident unsportsmanlike
conduct on the part of the Col

escalate matters, deputies
