What would ยท be next? This year we were asked to paint our faces with the school colours, wear a crazy hat, shake hands with a stranger and wish them 'Merry Christmas' and if that wasn't enough, we had to chug down glass after glass of milk. One day we were informed that the next day's ap- parel should be red and black while a short while later, black was to be the colour of the day. We made Olympic scrap books, decorated our doors and dressed in clothes from the '60s. Did we go along with this? You had better believe it for we had that C.C.J. SPIRITIII

TOP LT.: Black day at C.C.I. - Keri Kadwell, Shelby Ferguson, Mar- tine Dennis, Andrew Peycha, Alexia Lulechis & Melody Sammons. TOP RT.: Sean 'Tonto" Ren- nie MID. RT.: 'Quiet Week' to Jeff Rawn means study- ing on a bench in the hall. BOT. RT.: 'G.I.' Asbeck scouts the halls looking for spirit!
Twice a year the students and staff alike are presented with a series of days that echo the same theme. Suddenly the gym is quieted, the library becomes overcrowded and the hallways are void of activity. There has been a variety of names given to this theme period. Some call it 'turn-around', 'exam week', 'semester changeover' or 'evaluation period'. Whatever the ter- minology, it all means the same. For the student, all extra- curricular activity ceases and the push is on. There are major essays to complete, assignments to hand in and EXAMS TO BE WRITTEN. The teacher can look forward to long hours of mark- ing, stacks of report cards to write, numerous meetings and the consumption of endless cups of coffee. Until it has passed, all concerned wish that this was one theme week that we could do without!
