Chattanooga Central History Archives Team (CCHAT) now believes Volume LXV published in School Year 1980 – 1981 was the last Volume published in hard-copy. Confirmation from those with knowledge about this will be greatly appreciated.
During our sorting of historical documents in the Library, we found an Issue 1 with September, 1981 date on Page 1 and a September, 1980 date printed on Page 4. It had Volume LXV on Page 1 as well. We now believe the September date was in error, an it was Issue 1 for School Year 1980 – 1981.
There is an article on Page 1 about Mr. Jolliffe assuming duties as Assistant Principal. The Champion 1981 indicates he assumed those duties at the beginning of School Year 1980 – 1981.
My issue of #1 from Volume 65 also has the erroneous date on Page 4.
I graduated in 1981, so I can’t add much about whether this was the last hardcopy edition, as Volume 65 is the last set I bought while at Central.
Great to hear from a voice in the wilderness. Really appreciate your response.
