+++++* HYPNOTIC PERFORMANCE AT CCHS *+++++

See your friends and teachers do things they never thought they would! 
Hypnotist Russ Burgess has convinced students around the country to 
"walk on the moon." He can persuade his subjects that the room is too 
hot, too cold, or even that the audience is naked! Join the more than 
one million people who have witnessed Russ Burgess in action. Come to 
the *upper gym at CCHS at 7 p.m. on Saturday, December 3*, and be 
amazed! Tickets are $10 and will be sold at CCHS during lunch blocks the 
week of the show, and at the door. Proceeds benefit CCHS Class of 2007.

+++++* CLASS OF '09 AMARYLLIS AND CLOTHING SALE* +++++

On *Thursday, December 8*, when you come for teacher conferences, come 
prepared to do some holiday shopping. The Class of 2009 will be selling 
amaryllis bulbs ($15) and CCHS logo clothing (flannel pants - $20, tee 
shirts and muscle shirts - $10). The bulbs are the highest quality 
amaryllis plants, which are staged to bloom for the holidays and will 
make excellent holiday or hostess gifts. Please visit our sales booths, 
which will be located in the *CCHS hallways, from* *2 to 8 p.m.* on 
Conference Day. If you miss us on Conference Day, you may *email Laurie 
Cadigan at Laurie at Concordre.com for amaryllis bulbs or Cathy Galligan at

+++++* LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS* +++++

On December 9, 10, and 11, a man-eating plant invades CCHS in the 
musical comedy /Little Shop of Horrors/. Meek and mild Seymour is 
working in a flower shop when he discovers an exotic plant with an unusual
appetite and a diabolical secret. The plant grows fast--as does 
Seymour's love for his co-worker Audrey--and the "feed-me" frenzy 
begins. The lively music will keep everyone's toes tapping while this 
colorful comic-book world comes to life. Performances will be *Friday, 
December 9 and Saturday, December 10 at 7:30 p.m.*, and *Sunday, 
December 11, at 2:30 p.m.* *in the CCHS auditorium*. Ticket prices have 
changed. Tickets for senior
citizens and students under 18 are $10, tickets for adults are $15 and 
are available at ccpops.org and at the door. If you have already 
purchased tickets on line and bought tickets for a student or a senior 
citizen, the difference in cost will be refunded to you when you pick up 
your tickets. *Contact Erica Karban at musical at colonial.net for 
questions about tickets. Call 978-287-5031 for general information.*

+++++* CCPOPS HELP WANTED* +++++

Each year for the Spring Musical, CCPOPS produces a playbill with 
information about the show, personal ads placed by parents for students 
participating in the show, and ads from local businesses to support the 
program. This spring the musical is /Barnum/. CCPOPS needs volunteers to 
serve on the playbill ads committee.  The time frame for this is January 
and February, 2006. If you would like to help, *please contact Diane 
Payne at president at ccpops.org*. Thank you.

+++++* STUDENTS HELP WITH YOUR HELP* +++++

CCHS students are working with Volunteers of America to collect holiday 
gifts for residents of Hello House men's home and Rebound boy's home in 
Quincy. Large, black Champion hooded sweatshirts and gift certificates to
Marshall's have been requested. *Contact Ian Carr for details at
