Homecoming dance, Talent Show, YAC kept school student governmentactive throughoutthe entire year. Under the leadership of Amy Autry and her officers, the 74 student council members set about the difficult tasks with spirit and enthusiasm. For the first time, Student Council officers were elected at the end of the previous year, the only exception being historian. This gave the officers three months to plan through the year. A change brought into policy was class president reports at every meeting. After school started and the 64 homeroom representatives were elected, a massive constitution revision employing stricter attendance laws went into effect. Besides the major proj- ects, the council undertook several minor projects such as class elections, cartoon features at the Christmas Car- nival, Shrine Fair Ambassador, and paper back book round-up for the Eng- lish department.

A Fort Walton Beach civic organiza- tion, the Rotary Club, gave Interact its charter. From this start 29 young men have carried out the theme by providing buses to out of town football games, selling Choctaw T-shirts and license plate tags, sponsoring intramural bas- ketball games, and planting trees in a local cemetery on Arbor Day. According to Steve Albright, pres- ident, the club was much closer knit than in previous years, a goal set in the fall. He felt that each of the club members had willingly taken on more responsibil- ity and learned how to work successfully with one another. The role of the male service club at Choctaw has changed and become more integral and benefi- cial to the system. 5 Zyl' ,g5 ,: :m..wi' vie:-' ' , 'wi 'f '11 , if :algae V - ., ff?

Under the leadership of president Gwen Geisen, the Keyettes participated not only in sign paintings, new member teas, and selling Homecoming garters, but also in numerous other activities. Two of Keyette's special activities were selecting Teacher of the Month each month and honoring the teachers on their birthdays. Members signed up each month to bring something to one of these teachers. The recognition was greatly appreciated. The club year ended with a banquet at the Hawaiki where the club members were com- mended on a job well done.

Under the slogan You don't tinker around with Key Club, many unfortunate new members endured questioning glances to become an official member. The club participated in activities such as having a booth in the Hi-Y, Tri- Hi-Y Christmas Carnival, a Billy Bowlegs Car Park, and wood cuts. Key Club also held joint activities with Keyettes, their sister club, such as going to church, building a Homecoming float, and plant- ing trees around the school.

Science Honor, a brand new club at CHS, worked very hard this year for their place in our school. Although they had the pressures of being a new club, such as trying to get members, they seemed to overcome it very well. Activities included a picnic at Timber Lake, football with Octagon, and a dinner at the end of the year at a member's home. Their two money- making projects were a book sale and a booth at the Science Fair. Mu Alpha Theta also worked hard this year at trying to raise membership and do more interesting things. They went on two field trips this year to Okaloosa Walton Junior College and the Eglin Federal Credit Union. On both trips they observed computers and listened to lectures. Other activities included a garage sale which made enough money to use during the whole year. As in years be- fore, they sponsored a math team which did very well in state competition at An- dalusia and they sponsored the national math test that was offered to all students at CHS.

Honor Art was kept very active this year. Mem- bers painted the gym floor, painted foot- ball run-throughs, decorated baseball helmets, made dating game props and club t-shirts. German Honor members worked very hard at raising money for transpor- tation to the state convention in Boco Raton. They sold class pins and gummi bears to raise the money. At the convention, which was held in April, the CHS German Honor club did well. They came home with superior rat- ings and honors. 94 l HONOR ART TOP CENTER: German Honor secretary Janet Starkel takes the minutes at a German Honor club meeting.

The two day trip saw the Style- Marchers ice-skating, strolling down Bourbon Street, and marching before some 50,000 fans in the one year old Super Dome. When the band made their ap- pearance at Choctaw's first home foot- ball game, they had taken on a new look. Brightly colored banner flags sported the new title - Showband of the South . Herald trumpets announced the Style-Marchers as they prepared for the traditional snake walk', into the stands. Many fans were aware of a new sound as disco mania spread to the band's music. Improved cross-town relations was the idea behind a joint half-time show planned with Fort Walton Beach High School. Band members, as well as fans, were disappointed when the show was cancelled due to heavy rain during the game.

STYLE MARCHERS l 99 Many changes provided band extra units wi improved look W l during the 1976 marching season. The most noticeable change was the new, Indian-style uniforms worn by the flag and rifle corps. The uniforms, which were white with yellow trim and green fringe, made the extra units appear much more colorful on the field. This year the flag corps was di- vided into two sections - the flash flags and the banner flags. The flash flags performed marching and twirling routines while the main purpose of the banners was to display the band's logo. Hard practice sessions began during the summer with a two day clinic followed by practices held five days a week. Starting in mid-July the extra units began working with the band two nights a week - a ritual that would continue until early December. T All the late-night practices paid T off when the extra units returned from T the Troy State University marching con- test with superior ratings.

Following the show in the King Hanger, the Jazz Ensemble served as guest band at a jazz festival at the University of South- western Louisiana. They were featured in a performance with Don Ellis. The Stage Band, under the direc- tion of Charlie Sills, provided entertain- ment at the Hee Haw Show and joined with the Jazz Ensemble for a concert. The concert season began with a Christmas concert combining the sym- phonic and concert bands with the chorus. During the year the bands pro- vided two more concerts. One was a di- nner followed by a concert and the other was the annual year-end concert. At the latter, selected seniors directed the band. Early in May, the band traveled to State Contest in Jacksonville Beach where the symphonic band recieved su- perior ratings and the concert band re- ceived excellent ratings.

The Choctaw Madrigals per- formed at many of the pep rallies during the beginning of the year. On one spe- cial day, they chose to walk around as they sang and pass out You Are My Friendt' buttons to the crowd. This had a very heartwarming effect on all who were present. Under the direction of Mrs. Jenny Jordan, the Madrigals have once again proved their talent can be used in a be- neficial way. The Madrigals performed at both community and school functions by popular demand. After a superior rating at District festival, the Madrigals, along with the other choruses, traveled to State con- test in Gainesville, Florida. 104 l IVIADRIGALS TOP RIGHT: Students feel the spirit of Christmas as they listen intently to the Mad- rigals who take them around the world sing- ing The Jingle Bell Travelogue.

They developed their sight reading skills, learned how to blend with a group, and studied music theory in depth. Ensemble, offered to those stu- dents wishing to improve themselves, emphasized solo work in both legitimate and pop music. As a non-performing group, they basically did individual w0rk. The mixed and girIs'choruses had as their objective presenting four con- certs. Practice was not limited to school hours, but encompassed numerous mid-afternoon and night sessions. All of which culminated in performances.

CHORUS I 107 First-year Choctaw director led choral group to each state competition after successfully complet- ing District Contest with superior rat- ings.

It doesnlt matter if they play football or baseball, bas- ketball or golf, wrestle or rung they are totally dedicated to their team. Sometimes the reasons for dedica- tion were not always clear, but they stayed with the team, the practice, and the coach. Winning has always been Choctaw's style, so most of the time defeat was what happened to the other team. However, when de- feat claimed the team, they took it in stride, learned from their mis- takes, and above all proved that they were number one. THEY MADE UP SPORTS.

This year, as be- fore, the team had to travel south to Gainesville, Tallahassee, and Cypress Gardens to find more competition than that which could be provided locally. Adding a girl's team for the first year ever proved to be beneficial.

It takes endless effort and discipline. Who can actually say they like getting up at five and six in the morning just to wear out a pair of shoes? Our own team, under the leader- ship of Coach Westbrook, made fine showings wherever they went. At its second Annual Cross-Country Invita- tional, they captured top honors with very little trouble. Looking back over the year, Cross-Country was one of the more successful sports, capturing state and national honors. The boy's team lost only to number one Largo, and the girls lost to Leon and Niceville. Members of the team look forward to next year for yet another chance at state. nnmnwmm Mtasu ,W we ...grams ..

Except for parents, cheerlead- ers, and an occasional cheering section, the stands were empty. Although the cheerleaders did what they could, the games went unattended. Under the coaching leadership of Olsen and Pummer, the junior squad went to a 5-3 season record. After get- ting a late start on practice, the first order of business was organization. With key players like Risher, Bolt, Clin- kingbeard, Dragger, and Cunningham, it was readily obtained and the young team prepared for grid play. Unlike last year's team, this year the junior varsity played many games under the lights, which will hopefully prepare them to be well-adjusted varsity players. Of course, J. V. players didn't have the prestige of glamour, but cer- tainly the same amount of work, pleas- ure and challenge. issfswfmss Q :Qs iss?stwetswss-if-Yw:: 'RssmwsmmsSsssRem ' ' mimatsssfwsixiisfsmssmrsaftsm- TOP RIGHT: As the referee signals a first down, the iunior varsity squad gets into for- mation.

The Choctaw J.V. football team made an ex- cellent showing throughout the year. With the true support of some faithful supporters, the team opened up with a big win over Niceville. Continuing to roll, they won three more games against Bay, Ft. Walton, and Rutherford. In their second confrontation with Niceville, the Indians lost a well played game. Follow- ing a Gulf Breeze forfeit, the junior In- dians won their game against Milton narrowly. Then in the last game of the season, against the Vikings, the J.V. squad lost a very hard fought game, in what seemed to be premonition of the Varsity game the next night. Consider- ing everything the J.V. squad had a very good year. TOP RIGHT: Sideline huddles help the team become reorganized and give the coaches time to plan the strategy and go over the new plays.

S. 5 l and keeping with tradition of the past the Big Green won yet another season opener. Playing Pensacola High in the 76-77 season opener turned out much different than last year's 1-0 defeat. Dale Waldorff and the Big Green offense marched across the goal line several times. This, and a number four state ranking contributed to many thoughts of a state championship. Pensacola's only score came late in the game with a touchback, as the Tigers caught the In- dians off guard and tagged the ballinthe end zone. The final score was in favor of Choctaw, 43-2. The next game seemed to change things as the Tallahassee Godby team toppled the Indians with a 17-13 win. The lndians,seeking revenge, went on towin as its next five games. , ,, . ,,..,,, , ,-,,,,,,.,,,:mmwwmm M tw M MW .W --mu., .,...

FOOTBALL X 1 21 Indians drop Eagles, boot Patriots, as they gain revenge in the week after losing to Godby. The Tribe was looking for a win. Unfortu- nately for the Eagles of Niceville, they were the object of revenge. As in the preceding years, Niceville had trouble getting the ball into Indian turf. Unlike their opponents, Choctaw wasn't plaqued by such problems and before it was over, the Indians had beaten the Eagles with yet another shutout. The Indians' next conquest was against Escambia's Patriots. The game was a defensive see-saw battle with both sides holding tight. The only score came at the end of the second quarter off the toe of place kicker Bruce Ciem- neckig to post yet another shutout. TOP CENTER: Senior Bruce Ciemineckl goes for the extra point attempt against Woodham. Bruce contributed greatly to the team and made up for the injured Johanny Pappas.

Another shutout was in store, as the Big Green defense refused to give. Remembering the 44-0 win over the Rams at Homecoming last year, The ln- dian -offense had a field day and raised its season mark to 4-1 as it beat the Rams 34-0. Pensacola Woodham visited Memorial stadium the next week with hopes of upsetting the Tribe. lt was the only threat given to the tribe since the Godby mishap. Scoring six points seemed quite an accomplishment as the defense allowed the only opponent score in five weeks. Once again the Choctawhatchee offense prevailed.

The Indians showed no mercy as from the crowded stadium bleachers fans watched with delight. Warming their hands from the chill in the air, they spurred the Indians on to victory. During the halftime ceremonies the Style Marchers performed another great show, much to the pleasure ofthe crowd. A look at the score board showed the Indians well ahead: 55-0.

This would be the last time the Indians would play the Leon Lions, so what better farewell present than a 41-0 victory, as the Indians raised their record to 7-2. The next week was The Game - 76 as the Choctaw Indians squared off against the Ft. Walton Beach Vikings. During a week of crazy dress and funny hats, it all came down to the kick of a ball at eight o'cIock on one Friday night. On a rain soaked field the Indians took the lead early in the game with an over the middle score, but missed that all impor- tant field goal, which proved to be unfor- tunate as Ft. Walton was able to score later and make theirs. TOP RIGHT: As the score board can plainly show, the Choctaw Indians thoroughly beat the Leon Lions early in the third quarter. The Indians won 41-0 at their Homecoming. BOTTOM RIGHT: Ch octa w's defensive squad goes wild and congratulates Randy Sansom as he recovers a fumble and returns it for a touchdown against Leon.

Under the leadership of Coach Pummer, Choctaw's first wrestling team proved, as always, that the Indians were number one! With a season record of 12-3, Choctaw wrestlers surprised op- ponents as their young team defeated one challenge after another. Winning their first three matches, Choctaw suffered its first defeat from Niceville, who were to pin the Indians later in the season. The Indians lost again to Mosely but went on to win the remaining eight matches, all by very wide margins.

Between them they hauled down 20 rebounds per game. These five devastated county op- ponents as CHS led in scoring, rebound- ing and floor percentage shooting.

VARSITY BASKETBALL I 137 Rivalry '77 5 CHS two victories, Fort Walton Vikings-one, was the final outcome of the traditional clashes between the Fort Walton Beach and Choctaw basketball teams. The first match-up was staged on January 4th at CHS. Led by Joel Fiser and Terry Webster, the Indians, after fal- ling behind in the third quarter, rallied in the fourth and came back to trounce the Vikings 67-54. In game two, played at the Viking court, the Indians fell behind late and never recovered. Final score, FWB 59, CHS 51. This stalemate set the stage for the season finale played in the District Tournament held at FWB. The third and final FWB-CHS game was more than a grudge match. The winner of the game was to move on to the finals against Leon. Led by Webs- ter's 33 points, CHS beat FWB 72-59. 251 25 LEM, W Q TOP RIGHT: The weave, part of Choctaw's pre game warm-up exercises, helps loosen up the players and improve agility.

The Indians took their second Big Five Championship in three years as they posted a 7-1 won-lost rec- ord in Conference play. The Big Green posted two victories each over Confer- ence rivals Godby, Mosley, and Ruther- ford. Their only Ioss was suffered at the hands of a tough Leon team and CHS later come back to defeat the Lions twice, once in Conference and once in Tournament play. The big turnaround for the Indians came in a Holiday Tournament played in Clearwater, Florida. While CHS won only one game and lost two, the players re- ceived the valuable experience that car- ried them a 21-10 mark and Conference and District Championships.

CENTER LEFT: The Jets stretch their legs dur- ing a time out after along spell on the bench. This may be the most action they'll see in many games. CENTER: At five feet six inches, the littlest Jet of them all, Robert Bond, gets a once-in-a- lifetime thrill: a slam dunk, with the help of two big men. 142 I VARSITY BASKETBALL The Jets Last in our athletxc programs, and first in our hearts these fellows provided inspiration to all of us who ever spent a season watching instead of playing. The Jets earned their nickname last year as the Big Green suf- fered a dismal 7-21 seasonal mark. While the team rebounded splendidly to a 21-10 record, the five third string players spent yet another year on the bench. Returning to their seats this year were four of last seasons' players, Seniors Bond, Dickey, Dunmyer, and Schroeder. These four men logged more hours sitting down in two years than most athletes do in a lifetime. Junior George Hambleton roundedout the Jets, a dubi- ous distinction perhaps. For enduring your hardships, gentlemen, we salute you. TOP LEFT: A time-out brings the Jets to their feet as Coach Gabbard lays down some strategy. Coach Gabbard led the Indians to 21 wins in the 1976-77 season. TOP RIGHT: The Jets of 1977 are Seniors R. Bond, J. Dunmyer, J. Dickey, and Junior G. Hambleton. Here they chew their nails fear- ing the worst: playing time. BOTTOM LEFT: Big M , Marcus Montgom- ery, rams one home against the Vikings.

They were runner up to our varsity squad for the Regional Award and they shared in the Spirit Megaphone award. Mrs. Hamilton, also the j.v. spon- sor, says that this years' squad differs from last years because, They are more skilled in tumbling and they were so tremendous at camp! Along with all the new respon- sibilities of being a high school cheer- leader, the j.v. squad must practice con- stantly to perfect its routines. Fake pep rallies were held every Wednesday be- fore they headed for camp. Everyone was invited to the rallies including spe- cial guests.

JV CHEERLEADERS 1145 Taking part in ORO brought deeper student understanding between our cheerleaders and other elements of the student body. Reaching out was important to the cheerleaders and this year they seemed to do it more than ever with the help of Operation Reach Out. t This past summer our varsity cheerleaders attended the Golden Eagle Cheerleading School. They won the Regional Award for the best all around and the Spirit Megaphone for all around spirit. Nanci Bullock, Terri Bur- nett, Patti Smith, Michelle Furmage, and Faith Bergman received applications that enabled them to teach cheers. The girls ,vrr have taken on more re- sponsibilities this year including sup- porting girls' athletics, wrestling, and all spring sports. They considered their most important project to be participa- ting in Operation Reach Out. They even started their own ORO at their summer cheerleading camp. Mrs. Hamilton, their sponsor, felt that student creativity was fantastic.

Kristine Heiny was awarded a superstar trophy, while Renee Hollarn and Tracey Mankowich received special ribbons. The tribe also came home with the sweepstakes award for the best overall squad. A combina- tion of cooperation, school spirit, and a huge amount of hard work made the ln- dianettes a number one squad. The tribe was extremely active this year.

Two veteran basketball mentors, Coaches Gabbard and Cren- shaw, took over the coaching duties and led the girls to a 6-3 seasonal mark. The Choctaw ladies were stopped short in the Championship Tournament in a tough overtime loss to Rutherford. As the talents of the girls gained notice, students turned out in large numbers to support their play. Longtime sponsor Miss Jackson credited the team with a great deal of enthusiasm and praised the student support. The girls' prospects appear bright- erthan ever for next year as only two players will be graduating. 335911 fssgiisggtiis2fSiEei?A2f.52i55gffe2g,Pi?4sf152sv3?fi1 ... , ,gjxgq-fxxr .1 wifissggw , 1 1-Q: fzsifff Pu, Tlkkkgggiyiik- mfs.. it 5 2 ax 1 gin, K . --,ti sts 1 5 V21 1 E sspmevsss 1 .. -::::5Q'Dr .I EX 555 a n xxx.

GIRLS' SPORTS I 151 Clxoctawlxatclxee girls' softball team closed a great season with a superb record of sweeping vic- tories and few losses. Under the great handicap of old uniforms, handed down equipment, school apathy, and lack of financial support, the girls' softball members, nevertheless, played with such gusto and fire that few could shrug off the honor and respect the team brought to Choctawhatchee. Beneath the expert and experienced counseling of Coach Crenshaw, the girls propelled themselves to a district wide recogni- tion, molding a number of talented ballplayers into a finely tuned machine. At the close of the season, hope for the I next year was sparked by the Student i 5 CounciI's consideration of donating money for the girls' new uniforms. M 1 FRONT ROW: Babs Fincher, Mary Cooper, Becky Vance, Vickie Cummings, Tamie Davis, Penny Pinkerton, Sheryle Burger. Cathy Tallent. BACK ROW: Coach Crenshaw, Suzette Johns, Becky Kanter, Cheryl Richards, Monica Muro, Lynn Palkowski, Julie Smoak, Cathy Raines, Janet Campbell. These young ladies made up the 1976-77 girls' softball team. TOP LEFT: Preparing to take the positions that they have played for long hours in prac- tice, the girls jog out onto the field at the beginning of a new inning. BOTTOM CENTER: Batting is a very impor- tant part of softball and Vickie Cummings helped the team hold a high average with her sharp eyes and powerful swing. 152 I GIRLS' SOFTBALL Sag ,if -1, ,, Q, ., ,f9,M.t,,:f-5,537-r,3, -- si ghK5?ifQ,7b,, 'Im-11: 2, ,QM my .qwff M111 ,jgtw ,, ,fi5glei'?i?'?L ,, '1-:iw-Yi ,, H ffz ssii,11e2-21fi'f- sff.,'.N3f , ,- 111--.1,:.,,t,,,fz,gf,wi,'Q Mg1,M: is tm,if-2:51,-v1,,-,,mf 3, .-2,--,1tp,,M - as-,Q,f,,fft-ft,-3,--1114, . fw ,111 ff- -11311112-s1w,:1G, ft.,-L--f-f W, .1 M ,Mm ,.f,,f1.- -,W .,w,,t,,.ww mga. ,g1 'iM.,,q,11 Q5,gw,,1m,,i'1 ' -,4Q1gg'2'1n,..f M ..-gf-gmgazgg t..f4fgg,g9,,t,D f, H,,M,,.,,:,,w 1e,, ,ff 1fm::,11 An infix Shih? .Q ', WESPEJQ, I ,-' I 1471 L' K LW, ,-W:-7'Sl?,l5vf'f1 1wz.11' 1 mt, fbigL,M,LffQs?f,swf11 Aims: M ,Ii ' pm, rf, ,,,i,,r 11.1,ggf,gg,M,.,ffL,21,,1 Q., mt,--w 1wz,1Q27if', 'fi:Q2,.1e1.pf1- 11 W ,wwf':,f1tw,1f,,1a,'4,2?4,' 1 ,,,.V, mt- M' ,-v,,: .,,1,,,,, , ,, ,, ,- 1t,,tt,f,,,,fq,,1,Mtq,.5,. -,,,.1.,,,1,,..t U- f- ,.t,..,,t,, W, . s4fff1zi2egI'WLi,im1m1,11,1 ,ff-,,t M 1Sf1wM,11,::111g1,,. ,- awwtwwwfiefrt, ft.

The Choctaw boy's and girl's tennis teams proved again to be a formidable oppo- nent on the local as well as district and state level. Practicing after school and on weekends on local and private courts, the teams played, at least two hours a day to be in top shape when challenged by opponents. Although they play for the school team, many players competed in local tournaments as well. Some who are ranked highly were Skip Singleton , Julie Grimmig, Lisa Long, Chuck Joyner, Teri Burnett, and Mimi Johnson. TOP CENTER: Sophomore Kathy Lucas practices her backhand as fellow team members look on. Having to move the ball around, the backhand can be a handy manuever.

However, in the match that laid it on the line, Choc- taw boys came out on top and went on to represent the district in state competi- tion. The girls team had an outstanding season led by Julie Grimmig, Teri Bur- nett and Mimi Johnson, but were unable to beat the regular season champions, Leon, in the tournament. Other team members Lisa Long and Carol Grimmig, will return next year to keep the tradition of Choctaw going strong. TOP CENTER: Practice, practice and more practice.

Choc- taw golfers ran up an unmatched scorecard against opponents from all over Northwest Florida with a final sea- son mark of 62 wins, seven defeats, and one tie. To cap off the finest season Choctaw has ever had, the Indians set the record for lowest team total over nine holes with 144 strokes. Choctaw equalled that record once more during the course of the golf season. On an individual basis, CHS also did well, as team captain Mark Stillings earned a trip to the state tournament.

Walton. Welcoming back a boys' team com- posed mainly of veteran junior and senior swimmers, the co-captains Craig Hanson and Darby Chastain led them to their third straight year without a loss and another District championship. The girls, though, lost many of their top point getters last year, and it was a young and inexperienced team that was left to defend the Choctaw girls' team's distinguished record.

SWIMMING AND DIVING l165 Choctaw Baseball lacking only consistency, the slugging Boys of Summer reached a 12-6 mark after a rocky, rainshortened season. A CHS trademark this past season was their ability to playwell inconsist- ently. Choctaw was at its best against some of the state's top competition, knocking off last years champ Tate 4-1 and beating top ranked Leon 2-0. How- ever, the Indians fell to such non- powerhouses as Pine Forest, Godby, and twice to Rutherford. Choctaw's plate attack was headed by Bob Cilek at .310, Bob Le- mons .295, and Renz Nichols .292. Cen- ter fielder Mike Llewellyn rapped out three homeruns while Cilek, Fell, Le- mons, Frost, and Dale Willie Waldorff blasted one each. Working off the mound were Mike Blanchard, Keith Dawkins, David Fell, and Kevin Rea. These four combined for an earned run average of less than three runs per game, a phenomenal figure for high school pitchers. 166 l BASEBALL TOP RIGHT: Catcher Bob Cilek was the only .300 hitter last season, ripping the ball at a .310 pace. His abilities with the bat over- shadowed his fine defensive play. CENTER LEFT: David Fell was a stalwart in- fielder for CHS during the '77 season. Com- mitting only one error all season, Fell also hit one homerun and five doubles. CENTER: Randy Sansom, pinch runner ex- traordinaire, came off the bench to steal ten bases and score a couple of game winning runs as a part-time player in '77. TOP LEFT: Dale Waldorff, team captain, led the team only in calisthenics and ondeck performance. He did manage to hit a home- run though as CHS beat Niceville 6-3.

Mike smashed three home runs to lead the Indians, and he also led in runs and stolen bases. 168 I BASEBALL Pop rated Lions, state champs Tate victims of hignfiaing Indians as Choctaw showed they could play with the best of them. CHS took on the role of giant-killer early in the young season with a stunning 2-1 defeat of the Leon Lions on March 1st. Leon later took the top spot in the state baseball poll. To top off one of the finest baseball seasons in CHS history, the '77 Indians beat reigning state champ Tate High School in one of the finest games ever played in this area. Mike Blanchard pitched two-hit baseball, mixing his curve and knuckleball to baffle the Aggie hitters. Bob Lemons blasted a 3-0 pitch for a home run to ice the 4-1 victory for the Indians. mfg K 312575 3'Egf0Vgn 'X-ai5,SQ5ryf3,.

It came as another honor and reward when five Choctaw Track and Field team members qualified for the State meet. There, they deepened the state's already great re- spect for Choctaw by showing good sportsmanship, politeness, and most importantly, talent.

Unfortunately, few of us took ad- vantage of the Guidance department and Occupational and Placement Pro- gram. Each class had one counselor and one specialist strictly to help students. Despite the paperwork - schedule changes, stacks of job appli- cations - they preferred to aid indi- vidual students. Guidance workers counseled students on academic and personal problems, especially college- bound seniors. Occupational specialists worked directly with those who were in- terested in jobs or vocational training. For seniors who had finished their required courses and had little motiva- tion for academic work, there was the Job Entry Program. Headed by Mr. Wal- lon of the administrative staff, it awarded credits toward graduation for hours of work at an outside job.

Front office women keep school going From 7 a.m. until 2:30 p.m., we had nine hard-working women at our school. The six secretaries had unbelievably confusing jobs. They did everything from answering the phone while typing a letter that Mr. Brown needed in five minutes to looking for students' disci- pline records and they called in all those neat substitutes we had. Those working women strived all year long to be much more efficient. The aides who helped them were needed and saved a lot of time. The librarians were here early in the mornings to keep the library in oper- ation for the students. To help save time for the students, they put in a copying machine. To make it easy for the stu- dents, the librarians set aside Tuesdays for the day books were to be returned. The librarians also stocked many more books for the students, use.

LIBRARIANS X 181 Hard work is often unnoticed The majority of students seemed to take two of the most important, hardworking departments at Choctaw for granted. Many students didn't realize all the work that went into making lunch for everyone in the school, or clean- ing up after thoughtless litterers. The Iunchroom and maintenance workers put in long hours so that the students could have the best learning conditions and atmosphere. Mrs. Williamson, head of the Iunchroom staff, felt that their primary concern was to serve the students. Th ey also sponsored the new YAC Organiza- tion. This group of students helped the staff communicate and get the average student's ideas on the lunch program that had been in effect. Mr. Rossi was head of the mainte- nance department. This department was what kept the school in good, clean working order. However, many hours of work were often unnoticed by students.

Department has largest selection English: Why three years of it? Because over the years the administra- tion has found that many students were lacking in one of the most important areas of learning. Knowing and using good English were two aspects essen- tial to the learning of all subjects. It was one area necessary in every day life, and in any career. The largest department at Choc- taw was the English department. It had a selection of courses to fit the interests of the science fiction buff to the creative writers. Many students found grammar a very helpful course for college. Speech, drama, and mass media were also courses which catered to the students' individual interests.

In Mrs. AImond's math classes, students sang their way to better knowledge. All learning was easy with a simple rhythm to follow. ln the other math classes, con- sumer education was the big thing. Stu- dents learned to solve problems of everyday living, like how not to cheat on their income taxes! A lot of visual aids were used in teaching along with Mr. Howard's good buddy - colored chalk. Students who had more than one year of math could have gone on to Clep out math from their first year of college. A test was taken towards the end of the school year and those students who passed the math part of the test did not have to take the Freshman math in col- lege. This saved a lot of time and money for some students. TOP LEFT: Roy Vachon attempts to work a math problem. If he can remember his trig. songs, he can do it.

I Labwork welcome change Many students have taken advan- tage of Choctaw's excellent science de- partment. For the student interested in a certain area of the science field, there were advanced courses such as Biology II or Marine Science. For the students interested in a varied background for college, human anatomy, botany, zool- ogy, or Physical Science I were offered. A new course, Physical Science II was also introduced as a follow up to Physi- cal Science I. Each teacher had compiled his own methods of teaching, however, lab work seemed to be important to all. This gave the students the chance to dis- cover and learn on their own. Many people felt this was a big factor in the department's continued success. TOP LEFT: Ms. Shaneris only one of the competent teachers in the science department. She instructs students in the area of Cellular Biology, and Zool- ogy.

SCIENCE I 189 Course required by state policy Why American History again? was a question many Juniors seemed to ask. The reason was that FIorida's edu- cational policy required that all students must pass one year of American History to graduate. It was hoped that 11th grade students were ready for a more intensive look at America and its herit- age. Also, if it was failed it could be taken again in the 12th grade. This prevented any conflict with graduation. Self-expression was one of the major weak points of the students. To help correct this problem, spelling was highly stressed in the department. Many different methods of teaching were also used to make material more interesting. Projects and reports challenged the student to become aware of as well as active participants in the American life style.

SOCIAL STUDIES f 191 Language study broadens speaking ability, culture Students at Choctaw seemed to enjoy speaking a foreign language very much. The languages that were oHered were French, Spanish, German, and Latin. The classes consist- ed of more conversation than grammar. This made the stu- dents feel like they were actually learning more of the language. The fun parts of the class- es were the conventions that took place in the spring. Stu- dents competed against other 1 5 . S 192 f LANGUAGES schools in the categories of dic- tation, plays, poetry, and many others. Speaking a foreign Ian- guage improved students' voc- abulary and grammar. The pre- stige of speaking a foreign Ian- guage was impressive on job applications and on college en- trance exams.

One taught individual ex- pression, while the other encouraged performance as part of a group. The newest addition to the art de- partment was the air brush used in the arts and crafts class. Also new wood- working equipment helped relieve the overcrowded conditions which existed around the old equipment. The Art II and Ill students were allowed to work at their own pace on individual projects. All stu- dents seemed to agree the depart- ment's casual teaching methods were the best atmosphere for the nature of artistic studies. The music department was busy with the annual Christmas concert and various contests in which they com- peted during the year. The Style Marchers were the exhibition band in the Miracle Strip Marching contest and the Madrigals made special perform- ances during several pep rallies.

Students enjoyed sewing, cooking, in- terior decorating, and many other classes. Instead of textbooks, more magazines were used to keep the students up-to-date with all of the current fashions. The students who took fashions and fabrics sewed all their fa- vorites, while those in interior decorating decorated their home-to-be with all the new 196 ! HOME ECONOMICS styles. The guys who took Bachelor Survival learned how to cook so they didn't run home and say, Hey mom, fix me something to eat. They could actually turn on a burner and they could even boil water. They also spent time talking about how they're going to run their families. In the other home eco- nomic classes, students were taught the financial and eco- nomic conditions ofthe U.S. This was to help them when they were grown and out on their own. They were also taught the correct way to care for kids and how to have a happy marriage. There were so many dif- ferent types of home economic classes. Each one of them was relaxing and informative. They allowed the students to use their minds and skills to be creative. TOP LEFT: As the new addition to the Home Ec department, Mrs. Best has her hands full watching over her cooking stu- SINGER dents.

HOME ECONOMICS l197 Eiilll 3' l E ll 522 S Trade school, shop develop career skills Students this year were more in- terested in technical skills. ln the indust- rial arts classes, students took elec- tronics, drafting, and auto mechanics. Even girls got their fingers into the action. Powder puff mechanics made it super easy for them. They learned to tell what was wrong with a car and how to fix it. At the Vocational-Technical school, auto mechanics was also the favorite. For the girls, cosmetology seemed to be the number one. Even though these were the favorites, there were many other fun courses offered like food production and services, car- pentry, and welding. By studying one subject intensely for nearly three hours, students were able to find immediate job employment. Many students were planning careers in their fields of study. At Choc- taw and Vo-Tech, students learned to use their own hands and skills to pre- pare for a trade for later use in life. TOP LEFT: Creativity is achieved from the welding classes taught at Vo-Tech, one of the many other courses offered. CENTER LEFT: The electronic class taught at CHS gives David Johnson and Brent Elliott the chance to learn how different things op- erate.

The Business Department broadened its teaching capacity in many ways. A new receptionist class was of- fered and an economics class was reopened. Mrs. Rich joined the staff with Mrs. Bludworth who had returned from a prolonged leave. A newly equipped classroom was also added to the grow- ing, expanding department. A new club, The Future Business Leaders of America, was sponsored by the Business Department. The students attended both district and state con- tests. Each year local car dealers loaned cars to the Driver's Education Department. The students were taught the concepts of good defensive driving. Since the class was confined to the range, however, a lot of emphasis was placed on the parking and maneuvering skills. The department tried to instill in each student the importance of good driving habits. TOP LEFT: Beneath this gruff and foreboding ex- terior lies an outstanding driver's ed teacher with terrific accident insurance.

DRIVER'S EDUCATION l 201 Exercising releases daily frustrations Exercise should be a part of everyone's daily routine. Students re- lieved their tensions by exercising in P.E. Girls' basketball and advanced ten- nis were the two new ways to do so. There were even coed classes in which both guys and girls could exercise to- gether. Some new equipment was bought for the students' use. More tennis courts were also added. The only part of the class which could not be improved was the element of time. Much of it was eaten up by dressing out and in. ROTC also provided an opportu- nity for physical activity. The new drill team consisted of 16 members who practiced every day. Most students who took ROTC planned on going into the service. lt was worth all the time when high school was over and they began earning much more money. This wentfor the girls, too. Many more girls took ROTC this year and en- joyed it quite a bit. Three field trips were planned, from which a great deal was learned to help them in their future careers. TOP LEFT: Sgt.

They bulldozed their way through carwashes and a beauty pageant. They made another stab at class privileges and a trip to Dis- ney World.

When results were finally tabulated after a highly competitive campaign, seniors made their preferences known with Bubba Garner chosen as class Presidentg Lynda Lyt- tle, Vice-President, Cindy Wingo, Treasurer, Linda Carter, Secretary, Cindy Brooks, Histo- rian. Together the newly elected officers worked to inspire seniors to records of achievement that would reflect the pride of the Class of '77, Senior excellence displayed itself float won first place. With this accomplish- ment at hand seniors tried even harder to insure a most successful Miss CHS pageant in their first year supervising the show.

The three requirements that were considered in nominating were involvement in extra-curricular activities, personality and high academic achievement. From a list of 91, those who did not meet the grade requirements were eliminated, leaving 73 nominees. Seniors then voted for those they felt should be named Choctaw's Deserving Do- zen. Chosen were president of Interact, Steve Al- brightg Student Council president, Amy Autryg cheer- leader captain, Nanci Bullockg 1977 Jr. Miss, Vicky Schererg track star, Mike Clay, Operation-Reach-Out chairperson, Mary Thoreeng Sr. Tri-Hi-Y president, Cathy Crews, Sophomore attendant and 1976's Miss Junior, Debbie Middletong football scholar, Miles Val- entineg Senior Class president, Bubba Garnerg ma- iorette captain, Diane Weaverg and Miss CHS of 1977, Lynn West.

Tracie Gold and Craig Harris were elected by their peers as being most representative of the class. Ms. Junior was actively involved in extra-curricular organizations, enjoying membership in Wheelettes and serving as vice-president of two other clubs. She also ran on the cross-country and track teams. Mr. Junior was supportive of his school in the baseball and football programs. Above all, the two were honored because of their personalities. Each had a positive attitude which enriched their junior year.

The attitude of the class as a whole picked up as did the amount of participation. This was all largely due to the efforts of the officers. To lead them in their endeavors, the juniors elected very capable and compatible students: Russell Kendrick, president, Bar- bara Lewis, vice-presidentg Mary Spain Pope, treasurerg Sharon Schaefer, historiang and Susan Robbins, secretary. Remaining ac- tive and productive throughout the year did not trouble these repre- sentatives, as they continually called for and received support. With sponsor Mr. Bill Benson, both officers and class achieved various proiects and a higher level of school spirit.

What's that! It is a stage that each high school student goes through. Usually occurring when he reaches eleventh grade, it lingers until promotion to the Senior Class. Usual symptoms are loss of energy, inability to yell at pep ral- lies, extensive complaining, fre- quent skipping, and boredom. Most of the phenomena were faithfully observed, but this year saw an un- expected reversal with an entire class suspension from activities for over-enthusiasm. Another problem in this phase of life was answering that all-important question Who am I? or in some cases, What am IT' Dif- ficulties set in as students realized that they were no longer sopho- mores and not yet seniors, so im- maturity and snobbery were heav- ily frowned upon. This left the dis- eased victims up in the air with identity crises. Unfortunately, they suffered through the year, since the only known cure for the futile feeling that accompanies juniordom is the completion of the junior year. 244 l JUNIORS Jeanne McMorrow Duran McNeal Kim McPhail John Merritt Theresa Mesiner Butch Meyer Lynda Meyers James Miller Mark Miller Tammy Miller Vicki Miller Wanda Miller David Mills Randy Mills Sandi Mitchell Marcus Montgomery Steve Moody Chris Moore John Moore Lyle Moore Mary Moore Teresa Moore Tracy Moore Herbert Moree Joel Morgan Janet Morris Richard Morris Sandy Morris Rhonda Morrison Robert Mundy Monica Muro Barry Murray Robert Murray Mike Myers Lisa Nall Kim Nash Chris Nelson Karen Nelson Sherry Nelson Dale Newcomer Steve Nichols Lynn Nicololf Robert Noble Phyllis Northey Alan Nunn John 0'Brien Wayne Ogoley John Oliver Lewis Oliver Tom 0'Rourke Charlotte Osburn Kathy Osterman Tommy Ousley Catherine Owen Bill Owens William Pake JUNIORS I 245 Brenda Paladini Ernest Parker Don Parks Everette Parrish Mike Pattison Julie PSBFSOII Becky Peter DBITEII P9fefS0l'l Gary Phillips Glen Phillips Suzanne Phillips Teina Phillips 246 I JUNIORS Judy Pickett Bob Pin: Penny Pinkerton Lisa Pitkus Diana Poff Lee Pope Mary Spain Pope Linda Porter Danny Price Dudley Primous Greg Prince Jeffery Prince Lori Pritchard Mark Raleigh Mike Raleigh Diane Ramsey Jeff Ramsey Kevin Rea Joe Reese Kelly Reeves Andy Register Steven Reid Bobby Restivo Bill Rex Lance Reynolds Andy Richardson Dawn Lee Richardson Brian Ricks Dan Riley Maureen Riley Randy Riley Patty Risalvato Susan Robbins Jack Robinson Mike Rodrigue Bonnie Rogers Laura Rogers Lisa Rogers David Ronca Doug Rooks Judy Rooksfool James Ross John Rossi Valerie Russell Julie Sacco Randy Sansom Wendy Sawyer Chris Saxer Donna Schade Sharon Schaefer Thomas Schlau Lisa Schomburg Andy Schroer Karnise Schweizer Carl Sconnely Greg Scott James Scott Amy Scruggs Tracy Sears Mike Seaton Debbie Seip Cheri Self Kathy Sell lvonne Seward Mark Shaefier Robin Shanklin Carla Shelenberger Donna Sheltra Mattie Shepherd Mike Shepherd Bill Shipley Lauri Shomberg JUNIORS l 247 Donna Simmons Ricky Simmons Scott Simmons Willie Simmons Heidi Sindell Inger Siostrom Douglas Smith Edwena Smith Frank Smith Gary Smith Greg Smith James Smith Shirley Smith Patricia Smithwick Virgal Snellgrose Joe Somers Wendy Somerset David Southerland Karen Sparks Fay Spears Jeff Spencer Jellrey Spencer Mark Spier Brian Sprague Robert Stalnaker Norma Stanley Janet Starkel David Steen Walter Stercho Jeffrey Stevens Lynn Stevenson Arthur Stewart Debbie Stewart Donald Stewart Deborah Stokes 248 IJUNIORS ew- Mark Stone Randy Stone Freddie Storner Olivia Stovall Kim Sfreit Sylvia Sublefte Chris Suhre Gene Suppell Lawry Szemere Ane Tashik Deena Taylor George Taylor Scott Taylor Jimmy Templin Karie Tennant Jay Terflinger Becky Thomas Robert Thomas Venessa Thompson Carrie Thomson Kim Thrall Debbie Thrasher Lek Anucha Tiemkongkanchna Lisa Timmerman Tim Timmons Suzanne Todd Cecil Touart Martin Troufman Prom preparations underway early, continue during year The Prom - two magic words as far as most stu- dents were concerned, although they seldom Iooked be- yond tothe actual events which conjured up that dream. The juniors have traditionally had that responsibility. Before any actual planning was done, budgets were drawn up. How much money should be spent? was the ultimate decision, one which resulted in perhaps the most expensive prom in Choctaw's history. Consequently, numerous money-making ventures were undertaken, es- pecially those requiring sales techniques. A big financial boost came when the Santa Rosa Mall Chick-fil-a sponsored a Chicken Challenge among the three area high schools. Throughout January, stu- dents gorged themselves on chicken while piling up votes for their school. Tabulating completed, CHS won by over 500 votes. The prize, a free sandwich for each student and 300 dollars for the prom, added to the treasury. As does every Junior Class, these middlemen wanted to make their prom the best ever. Only through diligent work and effort with terrific class participation could such an ideal be accomplished. The class of '78 molded it all into a beautiful realization, the prom.

Challenging the other two classes with their deafening the first pep rally, they surprised even the teachers by knowing most of the cheers.

Eve Boggess was typical of these, and was selected to represent the sophomores of the school as class pres- ident. Vice president Patty Petry and secretary Becky Brewer proved that re- sponsibility ran high. Equally important were the contributions of class treasurer Kathy Raines and Beth Crumpler, class histo- rian. a don Gru s Sophomores spend exhaustmg year with energetic actnvntxes, Semor Apprecnatnon Energetically bursting into Choctaw with vigor and vitality which remained undampened throughout pep rallys, senior privileges and snow, the sopho mores joined together to stage many successful activities. Hold ing car washes and bake sales sponsoring J.V. football games and building prize winning floats there seemed to be sophomores all over. A lot of the money made went into the biggest project of the year, the sophomore spon sored Senior Appreciation Day Planning for this began almost the day Christmas vacation ended, with committees of active sophomores meeting to discuss and lay out the format 262 l SOPHOMORES David Guin David Gurley Jack Haigler Keith Haines Angus Hales Lori Hamilton Terry Hammack Lovel Hand Jane Handley John Hannah Eric Hanson Loren Hardy Yancy Harges Tina Harkins Tim Harmon Gary Harlsvedt Paula Harrison Cyrus Harrington Kevin Hart George Harvath Michael Hatcher Diane Haugh Kathryn Hearon Celestial Hearon Kristine Heiney Robin Hembree Jeff Henkener Tamara Hendrick Patrick Henrie Debra Henry Wallace Herbert Tyron Hinesly Beverly Hobbs Cynthia Hodges John Hodges Faye Hodges Clive Hodgson Tamara Hoffman Charles Hoffman Cheryl Hoffman Frank Holcombe James Hollon Frank Homberg Kay Horne David Horsley Mark Horton Donna Howell Eric Hritz Kathryn Huggins Kim Hughes Nancy Hughes John Huston James Huston Marco Hyden Janet Ingram Suann lvey SOPHOMORES 1263 Chester Jackson Dennis James Paul Janney Lescelia Jeflcoat Clarke Johnson David Johnson Don Johnson Melinda Johnson Mike Johnson Kim Jones Sherri Jones T.J.

By an overwhelming majority, Scott Flint and Stephanie Poschel were selected by the Class of '79 to be their Miss Sophomore Mr. and Miss Sophomore. Spending a year engaging in sophomore activities with spirit which set an example for all their classmates, they left their mark on such varied projects as the Homecom- ing Float, Senior Appreciation, and sel- ling confections at J.V. games. It could be said this year's Mr. and Miss Sopho- more represented the best of the sophs.

As students slink by his lodging, they press against the far wall to keep as much distance as pos- sible between them. They often smell brimstone and burning Levi's. Many brash, young sophomores striding into his liar at the beckoning of a golden slip, have emerged white and shaken while some have never returned at all, their fate a mystery locked in the mists of Coach Walton's Office. 268 l SOPHOMORES Ruben Paprocki Stephanie Poschel Glenda Poston Linda Poston Tina Pratofiorito Mike Prestarri Chris Price Sandra Price Joe Proscia Larry Puckett Doug Purdy Sherry Patrick Scott Putriment Sandra Roberts Annette Robinson Donnie Rogers Brett Robinson Cindy Robins Cindy Robinson David Rowland Mark Rohlman Alan Rogers Charles Rouse Kathy Raines Fam Ralph David Rauschkolb Judy Rawlings Tim Ray Dotti Reams Janice Reaves Don Renelt Kelly Reynolds Cheryl Richards Patty Richard Karen Richardson Mike Richardsons Tami Richardsons Rita Richmond John Riekna Ken Rigginbach Suzanne Risalvato Billy Risher Chris Risher Renaldo Riveraasf Todd Rupp Carl Russell Kevin Ruth f Eve Sacco Clyde Sanders Tom Sandiford Susan Sandstrom Steve Sarlatti James Sartor Patsy Scaeler Walter Scherer Maria Scheidt Patrick Schrider Davin Scott Shannon Scott Sharon Scott Becky Seip Tom Shacklelord Susan Seidow Cathy Sigler SOPHOMORES 1269 Frederick Siostrom Frances Sloma Cherie Smith Melissa Smith Nancy Smith Tammy Smith Julie Smoak Andrew Snaith Charles Snodgrass Nancy Somerset Laura Spivey James Springs Mary Stanford LaDonna Steele David Stefanik Michelle Steidl Hohanna Stein Richard Stevens Leslie Stewart Tracy Stone James Storter Bruce Story Cynthia Strawser David Stricland Nancy Sutherland Kathy Tallent Danny Tauey David Taylor Richard Taylor Jeffrey Thomas Sondra Thompson Willie Thompson Michael Thorne Debra Thornton Jayme Tidwell Cindy Timmons James Townsand Vinh Tran Verne Travers Jimmy Trippe John Troutman Jana Unruh Barbara Vanderslice Mark VanDyke Trent VanDyke Andrew Vasiloff Steve Veech Terrie Villancci Don Vinson Mike Vaite Brenda Waldorfl Amanda Walker Teresa Walker Robert Walton Barbara Wangerw Jennifer Ward Anthony Watson John Weatherford Dennis Weaver Michael Weaver Charlotte Welch Lee West Michael White Michael White Andy Wilkinson Sherry Whitney Harold Whitmere James White Launa White Cathleen Wilkinson Randy Williams Rebecca Wilson 270 I SOPHOMORES David Wilson Eugene Wilson Carla Winston Pat Withey Bobby Woll David Wollgram Theresa Wood Belinda Worley David Worthington Tony Wright Jerome Yates Allison Yii Susan Yoakum Cindy McGuire Tim McGuire ABSTENTIA Soplxomores not included in section' Lee Baker Karen Bittle Jeff Brown Debbie Blasigin John Boissemin Benny Bowen Joy Brown Sherlye Burger Tommy Campbell Mike Carpenter Jo Ann Chafin Darrlyn Choate Dale Colburn Victor Cole Debbie Crews Eric Davis Mike Dockery Joe Downing Don Ekman Sandra Evans Mark Forsythe Mark Fortune Mark Fowler Kevin Frazer Paul Freemen Kathe French Cathy Gillen Debbie Godwin Paula Harrison John Harrison Cyrus Harringron Troye Hedeman Kelly Holfman Patricia Henderson Bobbie Higgins Linda Hines Richard Holroyd George Horvath Steve Howes Scott Kenaston Sandra King Dotty Kossow Steve Lance Herbert Lane Nhung Thi Le Kathy Legg Darlene Matheran Cherie Marquardt David Marshall Joe Maring Vicki Martire Tom MacDonald Margaret McHenry Martin McHugh Laurie McKinley Patrick McLauglin David Meyer Bill Montgomery Bill Moore Bruce Nelson Debby Norris Sherry Patrick James Patrick George Pearson Louie Pettie Daphne Pope Mathew Pahe Stephan Ruth Maria Schleidy Malinda Schliesser Robert Schroeder James Scribner Bill Seal Bruce Setterberg Vicki Shade Vicki Sills ' Paul Singley Katrina Sindell Thomas Sipos Lorrie Smith Laurie Sutherland Don Sterner James Storter Debbie Stuckey Danny Talley Larry Tarver Albert Thorton Clark Trivet Donna Triplet Veronica Vanderslice Teresa Vetzel Robert Walton James Walker Mike West John Williams Shawn Williams Demetrius Wilson Robert Winn Marian Yvarra Mike Zern Janet Zetterland Ronnie Zlmerle SOPHOMORES l 271 N mdg?g5ie A sl slid. 3 -' D I CKicPfU 'f' Support in Community WALDORFF Insurance and Bonding Inc.

Graduation, spring sports, and color seemed to be some deciding factors. In August when school opened, the staff met for the first time. Plans were discussed and classes were begun on howto put an annual together and sur- vive. Photographers, which are usually scarce, were in abundance this year. Communication problems developed, however, when the photographers were placed in fifth and the staff in sixth. A problem which developed later on in the year was the lack of support from the community. To make up forthis, a hard-sell campaign was set up. Post- ers everywhere proclaimed It was coming weeks before sales actually be- gun. Annuals were sold all through the month of January during lunch. Since the sales were low, two all day selling sessions were held. This year's Tomahawk was dedi- cated totally to pleasing the student and not yearbook critique services or con- tests. 5 7fY:wEffIx1:f?YQX :5if54re.iif Tat:Ethicliilvwt!?fsw??f?X'?sI-u5bi?f'fPe 1fvci?W?eifYxs:W?fl -'f':e'XF9f'f' ' T :Feiss Y:rfiiQ2f?wi-uf. sffgfgif?w5?rSif5,sgmii'f?Qa55f5gg:fsgg3fw-Pss,f?43fs'?t-fsfagf,.g Sprawisat -5 R l, sf,22iQag?b5g3ftx,5gg,QS5i9,ti... ws' X.
