Text from Pages 1 - 348 of the 1973 volume:

my world is a maze, a puzzle where each piece is different yet each seems to fit. and each piece—a bond which does its part to keep the puzzle from crum- ble- ing. my piece (myself) infinitely small in so vast a puzzle. f only— i cannot, will not fit- because— to fit, a piece must not be warped, and i am a fragmentary piece, incomplete within myself too weak to bind, i am confused, i tried to fill it with raggedy ann dolls, with wagons and bears. that helped for a time- then i was six. at twelve i grew too old to hold my dog . . . the loneliness set in. and i was sixteen and it stayed, and at eighteen it remained; i told myself it was the place, the people, staleness— stifling. i needed then a fresher place away from all the narrow things the ignorance, the boredom, restrictions by the blind, my insides were rotting with emptiness- burning then to go. i dreamed of ways to travel and i traveled country roads thinking each way would free my mind- make my dreams reality. i walked the beaches took what came— eager at first to have the world take a fragment, make me whole . . . i found the roads were leading to . . . • .v'.aj 1 end all dead ends. i’ve searched in California now i’ve searched in little bars i’ve searched deserted beaches, god . . . i’ve search in dirty cars. all these roads lead nowhere, man, it's been a drag so long; the ashtrays runneth over, man. where have i gone wrong? i realized— i’d traveled, searched, but hadn’t found, in all my running from myself, a person place or thing to clear the muddle of a messed up mind, i hadn’t made the puzzle strong; i knew i should retrace— go back— to find myself in me. and slowly it came . . . there is a peace, a strength, that comes in quietness a quietness of more than sounds— a quietness of soul, i quit running, stopped. knew who i was. reached out, knowing . . . i was a small but necessary piece of a larger whole. i could interact so as to fit without compromising my own unique shape. remembering that without my piece. the puzzle was incomplete. quietly, i learned my worth. the gap was filled, but from within. and not a conscious effort, now— this reaching out; i realize i’m slipping into place. i went through much on my way out of myself into my world: some pleasant, some unpleasant, most remembered. most recorded here . . . myself, my school . . . book 1

the peace which passeth understanding, i want the understanding which bringeth peace.” —helen keller courses vary to student’s needs high school is a learning process in which we prepare to join the community and be accepted into the world. choctawhatchee’s curricu- lum forms the basis for setting our goals. excellent vocational pro- grams are offered for those students who are interested in obtaining financial security within the community as op- posed to the college level pro- gram which helps students prepare to accept the chal- lenges posed by the ever- changing world. top pat whitney

board,” remarked mr. erwin fleet at the november board meeting, members make contracts, set policies, and se- cure personnel for county schools during the year. not only choctaw’s growth, but also growth in educational facilities throughout the county results from efforts of school board members, led by newly re-elected chairwoman, mrs. anne mitchell. i % above joe etheredge listens intently

choctaw comes of age, keeping the prestige of 1 since choctaw was born 21 years ago, she has sought a po- sition of being number one in everything, responsible for many changes and much of the progress at choctaw- hatchee is principal h.a. bru- ner. wise in the way of estab- lishing smoothly running systems, mr. bruner believes education, not trivia, merits our foremost attention. helping mr. bruner is mr. bruce criswell, vice-principal in charge of scheduling, com- putor programming, attend- ance, discipline, and parent- student-school relations. a very busy man around is vice-principal george nied. mr. nied takes care of book dis- tribution, ticket sales, trans- portation, discipline, and lunchroom supervision. students needing a tardy pass see the pleasant face of the dean of women, mrs. elaine dark, she helps to check attendance and keeps up with tardies so that the punishment brings improved promptness, other duties in- clude involvement with dress codes, parent conferences, the faculty tea, withdrawals, and community relations. left students frequently must find mrs. elaine dark to buy school sup- plies for their next classes, top left mr. bruce

secretary, keeps a file for each faculty member, puchases supplies, rings bells, and does the million other little things that keep the office running smoothly. mrs. rae barton, mrs. nita Stephens, and mrs. ida buchan have the tiresome but often amusing job of keeping stu- dent attendance records, and mrs. nancy bledsoe keeps the books for clubs and general funding, for a requisition or a dollar bill, she’s the lady with the money. rounding out the staff is the person who eases all our aches and pains, nurse joan maki. how would we get out of class without her? top students checking in and out of school during noon rush hours fre- quently find mrs. rae barton drink- ing her lunch between phone calls, center right keeping mr. h.a. brun- ner’s days straight, mrs. ila dudley schedules his

mr. john gordon, 12th grade counselor. guidance assists students with any problems they wish to talk over, confident and trusting relationships grow be- tween counselors and students while the student goes from his sophomore to senior year, counselors also speak with parents and teachers as well as related outside influences, mrs. jewel pierce aids juniors, and mrs. doris peterson helps sophomores. new this year is mrs. betty harrison, our occupational specialist, mrs. harrison helps students get jobs and remain in touch with the school sys- tem here. mrs. jean grooms in guid- ance keeps

librarian, mrs. joy maudlin, in reference to the library assist- ants. assistants arrange dis- play windows, process books and help students with all their difficulties in the library. the library offers students a variety of material, including over 130 different magazines and newspapers and audio visual material needed in the classes, the library committee, which is composed of six teachers and two students, suggests needed books and magazines for the library to purchase. top dale mcnamara discovers the usefulness of the card catalog, left the magazine section captures kay waddell's

quiet, right jay gonta- rek finds it is simpler to keep up, if he follows discussions in the book. english teachers are using a different method to teach reading skills, a projector-like machine helps increase stu- dent reading capacities, a con- trolled reader and reader’s di- gest combine to form pro- grams that flash stories on a screen and allow a student to read without trouble. “it increases speed without loss of comprehension,” says mrs. sarah davis, head of the english department, songwriting is one project in mrs. julia hammet’s creative writing classes, many activ- ities such as composing words and music to original songs help students learn to express themselves. some of the other classes, like mass media, also stress “creativity” by students, mrs. randi friese supervises stu- dents’ “film-making.” so who knows—choctaw could be pro- ducing 1984’s authors, stars and directors—thanks to our innovative english staff. 28 english frances bennett bill benson .american lit.,

dian cagers won their district title contest having a winning season for their first time in ten years. the spring sports, full of in- dian pride, spirit, and determi- nation, promised choctaw more titles and champion- ships. the swim team, in its first year at choctaw, boasted many top area swimmers. indian pride continued in a time of general apathy be- cause of an intergration, bind- ing

end zone; the final score, 13-8, marked the end of a bad beginning for the tribe. with 1:39 remaining in the contest, townsel’s tribe hit paydirt for the first time, don vanderhoek’s recovery of a bay fumble at the tornadoes 16-yard line gave choctaw the touchdown chance. southpaw quarterback paul houy wasted little time, imme- diacy introducing a 13-yard pass to rusty scalberg. with first and goal to go at the three, the indians were stopped on three consecutive plays, offensive back david jenkins proceded to skirt around left end, scoring un- touched by bay’s defenders, once more, houy pitched out to jenkins for the extra two points and the lead. choctaw defense calmed the tornadoes’ air attack, allowing them two completions in six attempts, and recovering three bay fumbles. bottom left

usual, and they just don’t make the kind of mis- takes that hurt them.” “the whole key to our vic- tory was the job our defense did in stopping tiger tailback robert morgan and pensacola’s offense,” said head indian coach wyman townsel. six points for choctaw lit up the scoreboard with only 8:01 left in the first quarter, david jenkins ran the 64 yards to the goal line. after allowing the tigers to accumulate 14 points, the tri- bal offensive powers once again sent jenkins into the end zone, the two-point con- version failed, but the indians were within two points of pensacola: 14-12. after receiving a punt on the tiger 36 and building a relent- less drive, the green and white sent jenkins back into the end zone, don vanderhoek’s pat gave the team a winning 19-14 lead. top junior

fumbles. senior don vanderhoek added six points to the indian cause with three pat’s and a 23-yard field goal which was the only score of the second half as the defense of both teams stiffened.
