Students pick
'63-'64 courses
Subject choice sheets were pass-
ed out to all students last week
for them to indicate the subjects
they would like to take next year.
A tally sheet was completed after
all of the sheets had been turned
in to the Principal, Alton L.
Goodin.
The classes will have approxi-
mately the same number of stu-
dents that they usually have, ac-
cording to the tally sheet. Secre-
tarial training and journalism
were the only two classes that
didn't have enough students in-
terested in them to offer the
courses. **
Of the new courses offered, ten
students indicated they wanted
to take Spanish I and 22 stu-
dents indicated the health course,
which is only a one-semester
course. •
The chemistry class, which al-
ternates every year with physics,
will have 29 students next year.
Principal Goodin said that a
tentative schedule for 1963-64
would be made and given to each
student before this school year
expires.
Speaker welcomed
Weekly devotional was held in
the high school auditorium last
Thursday, May 18.
Beverly Garrison led one song,
accompanied by Carole Anne Hig-
nett. to begin the service. Danny
Campbell introduced the speaker,
Tommy Phelps, who had recently
held the revival at Washburn. Mr.
Philps. a former Amarillo wrest-
ler, gave his testimony and said
he planned to become a Baptist
preacher, travel the U.S. and per-
haps the world, preaching the
gospel.
Gloria Thompson, junior stu-
dent. said. "This was the second
time I have heard Mr. Phelps
speak, and I believe each student
enjoyed his inspiring talk."

Fords, Chevys most
popular on campus
Ford and Chevrolet cars seem
to be the favorites of CHS stu-
dents. Among the students who
bring their cars to school regular-
ly, Fords and Chevrolets top the
list.
Ricky Barnett seems to be driv-
ing the newest Ford to school.
His bright red, 1962 Ford is a
familiar sight to CHSers. James
Finle.v follows close, in that he
drives a 1961 black Ford. Jimmy
and Mickey Thomas, Gloria Tho-
mpson, Don Mitchell and Ronnie
Wetzel drive recent model Fords
to school quite regularly. Mark
Thomas and Sara Beth Byrd
drive 1953, pale green Fords. This
sometimes gets confusing, espec-
ially to these two students. Julia
Harreds 1954 turquoise Ford can
be regularly seen in front of the
.Claude High School.
The Chevrolet owners follow
closely to the number of Ford
