Student Life STUDENT LIFE 7 Summer, a season of fun, surfing, skiing, i Even better than being a tourist in Fort Walton Beach was living there. Resident beach bums had ample time to cultivate their water sport skills, while tourists eventually had to head back to the hills. Hours not spent earning summer money were often used sailing, waterskiing, soaking in the rays and soothing sunburns. Florida summers are a time of beauty; people became more physical- ly active, engaging in popular recrea- tional sports such as motocross, racquetball, surfing, and sailing. As in a resort community, the beauty of nature was ever present. Fort Walton Beach was famous for it's sugar -white beaches, clear blue skies, and colorful sunrises and sunsets. Students were able to take advantage of this beauty and spent many hours outdoors enjoying nature. 8 SUMMERTIME and a motocross run SUMMERTIME 9 1) Sharon Horton, Darlene Matuska and Liz Wilkenson give Nikki McCulloch a look even Dolly Parton would be proud of. 2) Mike Howard breezes around the bayou early one morning. 3) Volleyball is a popular summertime sport.

Miss CHS made the rainbow connection As thirty-five lovely ladies were escorted on stage, everyone wondered who would be chosen the new Miss CHS. Before the winner was chosen the audience and judges were treated to performances by eleven talent finalists, the formal wear competition and the questioning of the five finalists. Between the many segments of the evening the audience was entertained by the Choctaw Barbershop Quartet Plus. This group electrified the audience with a varity of old barber- shop classics, modern rock, and instrumental pieces. During the inter- mission and throughout the evening the Master of Ceremonies, Steve Petermann, kept the evening going smoothly. Eventually the thirty-five girls were narrowed down to ten, then five, and finally the winners were announced.

Big Green Indian pep rallies PEP RALLIES 13 The pep rallies held every Friday morning at Choctaw, were the climax to each busy week. The momentous event was put into action by the stupendous Style Marchers who led the cheerleaders and the student body into an uproar. Keeping up with the momentum of the rally, the Indianettes performed dances carrying on the pulsating beat already created. Madrigals and Pep band helped build the spirit with their musical enthusiasm. Included in the weekly traditions was the competition to determine most spirited class. One of the largest was Sophomore Say led by Alan Armstrong making the room reverberate with cheering sophomores, juniors and seniors. Portraying the real Indian vitality and strength were the brave and squaw, Steve Gordon and Toni Drago. As the Alma Mater brought the pep rally to a close, the fever pitch subsided, but would surge forward again that night when the game began. The night of Homecoming '81, which had promised to be a memor- able event fulfilled all expectations of those involved. The evening started with the color and excitement of the Homecoming Parade. The class of '81 made a clean sweep with their float, becoming the first class ever to win all three years of float competition at Choctaw. With the Indians team well ahead at half-time, the Homecoming Queen Renee Johnson and her court were presented. After the game, to celebrate another Indian victory (48-0), everyone danced the night away to the beat of a live band.

The entire week was not only a time for the graduated club members to return, but also for the new ones to be initiated. All week long there were classes filled with big birds, Cone heads, baby lions, fairies, and other assorted oddities. Passage through the halls was hindered by Raggedy Ann's pushing pencils with their noses and Wonder Women trying to adjust their unaccustomed apparel. The embarassment of the day was overshadowed by the spirit of tradition ever present at Choctaw. Clubs, classes and various organizations worked literally around the clock to complete their part in Homecoming night's gala. All this coincided with the coming of Halloween, thus making the spectacle even more extraordinary. All in all, Homecoming 81 was a tremen- dous success and revealed itself in the glowing faces of everyone at Choctaw. HOMECOMING 17 Students give it everything they've got at i The theme for the 1980-81 talent show was On Broadway , which set the mood for all talents exhibited throughout the evening. It was kicked off by a rendition of the theme song by Bruce Adams and an accompanying dance by the Indian- ettes. This was followed by a brilliant array of acts, such as, singing, dancing, impersonations, and in- strumental groups. Sponsored by student council, the years talent show was emceed by the infamous John Guzalak and Craig Sherman. With their slapstick comedy they were able to cleverly fill up time between performances and give the audience a few laughs. In the end, the twenty-one acts were narrowed down to the six winners. Taking first place was the band Nightwind , second went to Prue Tippins with the song Noth- ing , third was awarded to Jose Santiago and his band for Black Magic Woman , Toni Drago won for her interpretation of Cher, taking fourth place, Cathi Perrett received fifth place singing Touch Me In The Morning , and the stupendous Senior Six took sixth place with their modern dance routine. Through the skill and imagination put forth in this production, it was one of the best yet. 18 TALENT SHOW 1) John Guzalak shows his disgust at Craig Sherman's weak attempts at entertainment. 2) Len Emmick, Marc Filion, Tom Gillen, and Jose Santiago create magic with “Black Magic Woman . 3) Cathi Perrett slows the mood with her rendition of Touch Me In The Morning . 4) Toni Drago places fourth with her authentic imitation of Cher. 5) Marcel Aigret demonstrates that maybe the King is not dead. 6) Bruce Adams sets the New York city atmosphere with the song On Broadway . 7) Who but Prue Tippins could make something out of Nothing ? 8) Kim Veal caught in the act during a dance routine performed by Tracy Pfeiffer, Daphne Dent, Carol Macleay, Beth Mayo, and Kim. 9) Nightwinds Les Fagan is accompan- ied by Jim Clemons, John Dingus, Steve Ellison, and Marc Filion.

After the dance routine, the participants exhibited their fashionable attire during the formal walk. Following the formal walk, the young men supplied the audience with each of their talents. As the judges decided on talent winners, the guys got ready for what every girl was waiting for, the swimsuit compe- tition. While the judges tallied their votes, the audience was entertained by David Todd. When the ultimate decision was made, Craig Sherman was crowned Mr. Mock. He sur- prised the audience by singing Hungry Heart . But, the viewers were not the only ones surprised. While Craig was singing, the par- ticipants rolled Craig and carried him off the stage providing an amusing conclusion and enjoyable evening. 2 20 MR.

Indians vs Vikings — More than just a game With the beginning of every school year come the inevitable questions: Is Choctaw better than Ft. Walton this year? At football? At basketball? Who will win The Game this year? Known as the best rivalry in Northwest Florida, the Choctaw-Ft. Walton confrontations bring more excitement, fun, action — and yes, also tears — than any event in this area. Every time the Indians and the Vikings clash you can toss records, scorecards, and tab sheets aside and get set to watch competition the way it was meant to be seen. From deep inside every player a force with invincible power is created and perfection in every aspect of every sport is displayed when an Indian-Viking contest is played. The scores never reflect the true intense action played in each game and since there is no way to prove who is better, we can say that Choctaw has something that no one can diminish in any way, shape, or form: INDIAN PRIDE. 22 STUDENT LIFE An Indian year it truly was 9 1) lames Mauller puts the squeeze on a Viking wrestler. 2) Rob Brady sprints downfield for a pass to score against the Viking soccer team. 3) Kent Few proved to be superior in all swim matches that were with the Vikings. 4) Senior Jay Bailey and his club gave the Indians many golf victories in his years at Choctaw. 5) Wendy Criffin slips through Viking players to score in one of their heated battles this season. 6) Brad Walker returns a shot to one of the many Viking netters he faced. 7) Arthur Humphrey rambles for a big gain during ''The Came. 8) Don Lemons drives through Vikings' Leo Christian and Mark Smith (41) to score. 9) Steve Hill slides under Jeff Smith's tag and is called 'SAFE!' 8 STUDENT LIFE 23 PROM 25 in memories A night living The starlit night was like all the rest, but somewhere in the darkness, a room full of glamour and beauty made memories to last a lifetime. The sun had not yet set when the evening of magic began with dinner at one of the town's nicest restaurants. After the meal and the sunset, the mood had been set and couples started to arrive at Eglin Officer's Club for one of the biggest nights of the year — prom. Posing for pictures, crowding on to the dance floor as Destiny played The Best of Times ' taking a stroll down to the water, and just sitting at the tables sharing the moments added up to a night that couldn't be matched. But this Cinderella story didn't end at midnight. It lasted all night long. After the music had ended, there were parties to go to and more good times to share. It all ended too soon. But, as Styx worded it, Tonight can always last as long as we keep alive the memories of Paradise. 26 PROM •4 8 1) Brigid Finnigan and Nicole McCulloch are starry-eyed as they dance with their dates. 2) Anticipation for a beautiful evening is shown on Molly Goodrich's face as she and Drew Brown arrive at prom. 3) Destiny provides music to set the mood for prom. 4) Maureen McVey and Mike Schlueter hand out glasses and invitations to couples as they enter into Paradise. 5) Paul Forbrich and Cathy Watson pause to chat with Steve Hutcheson. 6) J.

PROM 27 Today's seniors are tomorrow's leaders Friday, May 29, 1981 had a special meaning for the seniors of the class of 1981. It was the day that they were to graduate. That was the last night that they would have before they took responsibility for their futures and their lives. Some were bound for college and some were bound for jobs, but that night each and every one of them were on the threshold of a new life. However, thoughts of the future did not always occupy their minds. They reminisced about the past twelve years and thought about all the things they wished that they had done and all those things that they wished they had not done. What would ten years hence bring? Who among them would be leaders in the community, who would be rich and famous, who would make it and who would not? The future held out a bright new promise to that class who had only just begun to make their influence felt in the society that they would soon become a part of. 30 GRADUATION we have only just begun 1) Andrea Bennett, David Lamburt, Danny Bennett and Mike Bennett ail join together to celebrate graduation. 2) How do you spell relief?

May 26, 1981. Rev. Green reminded us that we all create our own God whether it be a snappy new sports car, drugs, or the true creator. He challenged us to place a priority on our time and to go forth doing good for ourselves and mankind. Baccalaureate brought together the senior classes of both Choctaw and Ft. Walton for a last time at Memorial Stadium. This moving service, a unification of our joint spirit, served to set the stage for the grand finale on graduation night. 2 32 BACCALAUREATE the future years that come 1) Hope Christain, Jim Reed, Craig Sherman make a proud march around the Memorial Stadium track. 2) As Cindy Evors greets Greg Stillman he hands her a Baccalaureate program. 3) The seniors lined up a little less formally than they would do at Graduation. 4) This lack of alphabetical order enabled Sandra Jansa to be last in line. 5) Rev.

The seniors enjoyed rides and watched a wide variety of entertainment till 5 A.M. Those who were able to attend Grad Night, were lucky enough to tune their ears in to some of the popular groups such as Sister Sledge, Pure Prairie League, and others. Along with enjoying all the entertainment, seniors flocked in to shops to spend the rest of their money and bring home memorbilia. The seniors finally arrived back to their home town exhausted from all the excitement and thrilling encounters which they experienced at Grad Night. 1) You can't miss seeing the beautiful sight of the Cinderella Castle as you walk through the gates of Walt Disney World. 2) Jim Reed takes a small nap after a long night at Disney. 3) Dawn Winch sleeps on the long bus ride as her new friend from Disney World rests upon her shoulder. 4) Daphne Dent and Vince Mooney agree that a bus trip can be very enjoyable when you are sitting with the one you love. 5) Renee Harsa, Leslie Timmerman and Sara McCormac picked-up a new boyfriend while walking down the beautiful paths of Walt Disney. 6) John Price and Alisa Hoffman were prepared for the long night of entertainment at Disney.

SENIOR BREAKFAST 37 Choctawhatchee students and faculty earn Choctaw was fortunate enough to succeed in several areas; sports, drama, writing, music, and much more. All this success was out of the talents of many students and faculty members. Every person connected with Choctaw had their successes whether it was personal, academic, or athletic. It was difficult to choose a handful of people to pay tribute to, however, the accomplishments of these persons were reason enough to be proud of Choctaw and all that it represents. TERRI MUNCH was awarded the coveted USCA award where only half of one percent of nine thousand cheerleaders were chosen and was selected as a Golden Eagle cheer- leader instructor. JIMMY RAY JONES was band master for thirteen years. During this time he brought success and fame through the band's outstanding per- formances from Miami, Atlanta, New Orleans, Dallas, Houston, and Anaheim California to Canada and Mexico. It is impossible to make a list of all the achievements that the band and the Jazz Ensemble obtained but the pride and the many successes that this unit have acquired through the years under the leadership of this man will live on in memory. Here's to you Mr. Jones and thank you for a job well done. 38 SPECIAL HONORS special recognition for achievements STEVE CHASTAIN AND DIANE DEAN are an excellent example of the type of pride that Choctaw likes to boast about.

Y-CLUBS 89 Students exhibit ruling skills 1) Speaker of the House, Steve Chastain, and Senate president, Liz Dohaney, were two of many Choctaw students who held top offices at Youth Leg. Choctaw swept honors such as these at the new Florida Captial building (2) in Tallahassee during the month of March. Fort Walton Beach's young men and women flocked here and many held offices. Cary Heapy went to the state capital as a representative. (3) The trip proved a successful one with the passage of legislation and major floor debates. It produced a new learning experience for all new legislators. 90 YOUTH LEGISLATURE 1) John Cuzalak who was the Lieutenant Governor, and Adam Sciortino, who will rule over the House next year, converse about certain bills to be presented soon. 2) Mr. Don Kyzer, formerly a frequent of Choctawhatchee, reviews legislators before the commencement of government exercises. 3) Tony Schettino debates a bill before the House of Representa- tives. Hark, the CHS chorus sings 1) Practice makes perfect, so this class practices for one of the many concert trips the Choctaw chorus made. 2) Fred Spano was one of the students who made All State at Daytona Beach. He was also one of the chorus members who made a superior rating at a Niceville competi- tion. 3) While the rest of the class sings in harmony, Nancy Plantholt has trouble remembering the words to this song. 4) At the District Choral Festival the Boys, Girls, and Mixed choruses performed. The Girls Chorus waits to go on stage. 92 CHORUS 4 1) Taking a much needed pause between performances, the Mixed chorus seems to enjoy the breaks as much as the singing. Soon they will be back up on stage and singing again. 2) Teresita Gagnon expresses her relief to Hope Gaither that they have finished singing. Both girls sang during the District Choral Festival held at Pine Forest Senior High School. 3) Mrs. Jordon directs and guides the Choctaw choruses. She teaches them and does the planning for the many concerts they perform such as the Christmas concert. 1 Left to right.

STYLE MARCHERS 97 Stylemarchers stay on top The schedule for the 1980 march- ing season was the type that befitted a Grand Finale, for it was filled with several trips that earned high honors for the group. Blessed with a large percentage of seniors that Mr. Jones called the finest class he ever had, the band was surprised to learn that indeed it was a Grand Finale, for Mr. Jones announced his retirement in late March. As well as hosting the Miracle Strip Marching Festival, playing in games and parades, and recieving straight ones at FBA Marching Contest, the Stylemarchers also performed in New Orleans, Dallas, and Tampa at profes- sional football games. Their profession- alism both on and off the field brought many letters to Fort Walton Beach, congratulating them on their distin- guished prowess. In addition to playing at the Dallas Cowboys' game in Texas, the Style- marchers also were bestowed with perhaps their highest honor — serving as honor band at the statewide Texas Marching Contest in the Cotton Bowl. All their performances away from home brought with them standing ovations, and it was at these moments that the hours of grueling practice paid off. Indeed, the hours were worth it; the honor brought to the CHS Stylemarchers in the 1980 marching season was enough to do anyone proud. It certainly did qualify as a Grand Finale, as it marked the ending of an era for the CHS Stylemarchers. 3 98 STYLEMARCHERS 1) Lee Sowell gives the traditional salute before the show begins. 2) Patricia Holston enjoys a hug from Bad Buc. 3) John Clemons concen- trates on a drum cadence which took many hours of practice. 4) Even before the music and motion begin, Stylemarchers captivate their audiences. 5) The band's pre-game show in honor of the hostages touched many hearts as Uncle Sam moved down the 50-yard line 6) Cheryl Buffkin and Kevin Murphy take a moment away from sight-seeing to pose for pictures. 7) Thom Arena and Mark Fought are put on public display for shooting revolutionar- ies with squirt guns. 8) Sharon Horton and Nicole McCulloch are in shock after seeing the size of the crowd they must perform before. STYLEMARCHERS 99 Musicians score top honors • A - •V. A Musicians who participated in band 2nd semester proved their skills by making superior and excellent ratings. 1) Many practices by the jazz band paid off on opening night of the Thalians' box office hit, West Side Story . The symphonic band entered contests and exited with superior ratings. 2) Craig Hoffman has a look of disgust as he steps on Viking territory for a band contest. 3) On the other hand, Margo Ashley, Kim Marchuk, Cheryl Buffkin, and Shala Metsner seem to be enjoying themselves in the FWB atmosphere. 100 BAND The jazz ensemble became celebrities the night they played back up band for Bob Hope. 1) The flag corps also took part in the presentation and are shown here displaying their spirit in hopes that Bob will see them. 2) Pam Cole, Leslie Timmerman, and George Day play their way through Incantation and Dance and on to superior ratings. 3) The trumpet section takes a break during a contest. 4) Members, such as Brent Purcell, show their talent in the pep band. 5) Renee Harsa shows her dedication in an afterschool rehersal.

Walton Beach, 34-13. In early spring, the Choctawhat- chee Indians began practicing for the spring jamboree and eventually their next season. Determination and hard work paid off as the Indians defeated a relentless Gonzales Tate team 19-13 for their opening win of the season. Falling to Mosley and Hardaway, Georgia seemed to dampen the prevailing enthusiasim, but Coach Thomas had something else in mind. With new coach Steve McCarthy coaching the receivers and the running of Arthur Humphrey and Scott Mar- shall, the Big Green Machine rolled over their next seven opponents with an average of 40 points each game. Led by the defensive heroics of end Johnny Page, linebacker Tyrone Clayborne, and sophomore Cedric Williams, the offensive surge of each opponent was stopped every game. A season-ending victory over cross-town rival Ft. Walton Beach climaxed an impressive come- back for the Indians and left the seniors something to remember. 4 7 FOOTBALL 105 CHOCTAW OPPONENT 19 TATE 13 6 MOSLEY 7 21 HARDAWAY 35 28 NICEVILLE 12 30 PINE FOREST 6 38 RUTHERFORD 10 48 MILTON 0 49 ESCAMBIA 12 49 BAY 6 34 FT.

Hustling like this is what kept Choctaw's defense highly respected by all county teams. 3) George Jackson sprints for yardage through an opening upfield. Being an excellent blocker also highlighted his senior year of football. 4) Steve Hill falls forward after an interception as Tyrone Clayborne blocks for him. Steve Hill's quickness and his ability to cover the entire field earned him the honor of most valuable defensive back many times. Steve was also 3 second-string quarterback. 106 FOOTBALL First Row: Richardson, Cope, Jackson, Bethune, Marshall, Bonadonna, Pop Marler, Brown, Shields, Thomas, Kasch, Allison.

They had the potential to be a super team, but their lack of experience hindered their play. They certainly got it together at the end of the season when they walloped the Vikings 21-8 through a grueling battle of bruises. Maintaining the traditional cross-town rivalry, the Junior Varsity Indians chalked up more points against Fort Walton Beach High School than against any other team that they were in competition with this season. Several players were selected by the coaches as outstanding team members. Clevelend McNabb, 11, was voted Most Valuable Back for his much needed efforts as quarterback. The Most Valuable Lineman was Ben Moore, 68, and James Crum, 30, was nominated Most Valuable Player for his skills as a runningback and a linebacker.

They ended the season with a 26-4 record. The team then won the District tournament by beating three teams: Niceville, Bay and Fort Walton. Ad- vancing into regionals the Indians took the title, beating Washington 71-69. On the final regular season poll, Choctaw was rated seventh in the state in the 4A class. At the end of the season several team members were honored for outstanding play. Among those honored was Mike Ousley who received the Most Valuable Player Award not only for Choctaw, but for the county and district as well. Mike Ousley, Don Lemons, John McCorvey, Bubba Cooper and Eltegra Cowart attained Star Honors by obtaining 35 stars or more throughout the season. The Scholastic Achievement Award was earned by Bo Lewis who ended the season with a 3.6 average. Don Lemons was presented the Hawkeye Award for having made the highest percentage of freethrows during the year. The Hustle Award was bestowed upon Bubba Cooper for his energetic support of the team.

BASKETBALL 115 JV Indians shoot the hoop The 1980-81 Junior Varsity Basket- ball team faced tough challenges throughout their season, but they always came through with great spirit and Choctaw pride! Led by coach Nelson Sanders, each player gave his best efforts. Some of the standouts of the season were Clevland McNabb, a good defensive player and rebounder; Benny Gabbard, whose good points were handing and shooting the ball, defense, and court awareness; Kendall Brewer, who earned most of his points from the fast break and his good outside shooting; and Bobby Springle, a very smart player known for his wise defensive strategy. Keeping the start- ing five sharp, the backup players were Danny Youngblood, Cedrick Williams, Jessie Cooley, Steve Horsley, George Borinski, David Walker, Charles Bauer, and Mike Keister. Honored at their annual basketball banquet were Robert Jordan, most valuable player, and Benny Gabbard, most improved. 3 116 JV BASKETBALL 1) A free throw is shot by Danny Youngblood as Benny Gabbard awaits the chance to approach the rebound. 2) Danny Youngblood outjumps an opponent to make a well performed jump shot. 3) Coach Sanders aides Robert Lindsey with his basketball skills. 4) Kendall Brewer dribbles across the court to set up an organized team play. 5) Benny Gabbard makes a good two point lay-up for Choctaw. 6) Kendall Brewer approaches his opponents, ready for action. 7) Mike Keister and George Borinski think they are tough stuff as they tell their opponents, We are ready for you. 8) As teammates rush to help, an opposing player attempts to block a Choctaw basket, but ends by fouling Danny Youngblood. f The 1980-81 jV Basketball team was (standing) Cedric Williams, George Borinski, Danny Youngblood, Charles Bauer, Mike Keister, Steve Horsley, Robert Jordan (sitting) Jesse Cooley, Benny Gabbard, Kendall Brewer, Bobby Springle, Cleveland McNabb Not pictured David Walker.

The girls accom- plished many goals and overcame many difficult breaks. As the Lady Indians worked many hard hours after school, the practices finally paid off for the girls received second in District with 17 wins and 8 losses. The din of cheering Indian fans overcame the girls as they constantly played to a full house. Choctaw's golden girls were referred as the C.C. girls: Harriet Copeland and Kim Clark. Together they averaged 53 points a game with Harriet Copeland scoring 28 points and Kim Clark scoring 25 points. Harriet Copeland received a grant from Gulf Coast Community College for her outstanding sportsmanship. Kim Clark stood out as the all time shooter and rebounder in the history of Chocta- whatchee High School. The team brought new enthusiasm for girls' basketball and certainly deserves the highest praise. Throughout the history of Chocta- whatchee High School, the cheer- leaders have emerged as a fine group of talented young ladies who cheer Choctaw on to victory. The 1980-81 squad was no exception. Not only did the enthusiastic girls faithfully generate school spirit at every football and basketball game, but they also showed their talent by winning many awards and competitions, including the title of Champions of 1980 Varsity Division and Most Spirited Squad, which were given at the Golden Eagle Cheerleading Camp at the University of South Alabama. In April, the cheerleaders had the pleasant exper- ience of attending the National Golden Eagle Cheerleading Clinic held in Virginia. Although the girls worked for many long and hard hours to attend the clinic, they all agreed that it was well worth it, and gave an exceptional performance. Clearly, the 1980-81 varsity cheerleaders enjoyed a very prosperous year.

BACK ROW) Michelle Tate; Co-Captain, Faye Cannon, Vicki Borinski; Captain, Kim Sappenfield, Susan Bell, Sandra Atkinson. 7 The 1980-81 year was a rewarding and very busy time for the J.V. Cheerleaders and their sponsor Mrs. Jenny Hamilton. Along with the schedule of school activities such as pep rallies, football games, and the promotion of class spirit, there were a number of awards presented to the J.V. group. The squad attended the Golden Eagle Cheerleading Camp in Mobile where they won most of the awards given. As champions of the 1980 Jr. Varsity Division, they were awarded a small megaphone and spirit stick for outstanding spirit, and won an award for their outstanding skit presented during Skit Night. In the spring, the girls attended national competition at Kings Dominion in Richmond, Virginia. These awards were earned through long hours of dedicated practice and teamwork. This team effort has provided for the students of CHS, and following students in years to come, a touch of big green spirit. J.V. CHEERLEADERS 123 The 1980-1981 Indianettes were once again something that Chocta- whatchee High School should truly be proud of. They managed to take award after award in all of the contests that they entered. In Orlando, at the state dance meet, the Indianettes took first place for the fifth year in a row. Under the direction of Mrs. Janie Varner and the assistant direction of Mrs. Suzanne Strickland, the Indianettes never ceased to amaze those who watched them. They had many dazzling numbers, but one of their favorites was The Main Event. Anyone who saw this pom-pom routine would be most impressed by the dancing skill before them. And who could forget the delightful renditions of The Monster Mash and The Devil Went Down to Georgia performed at the pep rallies throughout the year. The school's fine dance organization gave one fantastic performance after another in the 1980-1981 season and have truly earned a position in the lime light of Choctaw High School. Here's the real Main Event! Back row, left to right, Pam Rowe, Becky Stock, Missy Stone, Andrea Harvel, Sandy Wheelahan, Susan Landers. Second row, Gwen Andrews, Micky Harell, Tara Mosblech, Debbie Cramer, Robyn Strickland, Donna Dalton, Tammy Broyles, Bridget Finnigin.

This is her rendition of Thoroughly Modern Millie. 4) Mrs. Varner is hard at work trying to achieve the perfection that makes these Janie's girls . 5) Missy Stone, Lissa Criss, Shelly Denison, Beth Jones and Becky Stock were obviously very happy with their performance. 6) Indianette captain Michele Fletcher was always ready with words of encouragement to her fellow dancers, SHUT UP AND KEEP SMILING OR I'LL RIP YOUR HAIR OUT!! INDIANETTES 125 Team nets best season yet Throughout the school there were those who were heavily involved in sports; many of these were on the tennis team. The team consisted of about twenty members who combined coordination, talent, school spirit, and agility to become one of the most outstanding teams Choctaw ever had. Many hours of hard practice contributed to their success. The top players on both the girls' and boys' teams respectively were Kim Oleson and Brad Walker. Both Kim and Brad led each team to the state competition by demolishing all other opponents. It was obvious that all of the players' hard work and practice during and after school paid off. The 1981 tennis team was full of confidence and the team members, under the guidance of Coach White, proved that experience, lots of hard practice, and good leadership are all keys to the achievement of success. Sergio Ekstein, Scott Jacobs, Todd Omley, Mike Dill, Drew Brown, Coach White, J. R. McDonald, Micky Ward, Kenny Roberts, Thomas Haire, Polly Tras, Lanier Buchanan, Lisa Smith, Tara Carr, Kim Oleson, Brad Walker, Beth Brown, Sally Chamblis, Krista Hennington, Tracy Strong, and Channie Christian. 1) These are the top seeded players on both teams: Tara Carr, Beth Brown, Kim Oleson, J.R. McDonald, Drew Brown, Mike Dill, and Todd Omley. 2) Beth Brown shows her dedication with long hours of practice during and after school. 3) Kim Oleson, the number one girl on tne team, shows off her great talent for tennis. 4) Brad Walker, number one on the boys' team, demonstrates how good eye contact improves chances of a good return.

She is about to begin her serve and start the game. TENNIS 127 Club swingers go to State As soon as second semester rolled around, the practice began. Everyday from the beginning of 6th period, and long into the late afternoon, the practice continued as the Choctaw golf team braved sand traps and water hazards in order to perfect their game. Finally, the practice seemed to pay-off as the season began. The 1980-81 varsity golf team was an outstanding one. They finished the season with 59 wins, 9 loses, and 2 ties. They did so well, they advanced to the District 1 Tournament. The Choctawhat- chee golfers came in first with a team total of 311, which advanced them to the State Tournament in Sarasota, Florida. Five players, John Haynes, Chris Wright, Jay Bailey, Mike Howard, and Glen Pappas, went to the State game. The team came in 12th in the State. The golf team was coached by Hal Dearman. The captain was Jay Bailey and the co-captain was Glen Pappas, each contributed to the winning year. The 1980-81 Choctawhatchee varsity Golf Team was (standing) Robert Whitherington, John Haynes, Jay Bailey, captain, Glen Pappas, co-captain, Tim Freeman, Mike Howard, (kneeling) Rob Shahid, Sue Seymour, Chris Wright, Jean Maddalena, and Billy Crusberg (not pictured). 128 GOLF 6 1) John Haynes shows the camera his best side as he tries to get out of a sandtrap, which is a lot easier said than done. 2) Jean Maddalena is shown addressing the ball.

O'Grady, B. Crusberg, Jackson. 130 SOCCER Soccer — a kick in the grass! 7 8 When a new sport is introduced in an area, it is expected that it will take a few years before it is readily accepted or a team is able to excel in it. Not so was the case this time when the widely popular game of soccer came to Choctaw this year. In its first year of existence the soccer team claimed the District Championship and put hopes of even better seasons in tne future. Led by seniors Mark Carl and Rob Brady and junior Andy Clarke, the soccer team disposed of all their opponents and defeated Ft. Walton Beach to advance to the District Playoffs. Defending District Champions Pensacola Woodham became the prey and eventually the victim of Chocta- whatchee as Mark Carl scored the lone goal and won the game, 1-0. Coach Billy Mikel highly praised the entire team and is excited for what lies in store for the soccer team as they have established yet another Choctawhat- chee milestone — Big Green Soccer. 9 SOCCER 131 Swimmers stroke to State All those cold and early morning hours, fighting off iceburgs and pool sharks, paid off for the Choctaw swim team with another district title. The boys, led by team Captain Steve Chastain, overcame their nearest opponent by 190 points, qualifying 8 swimmers for the state championships. There they finished tenth against the best teams in Florida. Chastain again provided the example while on his way to becoming Choctaw's first swimming high school All American. Crawford, Few, Dominiak and Chastain combined to set a new school 400 free relay record with a time of 3:21.2. The girls team brought home the district trophy despite stiff competi- tion, also qualifying 8 swimmers for the state meet. Strong performances by Captain Diane Dean and diver Vicky Boswell sparked the team. Multiplying it all out, it came to 10,667 miles the teams stroked to arrive at these results. Individual and team effort were all part of making the 1981 season a success.

SWIMMING 133 Team pins their opponents Wrestling, one of the most grueling and demanding sports, is also one of the most misunderstood. It is not merely a group of strong men trying to pin each other, but rather a time-consuming, disciplined art. Choctaw's wrestling team chalked up 12 wins to only 5 loses. After hours and hours of practice the team members had only 6 minutes a match to make their hard work pay off. The six wrestlers who attended District were Pat Mauler, Rob Neale, Jim Forakes, Greg Johnson and John McGaft. Continuing on to State were Mike Mauler, Mike Bouchard, John Huston and most valuable player of the year, Burke Baker. Drawing record crowds during the '81 season the sport had come a long way from its introduction to the school in 1977. The 80-81 Choctawhatchee wres- tling team with their accomplishments and impressive 12 and 5 record had once again proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that Choctaw is number one.

WRESTLING 135 The '81 Choctaw team ended the 1981 season with 17 wins, 9 losses, and 1 tie. Throughout the season Choctaw won six district games which earned them the District Title. They advanced into the Regional Tournament where they were defeated by Tate 3-4. Nevertheless the team spirit and excitement overuled their loss. At the end of the year several members were honored for outstanding achieve- ments. Among those Kevin Krueger, Steve Hill, Jim Schroeder, and Rusty Fendick were chosen as All- Conference selections. Kevin Krueger was also awarded the MVP. Pitching awards were earned by Steve Hill and Jim Schroeder. The Hustle Award went to Randy Faircloth while Rusty Fendick received the Hitting Award. The Junior Varsity team also came out on top, ending the season with a fantastic 12-0 record. The Junior Varsity MVP was awarded to Darrel Faircloth. The 1981 team was great, but they will always be growing better.

Though the team lacked experience, they showed an unbelievable yearning to build stamina, learn plays, and do their best. Even though the high hopes for a successful season were not reached this year, the Choctawhatchee High softball team planned to overcome defeat in the coming seasons. Rather than the conventional banquet held at a club or restaurant, the softball team chose to celebrate the end of the year with a pool party held at the home of first baseman, Donna Ross. Although the party was not the traditional banquet, the awards presented were traditional. Earning awards for their hard work was Nancy Bower, Most Valuable Player; Tina Maples, Most Improved Player and Leslie Starkel who earned the Hustle Award. 4 140 SOFTBALL 5 First row: Leesa Lloyd, Wendy Griffin, Tina Maples, Carol Boatwright, Maureen Horgan.

Although the season was not a successful one, they per- severed until the end, never even hinting of giving up, a quality not rare to Choctawhatchee Indians. They began the year with grueling practices starting about two weeks before the year began for most of Choctawhatchee's students and continued on. The Varsity Volleyball team saw victory only twice during 1981, and yet felt victory every time they entered the court, for they were Indians and their pride as Indians enabled them to hold their heads high. The team's Most Valuable Player was Jill Miller. A true asset to the halls of Choctaw High, she led the team to victory over both Rutherford and Bay. 1980-1981's Varsity Volleyball team did not go unrecognized this year. 7 VOLLEYBALL 143 It looks like the lady Indian track team has made it through another successful season. Between running and jumping and then doing it some more, the team's hard work and dedication has paid off. Coach High, the hard working girl's track coach, said that he was very pleased with the results of this year's endeavors and is truly looking forward to the success of next year. They finished this season off with a celebration at the big track and field banquet. All the girls had a good time and especially Van Scott, who was named the number one senior on the girl's track team for the 1980-81 season. Van said that she was both pleased and surprised to have received that honor. Some of the other girls then teased Van for her absurd modesty. The team also boasted it's fantastic mile relay team that placed thirteenth in the entire state of Florida. It looks like one win after another for these great girls. The 1980-81 girls track team under the coaching of Mr. Chip High are as follows: Back row: Esther Jacobs, mgr., Trudy Robinson, Brenda Yates, Angela Boston, Rene Eller, Debbie Rancid, Neecy Bethune, Bonnie Blalock, Katherine Davidson, Sandy Peacock, Cathy Pope, Karen Hennessy, mgr. Center row: Chris Beverage, Mary Ann Poquito, Harriett Copeland, Laura Partin, Debbie Fetid, Van Scott, Barbara Boil. Front row: Laura Roberts, Denise Baldwin, Jenny Davis, Rene Baldwin.

The 1980-81 boys track team claimed this year as another victory for Choctaw. Under the influence of Coach Reed, they finished up the year with a 5-0 record for their Dual-Tri Meets. The team managed to place in the top three at such events as the News Journal Classic and the Chad- bourne Invitational. The team then went on to become county champions when they qualified 13 in the regional meet. Russel Bently then went on to qualify for state competition where he placed 10th against many other competitors. Coach Reed explained the teams success by saying, Just plain hard work and dedication. It was a well balanced team with everybody contributing. We owe a lot to seniors Arthur Humphrey, Mike Kasch, Scott Marshall, Pete Pappaceno, John Pennock, Jerome Pride and all the others for their great leadership. I'm really looking forward to a good season next year. 8 9 TRACK AND FIELD 147 academicsacademicsacad Here’s to our studies, the only reason we had Choctaw High in the first place Here’s to those great teachers who helped us understand so many complicated concepts. Here’s to homework every night and tests every week. Here’s to hours and hours of essential preparation for a worthwhile and fulfilling future. Academics - ACADEMICS 149 1) Some lime in speech class was not spent speaking. Kelly Parker shows her talent with pantomime. 2) Mr. Salter is amusing students by making jokes about test scores. 3) |oe Stevenson turns from his experiment for a moment to watch a pretty girl go by. 4) Filling balloons with vile smelling gas, JR McDonald smiles with delight at his plan of setting them off after school. 2 5 150 BASICS Basies learned at Choctaw In the last decade, education has taken a more conservative view and emphasis has been on the basics. Choctaw joined the trend towards back to basics by adding new classes in math and English. Among these new classes was gifted English which offered the student a chance to work on research projects of his own choosing. Advanced placement math and English were new courses which gave seniors credit which could be applied towards college. The math and English depart- 6 ments also offered a variety of traditional classes ranging from basic grammar to mass media and from basic consumer math to more advanced Math V. Always popular at Choctaw, the science classes were again large and varied. Classes ranged from the basics of general science to the advanced Chemistry II, physics, and anatomy. It was apparent that students at Choctaw were given the opportunity to meet their own needs while gaining a good background in the basics. 5) Molly Goodrich isn't quite sure of the new trigonometry assignment. 6) Mr. Ledoux's strive for academic excellence is only surpassed by his desire to boggle students' minds. 7) Don Fowler is practicing video taping one of his classmate's oral reports in gifted English. 8) Steve Gordon and Pete Papacino, the bride and groom respectively, stage a mock wedding in oral comm. BASICS 151 1 1) R.O.T.C. affords students the opportunity to learn marching skills and the proper presenta- tion of the colors. 2) Chorusline? No, its the new aerobic dance class included in the recreational P.E. program. 3) Tension builds up as Randy Garrett puts his best foot forward in drivers education. 4) Beth Brown shows her artistic expertise while drawing on a scratchboard. 152 ACADEMICS No boundaries to learning The learning process at Choctaw was not limited to the confines of the classroom. Many classes were held in less traditional style. These classes consisted of drivers education, tennis, recreational p.e., oral communications, mass media, drama, industrial arts, and business skills. A multitude of these classes were designed to prepare graduates for life after high school. Through the application of prac- tical skills, students learned the basics of acting, communication skills, and television and film-making in drama, oral communications, and mass media. The industrial arts department provid- ed development in drafting and shop. Drafting focused on geometric design and freehand sketching, whereas shop focused on construction in welding and building structures. These classes, although informal in structure, provid- ed knowledge that would be invalu- able to the student in his future endeavors. 5) Appearances may be deceiving as Leslie Timmerman and Marc Filion film a commercial for mass media. 6) Hey! Look at Prue singin' the blues. 7) Daniel Barnes perfects his techniques with the sander in shop. 8) In oral communications Pete Pappaceno and Steve Gordon show that what goes up sometimes stays there. 9) Drafting requires complete concentration and a steady hand from Mark Simmons. 10) Don Schlueter, the new John Denver! 8 Experience a Students at Choctawhatchee were very fortunate to have the excellent science and foods programs that they had in the school. One primary reason for the success of these programs was that they offered students a chance to teach themselves through laboratory work. Believing firmly in the old adage that experience is the best teacher, Choctaw students took advantage of the classes that offered lab work. Popular courses such as anatomy, chemistry, physics, and foods offered world of lab days of lab work so that each student had the chance to find out for himself how things work and what other things are made of. Whether the lab involved dissecting the eye, mixing chemicals, demonstrating the law of gravity, or making a gourmet dinner, students gained knowledge that they could surely utilize elsewhere. It was this characteristic that played a very important role in helping to make the science and foods programs at Choc- taw the very best they could be. 2 1) Jay Bailey tries earnestly to revive a teacher who passed out while grading his test. 2) Steve Chastain puts his whole heart into his anatomy dissection while Terri Parks prefers to just watch. 3) Jon Stone lives out his favorite fantasies of being the mad scientist. 4) Mike Bouchard laughs at the idea of Tim Shingler attempting to find a cure for cancer. 154 LAB WORK 1) Lisa Jeffcoat and Sergio Eckstein wait for their chemical reaction to take place. 2) Cathy Hannah gets a closer look at her work. 3) Eddie Brightwell and Cary Vanvors better themselves in their favorite hobby — eating. 4) Mike Collins and Steve Cordon learn how to use a knife. 5) An avid fan of Julia Child, Robert Mann creates his own feast fit for a king. LAB WORK 155 Homework is Homework makes you ugly! This slogan described the opinion of most Choc- taw students. Unfortunately most teachers didn't share that opinion. The students definition of homework was what you didn't finish in class. The teachers definition of homework was an extra assignment to do along with what you didn't finish before. Homework took many forms and appeared as a reading assignment for Advanced Placement English, exercises 1-6 for Business Math, or perfecting copy for Annual Staff.

Homework to the right of me! Homework in front of me! I don't want to do it! says Philip Herman. 3) Our cameraman caught Lisa Arnold and Tommy Courtney sharing notes as Marcel Aigret ignores them both. 156 HOMEWORK % ?! % 0 $ %!!! chose to retreat to the library to do their homework, or to do it in study hall, or to just do it in some other class. Some people even took their homework home to do it. Then there were those who did it just before it should be turned in. Last of all were those who didn't do homework at all. These were the students who used excuses like I got sick last night and My mother got sent to the hospital last night. Then the favorite was The dog ate it. 1) Clark Harju is obviously more interested in Van Halen than in his algebra assignment. 2) Karen Cofer believes that doing homework at school is better than doing homework at home. 3) Her latest flame and not the homework assignment is what occupies Patricia Holston's mind. 4) Instead of eating lunch Sammy Chambless retreats into a typing room to do his homework. 5) Brenda Moy checks her homework assignment with Suzanne Jones. 6) This poor victim shows that homework really does make you ugly. Endless endeavor pays off! Good, better, best; never let it rest, until the good gets better and the better gets best. Such was the philosophy of the student in any practice class. The members of P.E., art, guitar, Driver's Education, chorus, cheerleading. Varsi- ty Sports, and band classes all agreed that practice made perfect for the 1980-81 school year. These classes held for each member a unique challenge; whether it be rigorous activity, strenuous exercise, aesthetic endeavor, trial and error, or any combination of these elements. Each class demanded time and dedication, and many required hours of exhausting extracurricular practice; however, the results of such hard work made each taxing moment worthwhile. Guided by their teachers, these students put forth products worthy of Big Green Pride, a pride from which they could derive spirit and satisfaction. 2 i 1. An unidentified student braces himself for the rigors of the notorious driver's ed course, in which students eagerly endeavor to avoid the dreaded cones. 2. Jill Miller looks anxiously at her coach hoping that she won't have to go back on the court and work. 3. The football team takes a break from the rigorous practice. The players use these light practices to store up energy for the following day's game. 158 PRACTICE 1. The success of the versatile Stylemarchers is a result of much practice and preparation. 2. The cheerleaders use sixth period to prepare their cheers for presentation at pep rallies. 3. Tom Hawkins, David McDonald, and Chris Howland practice difficult music techniques in their guitar class. 4. Many hours of dedication and hard work were the keys to John Guzalak's success in his performing of such works as Cyrano de Berqerac and the lead role of West Side Story. PRACTICE 159 Agony of tests burden all Just about the time most people were preparing for Christmas and New Year, Choctawhatchee students had an extra big occasion to look forward to — final exams. It was hard to concentrate on studying a semester's worth of material during this time of year, but somehow it all worked out. Not long after, however, there were more finals to study for. But, this time it was even harder to concentrate, because this time was right at summer- time. With the weather getting warmer and the sun shining brighter, the last thing Choctaw students needed to know was that the whole semester's grade depended on one test. Neverth- eless, this, too, somehow worked out. If misery loves company, just remember that everyone had to go through the agony of finals. But even still, it surely felt good when it was all over. Finally, summer arrived. There would be no more tests to worry about, or no more grades to worry about . . . that is until next semester. 4 1) Lisa Arnold is in a state of shock after discovering her test notes are missing from her locker. 2) Karen Cofer tries diligently to fill in the answers. 3) Suzanne Gregory and Shawn Wells are stunned by the difficulty of the semester test. 4) Brenda Moy is amused by the test that everyone else seems to have trouble with. 160 FINALS 5 5) Mandy Seale concentrates on an answer as Suzanne Jones finishes up her test. 6) During the warm months many students took to the outdoors for a break from studies. 7) Kent Carter finds his pencil more interesting than his study guide. 8) Kitty O'Rourke and Kendall Bludworth are so involved in their work that they don't even notice that their neighbor is breaking his neck. peoplepeoplepeoplepeople 162 PEOPLE Here’s to you, who made Choctaw everything that it was. Here’s to students and teachers alike who worked together and apart to give Choctaw its special identity. Here’s to you, the one part of our school we could never have done without.

Amid the roar was heard the grades received on the tests of previous days and drilling for tests to come. Yes, lunch was a time for catching up on homework and studying for tests but, most of all, lunch was a time for fun. 1) Talina Thompson bears a look of anguish after sitting in a puddle of jello cunningly placed there by her friends. 2) The cafeteria provides a place for Gladys Bertram and her peers to socialize. 3) Diane Jennette attempts a maneuver common to the women of India as she balances Mike Barney's tray on her head. 4) David Adair hopes that grace will improve his daily bread. 5) Elizabeth Lambrides tackles the newly constructed obstacle course during her lunch period. Can this be done without food spillage? A While the teaching staff is hard at work nourishing the mind, the lunchroom staff is preparing nourishment for the body. The hard working staff consists of seventeen women who are (standing from left to right) Dolores Bently, Doris Arnold, Tommie Alexander, Alice Patrick, Mildred Headley, Nancy Storm, Oneita Harrell, Betty Richburg, Barbara Roberts, Francoise Mitchell, Velma Burrows, Marie Ireland, Doris Robinson, (seated) Anna Williamson, Sarah Allen, Naomi Frazier, and Hazel Ricketts.

Their achievements are its legacy for future classes to model after. The seniors of 1981 had several leaders who time and time again were relied upon whether it was school competition or other extra curricular activities. These seniors proved that hard work and dedication are the keys to any objective and the recognition of their outstanding leader- ship is represented in this tribute to them.

In order to lead this body of 580 students, officers were elected to conduct the many activities of the class. The 1980-81 officers were President, Maureen McVey; Vice President, Tracy Gifford; Secretary, Sonia Friderici; Treasurer, Suzanne Gregory; and Historian, Greg Stillman. These officers helped guide the Juniors in designing and constructing a Homecoming float and in raising money and preparing for the Junior- Senior Prom. The class also honored two of their favorite juniors; Alan Armstrong and Lisa Arnold. i what it takes 4 Cheryl Bufkin David Burge Anita Burden Carol Burgess Jerome Burkett Susan Burkey David Burson Julia Burnett Cindy Burns Dennis Bytel 216 JUNIORS 7 1) The 1980-81 Junior class officers were President, Maureen McVey; Vice-President, Tracy Gifford; Secretary, Sonia Friderici; Trea- surer, Suzanne Gregory; and Historian, Greg Stillman. 2) President Maureen McVey gives the signal to move on to new buisness, such as their float. 3) Through Alan Armstrong's many activities such as FCA, Madrigals, Key Club, and in football, he has presented the enthusiasm that has become the trademark of the Class of '82. 4) The finished product of the juniors' hardwork and dedication took second prize in competi- tion. 5) Lisa Arnold, showing some of the spirit that helped her win the prestigious title of Junior Class Favorite, is also an avid member of the varsity cheerleading squad, Wheelettes, FCA, and was also the Junior Homecoming Attendant. 6) This recipe for success illustrates the theme for the Junior Class float. 7) Lisa Arnold and Alan Armstrong serve as the Junior Class favorites. 8) Attentive juniors listen in on discussions of the Junior Class plans for raising money for the Junior-Senior Prom.

T-shirts ranging from rock groups to ethnic groups and from Mickey Mouse in Disneyworld to Fort Walton Beach, Florida seemed to appear more and more each passing day. T-shirts, a favorite souvenir of tourists any time of the year, seemed to increase in popularity every year. Airbrushed and iron-on T-shirts alike were a hobby in themselves and a great method of self expression. 9 John Flint Lisa Fisher Kenneth Flowers Barbara Flynn Paul Forbrich Donald Fowler Sharon Franco Joanna Frangos Sarita Frazier Timothy Freeman JUNIORS 221 juniorclassjuniorclassjuniorclassjuni Lisa Fretina Sonia Friderici Raymond Fuller Vicky Fuller Kelly Funchess Pamela Gainey Jillore Gamble David Gander Kimberly Gates Kelley Gault Angela Gautreaux Donald Gieseking Tracy Gifford Thomas Gillen Roland Godwin Laura Goodall Molly Goodrich Mary Gossman Robert Graydon Kara Greene Suzanne Gregory )ay Grisham Laura Groark Michael Guidry Chris Hall Laurie Haller Tina Hallman Lori Hancock Elizabeth Hannah David Hanson 222 JUNIORS orclassjuniorclassjuniorclassjuniorcl Robin Harmon Micki Harrell Troy Harris Lisa Harrison Mark Harrison James Hart Todd Hartley Lloyd Hartman Andrea Harville John Haynes Todd Healy Tracy Healy Gary Heapy James Hearon Elise Heinrich Randal Henne Krista Henningson Ken Henry Phillip Hermann Mark Herrington Cynthia Hicks Jimmy Hicks Stephen Hill Barbara Hilton Charles Hoffman Jeffrey Holder Sharon Horton John Houser Jill Howard Melanie Howard JUNIORS 223 juniorclassjuniorclassjuniorclassjuni Wei Shu Hsu Antonia Huelsman Debbie Huggins Monty Huggins Betsy Hulsey Rhonda Humphries Cheryl Hunter James Hunter Maxwell Hunter Gary Hutcheson Vicky Isgate Cecil Jackson Dorothy Jackson Wanda Jackson Scott Jacobs Diane Jennette Eric Jenrich Eric Jenson Roy Jeter Jestin Johnson Libby Johnson Ranada Johnson Lelia Joines Carolyn Jones Pam Jones Sheryl Jones Robert Jordan James Joy Nancy Kaiser Mary Kazmer 224 JUNIORS orclassjuniorclassjuniorclassjuniorcl Cheryl Kelley Sharon Kelly Paul Kendrick David Kessler Jackie Kessler Robert Keuvelaar Elizabeth King Teresa Kinlaw Curtis Kirby Jeffery Kirby Heather Kirk Curtis Kirkland Steve Kirkpatrick Pamela Kistner Deborah Kramer Monica Kuhns Rebecca Kyzar Elizabeth Lambrides Agneta Landegren Rebecca Lange Jureda Langston Sharon Lectka Robert Lenentine Carla Leonard Bo Lewis Nancy Lewis Laura Lindley Lisa Lindsey Aaron Lippincott Dennis Litka JUNIORS 225 till: GUtEGJt Ecstatic triumph and bitter tragedy heralded the dawning of the Eighties for our nation and the world at large. The United States' immediate concern in the early months of 1980 were the 52 American hostages held by the Islamic nation of Iran. In April the first tragedy struck on our doorstep when five Hurlburt Field crewmen perished in an aborted rescue attempt in the Iranian desert. Coals of fire were literally heaped on our heads in May when Washington State's Mount St. Helens erupted with demonic fury. The summer of 1980 was no less eventful, especially where our communist neighbors were con- cerned. Moscow gave the party of the year (namely the Summer Olympics) but America refused to attend in protest against their unscrupulous winter invasion of Afghanistan. Cuba, in contrast, sent us permanent guests — wave after wave of Cuban refugees flooded Florida and Fort Walton's very own Camp Liberty. By November the world's atten- tion had turned to who would be the next American president and who shot ).R. (not necessarily in that order). Ronald Reagan and J.R.'s ex-mistress Kristin Shepard won out. In fact, Reagan was elected in an un- precedented landslide victory, yet his inauguration was overshadowed by an event every American had waited for. By 12:10 p.m. on Inauguration Day, after 444 days of captivity, the 52 hostages were on their way home. Ex-president Jimmy Carter, who had struggled so long to gain their release, met them in Wiesbaden, Germany. President Reagan and the rest of the United States jointly greeted the freed hostages in a Washington ceremony complete with yellow ribbons and impromptu ticker tape parades. A short two months later the nation united in outrage when John Hinkley Jr., 25, of Evergreen, Colorado attempted to assassinate President Reagan. The incident took place outside Hilton International Ballroom in Washington D.C. Six shots were fired; Reagan received one in his left lung and three others were wounded. Grieved and apprehensive, the nation waited to be notified of the President's condition. The first report was that he had walked into George Washington University Hospital and that later he had quipped to First Lady Nancy, Honey, I forgot to duck. Obviously, 226 THE YEAR IN REVIEW 4 9 SVUGjt LlLLV UlLt all would soon be well on Capitol Hill.

Their plans included such exciting things as attending football games, basketball games, and parties; seeing movies; eating pizza with friends; getting in places without getting carded ; strolling on the beach; and congregat- ing in McDonald's parking lot. Some weekend time was spent on a more mundane level through industrious work at various places of occupation or intent study for challenging classes; however, the issue of weekend fun was never overlooked. No matter how time was spent, each student's weekend was filled with events that created memor- ies to be cherished forever. 3 4 Christine Newcomer Malwry Newman Erin O'Brien Leon Oldham Brenda Oliver Renee Olschlager Joan O'Rourke Joanne Osborn Mary Osieczanek Renee Overstreet 230 JUNIORS 1) Randy Walker, Nancy Lewis, and John Sipos put on the charm when the camera showed up at the ever popular McDonald's parking lot.

JUNIORS 237 How to get from here to there Whether Mustang, moped or motorcycle, a teenager is not complete without his own set of wheels. Next to sporting an alligator on one's shirt, a functioning automotive is the supreme status symbol; and the always crowded parking lot attested to Choctaw students' keen social consciences. Sports cars, jeeps and Bugs were among the most popular mode of transportation, a fact which might be linked to the surge in gasoline prices (some gas stations demanded as much as $1.32 per gallon). A car was quite expensive. A few souls gave up automobiles altogether and hopped into the moped craze. A moped, which might be described as the missing link between a bicycle and a motorcycle, is not really as fast as a Trans Am but it is equiped with free airconditioning. Free spirits enjoyed traveling to school on bicycles or motorcycles, yet their problems were much akin to their moped brothers. Sudden thunder- storms, German Shepards and grocery bags were a few drawbacks with which a cyclist had to contend and battle daily. Of course the best way to start a morning was to be crowded in a seat containing three other bodies on a school bus barreling down Racetrack Road. At least students were provided with free transportation; plus a chance to complete homework before class. 238 TRANSPORTATION depends on what you can bear 1) Parking is fairly easy at Choctaw, you simply find an empty spot on level ground (it doesn't matter if it's designated as a parking place) and park. 2) No, this isn't a Star Wars creation, just the engine of a convertible. Automobile fanatics believe cleanliness is a necessity for the interior as well as the exterior. 3) Lloyd Bullock enjoys the currently popular sport of four- wheeling or as some describe it — mudslinging. 4) This couple of kissin' cars were discovered in a clinch and reported for a PDA offense. The owners had to come and move them. 5) Automobile artwork is becoming a common sight on high school campuses. This Mustang also has a sunroof. 6) David Beverly's van sports the insignia of a true Floridian — a beach scene tag. 7) Jeeps are extremely good to take four-wheeling, but they're even better to park jauntily at school and impress less fortunates. 8) Some people use music to express them- selves, some sport T-shirts with revealing slogans, others merely plaster bumper stickers all over the rear of their car for all the world to behold.

The students chosen by their class were Robin Davis, president; Malaina Johnson, vice-president; Laurie Roark, secretary; Marlene Augustus, treasurer; and Janine Ebeoglu, historian. During their year in office the officers organized the major projects assigned to the sophomore class including Senior Appreciation and the Homecoming Float. Another traditional Choctaw activity was the selection of class favorites. The sophomore class chose as their favorites two outstanding students, Jody Strawser and Kent Feely. Jody represented the class as sophomore Homecom- ing attendant, while Kent played on the junior varsity football team.

After the box office hit Urban Cowboy appeared, students were seen wearing cowboy hats, boots, and other western gear. Another popular fad from Texas was the oft-heard question, Who Shot J.R.? It was the year of the preppy look. Girls were donned in bows, braids, and bangs. The styles went from baggy jeans to khaki pants, from topsiders to pumps, and from pleats to plaids.

But it won't matter Where we are. Things will change And yet They'll remain the same No matter how Distant from our eyes They seem to be. Someday soon, The things we're doing now Will be memories. Pictures In dusty frames. Faded roses Sitting on the dresser. All that we want out of life Will either be ours, or a thought Lost In some Forgotten dream. Someday soon We'll stop this crazy Runaround. We'll start taking new paths Some, lonely side roads. Other, highways to be remembered. Things will be different And yet The memories Will remain the same. The things we've Said and done Will all come back Someday soon.

Several of the films released featured not-so-famous actors that were not involved in the strike. One such example was Friday the 13th which became a big hit. At an informal poll taken during lunch, CHS chose Styx as their favorite group and Paradise Theater as their preferred album. Contrary to the leading group and album, Back in Black was Choctaw's favorite song.

ADVERTISEMENTS 321 Sixth period For most of Choctaw's students, sixth period was the last hour of the day — a time for goofing off and dreaming of afternoon plans. However, for the Tomahawk Staff of 1981, sixth period was a frantic time. It was a time for arranging last-minute group shots, searching for a crop-wheel, and writing copy. As usual, the '81 staff had its fun and its slack times, but the hard work of the students and one devoted teacher was what produced the yearbook. fun, frantics, frenzy for 1981 Yearbook Staff members 14 1) Kyle Tidwell tries to create an eye-catching design for his soccer pictures. 2) Beth Baker stares blankly at some pictures while Amy Kuhn slowly falls asleep. 3) Shawn Wells grins at Michelle Geary's non-annual artwork. 4) Toad Fairy refuses to turn into a handsome prince even after threats of suffocation from Lynne Hill's hair. 5) Some of the 1980-81 Tomahawk staff; Carolyn Zuberbuhler, Waylynne Bell, and John Houser, hard at work. 6) Roz Barnhill tries to amuse herself at the chalkboard. 7) Suzanne Jones, business manager is in charge of all finances for the staff. 8) A rousted Tracy Ton gives a smile of relief after she finishes her work just before deadline. 9) Doug Crawford enjoys his favorite pastime — hall-roaming. 10) Jon Bush gives a sadistic grin that all photographers are famous for. 11) Lee Sutton grins and bears H while he picks his way through some time-consuming work. 12) Danny Gross checks to make sure he has the correct type of film. 13) Beth Baker and David Vicker waltz across the room and through sixth period. 14) Ronny Evanchyk and Susan Duff involve themselves in some extra curricular activities. 15) John Price pretends to be a photographer. 15 TOMAHAWK 323 1 5 1) Cheryl Tatum and Cami Lovell work diligently on some copy. 2) Robyn Leonard spares only a moment for a click of the camera. 3) Pam Bixby makes a plea for extra time to Mrs. Jones in order to complete her work. 4) Renee Shapley is exasperated while GQ model Dallas Coffield hams it up. 5) Dedicated photographer Mike Blatchley files negatives of pictures. 6) Fitting pictures into alloted page spaces is a big job as Tina Jackson well knows. 7) Kelly Brown, the staff sex symbol, gives an alluring look. 324 TOMAHAWK Ttank oii all for working with me and standing behind me and helping me out.- ----1 Kim Veal No. pages — 332 No copies — 900 Printer — Walsworth Publishing Company j_____ Paper — 70 pound yearbook enamel Body copy — 10 pt.
