p«« ■ 'This is how I blow bubbles, says Sherry Bass. What did you expect? Many of us, like senior Cindy Cutts, weren't sure what this year 1987 would bring to Chipley High School. What did 1 expect? Well I've been at Chipley High three years now so 1 should have been pretty sure of what this year would be like, but I wasn't. This year was different — the new principal, new teachers ... I wasn't sure of anything except I knew that 1987 at CHS would be my best year yet. 1987 was different all right. The year brought CHS a new principal, Phil Flater, four new teachers, and three foreign exchange students from Belgium, Mexico, and Norway. We spent our first weeks of school trying to find out what CHS would be like now that it was under Mr. Flater's direction, seeing just how much we could get away with in the new teachers' classes, and we began a year of sharing our way of life with the exchange students who in turn broadened our vision. As the school season wore on, however, we realized that al- though this year was distinct from years past, it still had the similarities that made every year at Chipley High the best year yet. Support, encouragement, pride, and determination turned 1987 into a great year ... WHAT DID YOU EXPECT? What did I expect?

Mr. Collins, I still don't understand this physics, says Eddie Fredricksson.

CHS Seniors are expecting a victory! So how was that humanities test, Cindy? THE 5EST ... We supported our athletic de- partment which this year brought us an exciting sports season. Through pep rallies, spirit days, and a lot of enthusiasm we helped our guys and girls win game after game and we became more one than won. Through our encouragement, we saw the clubs at CHS become more active. We worked together and were always willing to lend a hand and as a result we made our school and com- munity shine. One example of the many great things CHS's clubs ac- complished was the acquiring of the new flag pole for the front of the school by the Key Club. It was dedi- cated to all Chipley High School stu- dents who served in the U.S. Armed Forces. Our pride was reflected in our aca- demic achievements as Chipley High was once again selected as a Florida Meritorious School. More students than ever became involved in the dual enrollment program, and we proved that we could handle homework and still remain active in athletics and clubs and sometimes even hold a job on the side. The thing that really made 1987 terrific was our determination. This school year brought many new faces to CHS and along with them came changes, but we adapted and we grew academically and socially. We learned to take a new look at the world through the eyes of the ex- YEAR YET! change students and even a better look at ourselves. As exchange stu- dent Murielle De Donker said. The CHS students are very social people and by their interesting and positive attitude, they made me feel very com- fortable in a very short time. The school system here is totally different from ours. It gives the student a prep- aration for college and a basic educa- tion, but in the meantime, they orga- nize social activities like clubs, football games . . . They give you the opportunity to get to know the peo- ple better and you become really good friends. It's a very fun school to at- tend.-' What did you expect? That's what made 1987 the best year yet.
