The new year started off with the return of the mini skirts in many styles. Walking shorts were another style that showed off the legs. A more springy style was the sailor look. This was a sharp new fashion. Undoubtedly the biggest fashion craze was the tuxedo look, for both girls and guys. It was a new and im- pressive look for the girls. One of he other latest styles, the prairie skirt, brought cowboys up to date. A fad that hit it off well with everyone were the sweat shirts. These were also a surfing favorite. There was a style of shirt for everyone. With the change of every year is also the change of fashion at Choc- taw. 2 1.

It was one of every- body's favorite weeks — initiation. New members went through times of building memories, while old members relived the past. The members had their fun getting re- venge on the initiates. Initiates were seen doing hilarious antics such as rolling down halls or skipping along singing their favorite childhood tunes. They were always trying to avoid other club members. If caught they could be forced to hand over all they got — candy that is. Some of the traditions carried through from year to year were 3 seen in the replicas of Raggedy Anns, baby lions, jumping beans, big birds, clowns, fairies and many more. The costumes were just as much fun to look at as all the action. Initiation was not the only exciting thing happening during that week. All of the club members worked hard putting together their floats. The float workshops lasted till all hours of the night. Then it all fell into place the day of the parade, which took place before the Choctaw- Pine Forest game. This proved to be a memorable time for all. — Kathy Kelley 12 HOMECOMING 1.

It seemed like every other Friday night, with a football game matching the Indians against the Pine Forest Eagles. But this night was extraordinary, for it began with a parade. The theme for Homecoming 1982 was Choctaw: A Word of Many Memories. Each club was assjgned an aspect of Choctaw's history which was to be the theme of their float. Winning entries were the Sophomore Class, with A Sopho- more's Journey Begins, and Octa- gon and Optimiss with After Hours. Each organization's officer's rode in a car preceding their club's float. The parade also included Miss Angie Rimes, Homecoming Queen for 1981 and her escort Keith Bryan, former ICC Chairman. Parents, students, faculty, and fans were treated to an exciting football game in which the Choc- taw Indians crushed the Pine Forest Eagles. Post-game festivities includ- ed the Homecoming Party, spon- sored by Student Council, held at the Blue Horizon on Okaloosa Island. Everyone agreed these were the things memories are made of. — Candi Campbell 3 4 14 HOMECOMING CHOCTAW OF mm 1.1982 class attendants and their es- corts Laura Moody. Steve Flint. Ann McCombs.

True Big Green Indian spirit ran rampant through the crowded gym as the weekly pep rallies swung into action. The memorable pep rallies were the climax in each busy week. They began by the astounding Style Marchers, who led the student body and cheerleaders into an uproar of enthusiasm. The spirit and eagerness of the students, faculty, and alumni was fantastic. Many clubs and hon- or societies held sign paintings and made munchies and gifts for the football players. Each individual class showed a lot of spirit in the weekly competition to determine the most spirited class. Seniors kept up the Choctaw tradi- tion by being the most school spirit- ed. The seniors were so spirited that the junior and sophomore class did not stand a chance against them. The Madrigals and pep band helped build the enthusiasm with their musi- cal talents, while the Indianettes im- pressed the audience with their dy- namic routines. Through a combina- tion of efforts the entire student body, faculty, and parents partici- pated in the 7-Up School Spirit Con- test at the culmination on the foot- ball season. .. .. — Nancye Moree A time for sun and surf Once the final bell had rung students entered their favorite time of the year, SUMMER. The long awaited season had arrived and everyone was free from books and studying. Many headed for the beautiful white beaches of our area. The girls worked all summer to achieve a golden tan characteristic to Florida; while the guys avidly watched the waves and perfected their surfing talents. Sailing attracted many stu- dents and their sails seemed to fill up the bayous and gulf. Summer nights brought on a new atmosphere. At dusk a glorious sun- set was always produced on the western horizon. Young couples could be found taking romantic walks along the shore in the glisten- ing moonlight. Blue Ridge, another summer event, was a break from the Florida beaches to the mountains of North Carolina. It gave the students a chance to meet people from differ- ent places as well as get to know their friends and themselves better. The summer drew to a close and students dreaded the return of school. They were reminiscent of their summer days and how they were spent. — Michele Harris 4 18 SUMMERTIME 8 1.

As the 1983 Youth-Legislature Pro- gram began, the tedious task of re- searching bills started. A series of meetings was held to help with ideas for bills and to teach debate techniques to Choctaw delegates. Friday morning started with a joint session in the House Chamber, after which the legislators went to their respective chambers and began their sessions. While the legislators were debating, lobbyists observed and sent information to the legisla- tors. and the judicial program met in the newly restored old capitol. Saturday, delegates met for a last joint session and awards were presented. Danny O'Rourke and Kenny Roberts sponsored the Best Bill in the Senate. Jack Binger, first runner-up for Outstanding States- man in the Senate, was elected 1984 Senate President. Tim Hawkey was elected to succeed Marty Les- ter as Speaker of the House Pro- Tern. Cathy Blizzard and Cathy Keefe were first runners-up for Out- standing Pages in their respective chambers.

The week of merry-making began on Monday with the theme of Shine on Big Green, and everyone wore sun glasses and visors. Tuesday and Wednesday had their themes, the latter being Outclass the Vikes, which was done by dressing up in your best. By the time Thursday night had arrived, the Indians were ready to do battle. The flashlight pep rally was a chance to build up spirit before the major pep rally on Friday morning. This was highlighted by the voices of Cathi Perret, Toni Drago, and Prue Tippins. The band stirred the crowd with several pieces and concluded the night with the alma mater. As parents, students, and teachers flocked into the gym on Friday morning, the sounds of Big Green echoed across the floor. Cheering rang throughout the halls, and this enthusiasm carried over throughout the night. A win over the Vikes was the result of a well played game by the Indians. — Mike Bazerque 26F.W.B. WEEK 1.

This brought the end of a delightful and amusing evening. — Amy Kuhn Renee Schapley MR. MOCK 2 ? Always had it always will The abundance of spirit at Choctaw has always been a strong point that made it spe- cial. This past year this spirit was put to the test in a national contest sponsored by the 7-UP company. Four-hundred other schools were entered in this contest and out of these, five were to be chosen over-all to be narrowed to one winner in the spring. The school and student body went all-out in preparation for the judges arrival on the day of the CHS vs. FWB pep rally. The halls were a mass of green and white decorations and spirit signs from every club covered the walls. The students themselves were fired-up and ready to show 7-UP that CHS had the most enthusiasm and pride than any other school in the nation. In early March, the hard work proved to pay off with the announcement that Choc- tawhatchee had been chosen as one of the five most spirited schools in the nation. This meant that there was one more judging they had to go through for the 7-UP company. Another pep rally was given, this time for na- tional judges to assess the spirit of Choctaw. This brought on community recognition from city officials and businesses alike. This time CHS was going for the gusto and doing ev- erything possible to get it. Choctaw was on its way to proving itself 1 as it always has been and will be. — Amy Kuhn Renee Schapley 30 7 UP DAY 1.

The news came through a phone call to Mr. Bounds and within minutes it spread like wild fire. The school and community went all out to stage a showing of pride and spirit that evidently overwhelmed the judges. From airline stewardesses in headdresses, to green carpets rolled out, to airbrushed bedsheets in the judges' rooms, they made sure the judges saw spirit and community pride wherever they looked. The first place award meant Choctaw would receive a school van painted to its specifications. Mr. Bounds was quoted as saying, “The van is a symbol that they could give to us on a piece of paper, but the honor is the reward. — Renee Schapley Amy Kuhn I. 8� y Bob from WXQ stands In astonishment at the crowd. 2.

Working for the weekend The Student at Choctaw put as much emphasis on partying” and having fun as they did on aceing tests. Each weekend, students could be found at a friends party or socializing with the crowd at J.C. beach Last summer the beach was by far the most popular place to be. The surfers at Choctaw impressed the tourist and other beach goers with their awesome cuts and slashes during the days in which waves were up. Skimboarding was another popu- lar activity last summer that got alot of people out to the beaches. Skimming across the wet sand and carving into the deep water turned many students into die hard” skimboarders. Sailing was enjoyed by the stu- dents lucky enough to have a boat, or a good friend with one. Spending long summer days on the bayous drifting with the wind was a great way to spend a day. Many students at CHS held jobs around the town, earning money for days off and college. Choctaw Indians could be found working at the Mall, restaurants and department stores. Before a big night on the town, students could be found checking out who's where and what's happening. 1 McDonalds is where Greg Howell earns his pay 2.

After an hour or so people would find a party or just cruise around from place to place looking. The game rooms in town were also popular places to go last year. Great games like Joust, Galaga, Baby Pac Man, and Stargate used up our quarters for a few minutes of fun and enjoyment. Pirate Island, Aladdin's Castle, and the new Dia- mond Jims were packed with stu- dents every evening of the week. On nights when Mom and Dad made their kids stay home there was plenty of good shows on televi- sion. Saturday Night Live and Fridays were big hits with the high school students. If you were a dramatic type there were plenty of melodra- mas to watch. Six part series such as the Winds of War could be seen, as well as. The Thornbirds. Whether it's lying on a surfboard waiting for the perfect wave to grab you up and take you scream- ing across the water, or racing down the strip meeting friends, Choctaw students did their thing with style. — Bobby Padden 34 LIFESTYLE 1.

AFTER HOURS 35 We’ve got tonight who needs tomorrow Choctaw's juniors and seniors brought the stardust in their eyes and the pastels of their prom gowns and tuxedos to Sandestin on Satur- day, May 28. The event sponsored by the Junior class, attracted more than five hundred persons. The couples began the evening with an elegant dinner at one of the best restaurants in the Fort Walton- Destin area, then proceeded to the Prom. Upon arrival at the prom, cou- ples lined up to receive their pro- grams and souvenir snifters. Many had their pictures taken, which was as much a tradition as the prom it- self. The ballroom was decorated with pink and white balloons, which were formed into arches and in bou- quets along the walls. They then danced to the music of Ambush, who played many fast and slow songs. As the prom began to draw to a close, the students drifted into the night, going to private parties and breakfasts. This event was a special one for everyone who attended. It was a mix of happiness and sadness when it was over for everyone knew it would never be the same again, but there was a bright future ahead. — Michele Harris 1.

Once there, these seniors changed into dress clothes and went out to eat before going to Disney World. Aside from the usual popular rides, other unusu- al favorites were the Peter Pan ride and the Pirates of the Carribean. Some popular concerts were Night Ranger, Steel Breeze, and the Greg Kihn Band. After this exhausting all night party, the participants re- turned to the hotel rooms to change once again into travelling clothes before the long trip home. The Senior Breakfast was seen by many as a last chance to see their classmates before graduation. At the Breakfast, the class poet, artist, and musician were announced. Then Todi Carnes gave a peer talk describing the feelings of a Choc- taw student from the time they be- gan as a sophomore all the way through graduation. Jana Guzalak read a poem, and Hope Gaither and Mr. Bounds spoke. After the breakfast, seniors took time to speak to their friends one more time before graduation. — John Webster SENIOR BREAKFAST 43 Nothing but the best for 1983!

The commenonment exercises be- gan at 8:00 in Momorial Stadium. The valedictorians each gave a speech. Mr. Bounds then an- nounced the graduating class of 1983. Before the seniors realized it, they had received a diploma and had graduated. The benediction was given and the air was the filled with hundreds of green caps. Every- one rushed on to the field to hug and to congratulate the graduates. There were a multitude of smiles and numerous amounts of tears as families and friends snapped pic- tures and recolected on past times. That momentous night every stu- dent looks forward to had arrived. 44 GRADUATION 1. As Mksheie MBer comes off the stage shot never let this paper go! 2.

The tense situation in the Middle East once again broke into war. The Israeli army tried to push the PLO from the border, and ended up pushing them all the way out of Lebanon. Around October, several people were killed by cyanide laced Tylenol. The Space Shuttle Columbia went on its fifth flight and delivered its first payload into orbit without mishap. Brezhnev's death caused much concern over future relations be- tween the superpowers, especially when the former head of the KGB, Andropov, took control after the usual power struggle. Unemployment this year almost reached the 11% mark, the highest it has been since the days of the Great Depression. But it also began a steady decline in early 1983. Also in the spring of 1983, the nation was hit by waves of rain. That, added to the melting snow, caused flooding in many areas of the country. Major controversies of the year were the budget and defense spending. — John Webster CURRENT EVENTS 49 50 STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT 1.

The King and I, by Rogers and Hammer- stein, was chosen as this year's per- formance. The story takes place in Siam, inside the castle of the king. Anna, and English schoolteacher, comes to Siam to teach the royal children who, during the course of the play, number between fourty and seventy. Conflicts arise be- tween Anna, the king, and all of the customs and cultures of the two se- perate countries. The play was both lively and entertaining, with songs and dances at every turn. Those who were included in the six audi- ences were thouroughly impressed by all the talent they saw. They ap- plauded the achievements of the group, for even though the perfor- mances ran for only one week, sev- eral months were devoured in prac- tice. The clothes and language of Siam were researched, and the final productions were an enjoyable tumble of colorful costumes and well-accented voices. The jazz band added a touch of musical fan- tasy and the play was, as always, a hit, etcetera ..., etcetera ... 7 — Jana Guzaiak PLAY 53 ARTS ANO DESIGNS SOCIETY BILLY BOWLEGS FESTIVAL BOGGY BAYOU MULLET FESTIVAL CAMELLIA SHOW COMMUNITY CHORUS FWB BALLET ASSOCIATION FWB MUSEUM OF ART GULF ARIUM INDIAN TEMPLE MOUND OKALOOSA ARTISTS AND CRAFTSMEN'S CO-OP OKALOOSA COUNTY SHRINE FAIR OKALOOSA SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA PLAYGROUND HARMONIZERS PLAYGROUND MUTUAL CONCERT ASSOCIATION STAGE CRAFTERS COMMUNITY THEATRE, INC.

Coach Dwight Thomas and his coaching staff were aware that a challenge faced them as they prepared for the '82 season. The '82 Indians started their preparations for the new season on January 16. For the players and coaches the season lasted ten long months, not just ten games. Even though the season was still eight months away, it was on this date that the team began training For the next four months, the Indians went through one of the toughest training programs that a high school football player could ever dream existed. The players put forth a lot of blood, sweat, and tears during this grueling training period. The Big Green prepared their bodies for the rough contact of football by lifting weights, running, and practic- ing. After four months of physical conditioning, the players got to put on the pads for a month of spring drills. During this period, the Big Green worked out all the little mistakes that they had in their perfor- mance. The coaching staff drilled the players very hard as the new season was just a few months off. The staff was also able to evaluate the personnel that was present on the '82 team. When the Indians completed their spring and summer practices, the Big Green began to set their sights on the approaching season Over the sum- mer, the Indians were________Con7 on pg 63 1.

VARSITY FOOTBALL 59 Niceville The date September 10 will linger in the minds of Choctaw fans for a long time. It was on this day that the Big Green gained revenge over the Niceville Eagles. An overflow crowd of 9,000 jammed into Memorial Sta- dium to witness the Indians' victory. The Indians used the big plays to score and a stubborn defense held the Eagle offense to 127 yards. Cleveland McNabb socred on runs of 33 and 78 yards to put CHS ahead at halftime. After an Eagle score, Barry Gray broke loose for a 48 yard run. Willie Bryant, George Bethune, and Hunter Harrison helped lead CHS to a 21-7 victory over NHS. Quincy Shanks Choctawhatchee posted its sec- ond win of the young season with a 35-0 victory over Quincy Shanks. The Big Green offense rolled up 346 yards total offense and the Indian defense posted its first shutout of the season. Barry Gray led the CHS runners with 87 yards on ten carries. Todd Gatlin and Cleveland McNabb both scored two touchdowns while Cedric Williams scored one. The CHS defense was very hostile on this night as they allowed the Tigers only 82 yards total offense. The Indians proved to be too wild and aggres- sive for the visitors from Tallahassee. Pine Forest The Indians gained their third vic- tory of the season with a 12-7 homecoming win over the unde- feated Pine Forest Eagles. Pine For- est took an early lead in the second quarter, but the Indians came right back and scored. Cleveland McNabb hit Chris Kirby on a 9 yard pass play, but the extra point was missed. CHS took the lead late in the third quarter when Cleveland hit Chris again on a 34 yard pass. From here. The Big Green defense took control of the game and they held the Eagles scoreless in the second half. This was a very successful homecoming for the Indians. 60 VARSITY FOOTBALL Bay The Big Green posted its fourth victory of the season with a 16-0 shutout over the Bay Tornadoes. The Choctaw defense swarmed the entire night as they held Bay to 92 total yards. The defense posted nine first half points as they were on their way to their second shutout. Todd Gatlin tackled the Bay quar- terback in the endzone to give CHS a 2-0 lead. Mike Rogers later recov- ered a Tornadoe fumble in the end- zone for a TD. CHS took a 9-0 lead into the locker room at halftime. Todd Gatlin scored on a one yard run for the final score as CHS coast- ed on to a 16-0 victory. Godby The Big Green went on the war- path as they stomped the Godby Cougars 42-0. The Choctaw of- fense used five different players to score their 42 points and the CHS defense limited Godby to only three first downs. Todd Gdtlin scored on runs of four and six yards. Pat Bal- dwin intercepted a Godby pass and raced 52 yards as the Indians had a commanding 28-0 lead at halftime. In the fourth quarter. O.C. Pride gal- loped 47 yards for a score ond Cleveland McNabb hit Terry Chance on a 4 yard pass to round out the CHS scoring. Choctaw held Gobdy to 113 yards total offense and the CHS record rose to 6-2. Ft. Walton Beach Choctaw exploded for 21 second quarter points as they vexed the Vikes 21-13 in the season finale. The Vikes jumped out to a 7-0 lead ear- ly, but CHS tied it up when Barry Gray scored on a 33 yord run. After a FWB score, the Indians hit paydirt on a pass from Cleveland McNabb to Terry Chance. The Big Green took the lead for good, when Cleveland McNabb hit Barry Gray with a 36 yard pass and CHS led 21- 13 at the intermission. The Indians held the Viking offense in neutral the entire second half as the Vikes man- aged only 82 yards rushing for the night. — Bobby Springle VARSITY FOOTBALL 61 4 62 VARSITY FOOTBALL 7 Indians chop down Pine Forest 12-7 able to gain a little experience that was not present on the returning team. The Big Green offense had one returning player that started every game dur- ing the 1981 season, Cleveland McNabb. He started quarterback in 1982. The Indians' offensive line was the place where the inexperience was evident. This line had one player with varsity experience. Rondell Thomas was the player that the coaches wanted to lead this young offensive line Dean Vinson, a 200 pound junior, anchored the center of the line. Jason Duff and Kirk Franco, two strong linemen, held their ground at the guard position along with the help of Rondell Thomas. Ricky Chappel. Scott Griffin, and Terry Freeman were the players that kept the op- posing defensive linemen out of the Indian backfield by holding down their tackle positions. This offensive line opened up some hugh holes for the Indian run- ningbacks to run through. Mike Schrider, the junior fullback, was the lead blocker for the quick tail- backs. Barry Gray, the fleet-footed senior, used his sly moves to juke his opponents off course. O.C. Pride, a back who runs a 9.8 hundred, came in to use his blazing speed as he just ran by pursuing tacklers. Cedric Williams and Todd Gatlin came in on short yard situations to gain the tough yards that the Indians needed for a first down or a touchdown. When the Indians were not running the ball, the ball was in the air. McNabb had three receivers who had reliable hands Chris Kirby, Con't on pg 64 1.

VARSITY FOOTBALL 63 Indians vex Vikes in season finale Terry Chance, and Danny Youngblood were on the end of the passes that McNabb threw during the games. The Indians proved to be an exciting offen- sive team over the 1982 season as they averaged 20.5 points per game, but the defense was just as exciting as they yielded only 9.5 points to the op- posing teams. The Indian defense was anchored by Cedric Wil- liams, an all-state linebacker. Hunter Harrison, the other linebacker, also earned the reputation as a hard-nosed hitter. Jim Forakis, John Stuckey, Tim Distel, and John Stephens were in the middle of the action at the defensive guard spots. The Indians were very aggressive on defense and the aggres- siveness was present on the ends of the line Todd Gatlin, George Bethune, Marcus Belzer, Mike Rogers, and Bryan Coffey proved to be very hostile when opposing runners tried to get outside of the Indian defense. When quarterbacks attempted to put the pigskin in the air, the Big Green defen- sive backs were back covering the receivers. Willie Bryant, Albert Ghant, Pat Baldwin, and Paul Samp- son covered the opposing receivers like a wet blan- ket and they hit the players with a lot of force. The Indian defense provided the offense with a number of opportunities as they forced the oppo- nents to turn the ball over. The Big Green defense showed the opposing teams what the true mean- ing of hitting was when they came to meet the Big Green Indians. „ . , — Bobby Spnngle 1.

The young Indians powered their talented team through wins over some very tough opponents. The results of this J.V. team should be the type of performance to be expected from the varsity squad, since the talent will be brought with them. Last years offense was very powerful. Steve Flint, the sophomore quarterback, was the leader of this winning team. His superb running was balanced out by the rushing of Raynard Coward, who was named the teams most outstanding runner. Gino Johnson, another quick runner, was assisted by a fine offen- sive line. Eddie Springle, an outstanding J.V. line- man, helped the rest of the big men up front with excellent pass protection. Many of the passes wound up in the hands of Danny Williams, the teams most outstanding receiver, who seemed to always be there. On the defensive line, one saw quickness and superb playing abilities. The linebackers were an- chored by hard-hitting James Tyner and Jet Thomp- son. The defensive team could count on their sec- ondary with junior safety Robert Estep in on the tackles. This was a year to be remembered! Coach Mills summed up the season by saying, I could not have asked for a better effort from a team. To say the least I'm very happy with the season. — Amy Kuhn Bill Brigman 1. Danny Williams tries to avoid being tackled. 2. Coach Mills gets a lift from his winning team. 3.

The training consisted of six to eight miles of road work every day, with some days including lifting weights. To test and improve their training, the team entered sever- al races, including the FSU, SS Dixon, Azalea City, Troy State, and the Eagle Invitationals. In these races, the boys were able to prepare mentally and physically for the races within the district. Russell Bentley was one of the six dedicated and experienced seniors who returned with a winning edge. Russell's effort paid off with a 15:11 3-mile win. During the season, he placed first at district as well as regionals, as he demonstrated that winning was his style. Another dedicated runner for the Indi- ans was senior Robert Hebinck, Rogert was spokes- man for the team throughout the year. In addition to the team wins, Robert boasted a 3-mile time of 15:49. He completed the season ranking eighth out of the individual runners in the state of Florida. On November 6, the Indians traveled to Pensaco- la to compete in the district meet. The competition was fierce, but the Indians ran away with the title. A week later, the runners competed in the state meet. Five of the best runners from each of the 205 schools were competing. The boys chalked up an incredible eighth place, making CHS proud. — Danny Gross 1. Off and running were the boys cross country team for the 82-83 season. 2.

BOYS CROSS COUNTRY 69 CHS girls get on the right path The 1982-83 Choctaw girls cross country team, led by Mrs. Joy Aplin, outraced the district competi- tion with a first place win. Then they journeyed on to state and surpassed Pine Forest with a score of 41 to 49, lowest score wins. At regionals, the team placed fifth, a big improvement over last year's finishing of eighth. To be on the team, it took dedication. Each girl went through a rigorous schedule, starting with dai- ly, early morning training of two or three hours. This loyalty doesn't stop when the school's final bell rang. These girls ran an average of 65 miles a week, including speed workouts, lifting weights, and run- ning for distance to improve their skills. In the district race, the top achievers were 1st place Carlean Mack; 2nd, Dana Poore; 3rd Jackie Bietau; 4th, Dawn Godwin; and 5th, Andred Hen- ningson. At the state competition, Vickie Sears placed 6th and advanced Choctaw to victory. The top runners were seniors Dawn Godwin and Andred Henningson, junior Carlean Mack, and soph- omores Cyndi Cain, Vickie Sears, and injured runner Catherine Green. Two of last year's runners were not originally on the team; Dana Poore of the bas- ketball team and Jackie Bietau of the swim team. Last year's team consisted of juniors and newcoming sophomores. The legacy of leading the pack holds true in the future with this returning talent. — Cory Langner 1.

The 1982-83 Volleyball team started and ended the season with a bang. The hard practices began the last week of July and continued until Septem- ber, when the official season began. These prac- tices consisted of pulled muscles, sweat, and fa- tigue. Blocking this out of their minds, the team struggled through to prove practice makes per- fect . But the hard work paid off as the team won tpe district 2-AAAA Championship by defeating Pa- nama City Mosley. 15-0 and 15-7. They continued the winning streak, as they captured the Regional 1-4A Championship and presented Mr. Bounds with another volleyball trophy by stomping Pensacola Pine Forest 15-9 and 15-4. Their adventures did not stop here, as they traveled to Jacksonville, where they were defeated by the defending state cham- pions, although the scores were extremely close. Last years outstanding players were: most im- proved player, Diana Robbins, most valuable play- er. Lisa Kuhns; best spiker, Michele Moses; best de- fensive player. Liz Lech; and best server. Tina Ma- ples. Under the coaching of Melody Jackson and Lee Jackson these past five years, Choctaw's vol- leyball team has come a long way and established themselves as one of the leading volleyball powers in Northwest Florida. They have proved this over and over again, and have greatly contributed to the many outstanding sports that make up the pride and spirit at Choctawhatchee. — Brooke Barron 1.

Practice began with a pep talk, then the team moved on to a set pattern of stretches and warm-up exercises. These exercises developed ba- sic skills, such as dribbling, ball control, and body coordination, which were the foundations of a good soccer team. Father Bluett, a volunteer coach from the com- j munity, worked with the defense. He made sure they stayed in position to back each other up, known as running the angle. He also pointed out the j weaknesses of the team and showed the defensive players the best position to be in during a given situation and helped them to find the open man to cover. Mat Cole was a volunteer coach from the ; 1984 US Olympic team. He worked mostly with the ’ goalies, but also gave advice to the front line and aided with the defense. i The team worked on mastering different aspects of the game at practice so they would be ready for anything. Plays were developed for re-starts, such j as throw-ins, kick-offs, and free-kicks. The players spent hours of practice time on these plays, and it paid off during the season. Each practice ended with lots of conditioning. The team usually ran ten 100 yd. sprints and four : laps around the field. As practice ended. Coach Mikel often said, A team's worst enemy is fatique. — John Webster 1. Walter Dittrich smiles after one of his better punts. 2. Graham Rawsthron attempts to get by Mark Burson. 3.

They were true to their motto: every time they played soccer, wheth- er in practice or in regular seasonal games, each individual gave his all. The season had a rough be- ginning, but after the Christmas holidays, the Indians boasted an eight-game winning streak. Defensive planning, excellent coaching, teamwork, and ag- gressive playing enabled the team to finish the sea- son with a record of 9-6. As in all other sports. Ft. Walton Beach proved to be Choctaw's greatest soccer rival. With both teams battling only each other for the District 2-4A championship, the rivalry was greatly magnified. The first district game resulted in a shootout which carried over into sudden death. The Indians handed FWB their first loss of the season with a 1-0 score. In the second district contest, Choctaw worked mag- ic and became the first team to score on the Viking No Goal Patrol. CHS clinched the win with a final score of 3-1. The Vikings won the next two games, forcing a tie-breaker. The competition was fierce, and Indians played well but Ft. Walton Beach emerged with the title. Coach Mikel used not only game strategy in his coaching; he also stressed the right mental atti- tude. The team did not start the season looking to district and state games, but played one game at a time. The 1983 soccer team was truly an example of Choctaw class. — Candi Campbell 1 Steve Bassham does his best to keep the ball heading toward the Vikings' goal. 2.

SOCCER 77 New coach vaults team to districts The 1982-83 boys' basketball team started the year off with a new coach, new uniforms, and a whole new image. The Tribe had four players return- ing from last year who helped Coach Englett make the winning District 2-AAAA championship team. Under the leadership of the seniors, the Indians showed Ft. Walton beach that the Indians had what it took to win the District 2-AAAA championship with a score of 63-52. After stopping Mosley the night before with a score of 73-62. the Tribe took the district title. Senior Richard Rogers led the county with an average score of 23.4 points per game. Even the sophomores showed their stuff. 57 Willie Williams made some excellent moves when he played with the big boys. George Bethune was a great help to the team with his superb rebound ability. As well as bringing new aspects to the game. Coach Englett enhanced CHS's natural talents and accomplished a true feeling of teamwork. As in every other sport at Choctaw, the practices were long and hard, but the effort paid off. The Indians finished the season with a record of 14-13. As regional runners-up and district champions, the team could look back on a very successful season. Faculty and students alike supported the 1982-83 team, and the Tribe took that enthusiasm into every game with them. The boys' basketball team represented their teachers and peers in the true spirit of Choctaw. — Robert Frey 1 George Bethune has the talent for scoring and puts one in for the Indians at Nice ville. 2 Willie Williams moves with the groove to edge past his opponent. 3.

They were: Richard Rogers, most valuable player for 1982-83; Danny Youngblood had crucial rebound- ing ability; Clevland McNabb's skilled hands were a great asset to the team; as well as Charles Bauer's aggressive ability. Mike Keister was one of the first starters for the Indians. A superb player. Keenan Gamble helped out the team with many needed points. John Mullens was a favorite who helped out with his crucial penality shots to advance the Indians. Juniors with outstanding skills were: Willie Bryant, an aggressive point guard; John Crowell with his all around skills in playing; and Lionel Grant, a transfer from Oklahoma, was a helpful player on the score board. This group showed how to use the skills they had acquired during their J.V. year and previous years. At the sophomore end of the spectrum was Willie Williams, an excellent starter and a quick re- bounder. George Bethune was one of the highest scorers for the Indians. Many teams have come and gone but the 1982-82 basketball team will live on in the memories of the players, friends, and fans. It only seemed like yesterday that we cheered our team to victory. — Robert Frey 1. Willie Bryant is up for two and leaves Mosely down under 2 Charles Bauer puts forth that extra effort 3.

The team was comprised of such outstanding players, one of which was Kevin Powell who was a starting guard, another was Stephen Flint, a starting forward. What a year it was, the junior varsity team upset all but five of the teams that they challenged. They began practicing in January and continued their vigorous training until the final game in March. The team practices consisted of many drills for speed and stamena. They also spent a lot of time learning the meaning of basketball and the correct way to play it. Good sportsmanship like attitudes on and off the field were also stressed. All the players on the junior varsity team will be moving on to the varsity team next year and CHS will have another group of guys for Coach Sanders to train as he did this past year. The junior varsity team was given much support at all their games, home and away. The varsity team went to all the games and shouted cheers of encouragement to the J.V. team. By the end of the season all of the players had been able to play at least once. The team had also learned the basic necessity of the game, teamwork, sportsmanship, and most of all having fun. All the enthusiasm shown by the team led them to an exciting winning season this year and gave them the gutts to get involved. — Garett Dykes 1.

J. V. BASKETBALL 83 Fighting hard to the last second The 1983 Girls Basketball team had an outstand- ing record of 16-9. They contributed this record to dedication and hard work. Practice began in the summer with a break at the beginning of the school year for volleyball. Then in October, six days a week of concentrated practice began which consisted of running strenuous drills. These drills would be stressed in the areas of rebounding, defensive plays or outside shooting, depending on the weakness of their opponent. The lady Indians started out their season well. They were led by returning seniors, Kristin Peterson, Tish Miller, Carolyn Mitchell and Terri Plitt. Near the end of the season this leadership paid off, as Caro- lyn Mitchell's last second shot clinched their win over Niceville. Another outstanding senior was Terri Plitt, who helped lead the team in scoring and made 2nd Team All County. The Tribe will have a lot to draw upon next year, as the talent of high scoring sophomore, Lisa Kuhns will be returning. Lisa's successful year placed her on 1st Team All County, all area and 3rd Team All State. With these caliber of players, it's no wonder Choctaw went into over time in their final game wifh FWB and placed second in the district. The team owes a lot to Coach High who pushed them hard this past year to improve themselves, thereby allowing the team to accomplish more and show the true pride of Choctaw. 1. Coach High and Asst.

GIRLS BASKETBALL 85 CHS’ highstepping gals The Indianettes, the dance-drill team at Choctaw, were sponsored by Susan Reid. Captain Andrea Val- entine and co-captain Beckie Stock led the group, teaching routines and just polishing each movement. Many of the Indianettes choreo- graphed the routines, this talented group included Andrea Valentine and Deanna Weber. The group consisted of 24 girls, all of which put a great deal of time and effort into the Indianettes. Dur- ing the summer they attended The Superstar Drill Team Camp at the University of West Florida in Pensa- cola. They achieved the highest honor by receiving the Sweep- stakes trophy for the seventh year in a row. They also attained other hon- ors such as, Tara Mosblech, who was the only girl remaining with no mis- takes on the execution of com- mands after a 45-minute session; and Susan Landers and Andrea Val- entine, who were finalists in the Miss Superstar competition. The Indianettes were a support group for many activities at CHS. They performed at pep rallies, pre- game shows during football season, and every home basketball game. They presented thrilling routines each time, ranging from new wave to contemporary; including We're Through Being Cool ' Twilight Zone. and many more. All of this added up to another terrific year for them. — Michele Harris 86 INDIANETTES 1. Bubbling over with CHS spirit. Ashley Weldy showed that Indianettes can do magic with their routines. 2.

INDIANETTES 87 CHS guys offer more spirit For the second year, the student body of Choctawhatchee High School could go to a football or bas- ketball game and not only see the varsity and junior varsity cheer- leaders but the auxiliary unit of the guy cheerleaders. These guys ad- ded to the varsity cheerleaders by allowing for more difficult stunts and mounts, but they also showed that CHS guys had more to offer than a number one football team. The girls were very lucky to have had such a talented group of guys working with them. They changed the look and style of the whole squad. Their added strength gave more versatility to the team perfor- mance. Pep rallies and games were more exciting and had appeal with the aid of guy cheerleaders per- forming their style. The guys, accompanied by the varsity and junior varsity cheer- leaders went to the Eastern Cheer- leading Association's summer clinic which was held in Orlando, Florida in July. While there, they received the award for the most improved squad. Awards were also given for spirit every day and the guy cheer- leaders brought home their share. They also were responsible for learn- ing routines, cheers, stunts and mounts, which was the whole pur- pose of camp. As for whether or not the camp served it's purpose, one look at the guy cheerlea- ders tells all. — Melissa Beasley 88 GUY CHEERLEADERS 1.

The best all around squad The 1982-83 cheerleading squad carried out the traditions of the last twelve years by receiving Superior ratings at their summer competition. They attended the Eastern Cheer- leading Associations clinic at the University of Central Florida. Like in the past, they were awarded spirit sticks each day for the outstanding spirit they displayed. The varsity was chosen as The Best All Around Squad . It was vot- ed on by the squads and instructors that were in attendance. The varsi- ty and junior varsity squads won the most outstanding skit. Maria Horton, captain of the cheerleaders, was selected as Most Outstanding Cheerleader for the 1982 clinic. This was an honor since she was chosen by all the girls at the camp. The squad won many blue ribbons for superior performances in all areas of cheerleading. In addition, the squad was eligible for further competition in Eastern's national contest. They were also selected to make a promotional film, which was to be shown on national television. The CHS cheerleaders were an enthusiastic and dedicated group who supported the sports at Choc- taw throughout the year. You could always depend on the varsity squad to help bring up the spirit on any occassion. They were a definite as- set to the true spirit at Choctaw. — Kathy Kelley Varsity Squad; Front row, Senior Cheerleaders, Angie Davis. Maria Horton: Captain. Kathy Kasch. Sandra Atkinson.

The Jr. Varsity squad cheered at the J.V. football games, as well as, basketball games, and guided their fellow students in cheers during pep rallies. The J.V. squad was named cham- pions of their division when they at- tended the Eastern Cheerleading Association's summer clinic held at the University of Central Florida in Orlando. During their week long stay the squad demonstrated excellent projection, spirit, and execution of their cheers. This hard work paid off, as they were awarded 1st place routine, 1st place skit, and overall 2 J.V. champions. The squad could frequently be seen five days a week during the summer at 6:00 am practicing their cheers to prepare for the upcoming season. Members of the Jr. Varsity squad were Julie Sullivan, who served as captain; Heather Bryne who was co-captain; Molly Mul- doon; Kelly Lippincott; Winnie Morris; Colleen McGuire; Michelle Mercer; Cheryl Ledbetter and Jill Baily. This was a very motivated group of girls. The squad members were highly respected by the school, and were looked upon as a great asset to the present and future spirit at Choctaw. — Brooke Barron 3 92 JV CHEERLEADERS t Julie Sullivan seems awed at the Indi- ans great spirit. 2.

JV CHEERLEADERS 73 Determination pays The young Choctawhatchee mat men displayed great determination and drive while seeking their goals in the 1983 wrestling season. The team as a whole was not experienced due to the lack of de- velopment of a junior high wrestling program in Okaloosa County. In a sport where the ability to move and counter move are prevalent, the experience factor comes into play Experience was important because a wrestler must know exactly what to do before it happens This was why endless hours of practice were taken and each wrestler became finely tuned both mentally and physically. The physical aspects of wrestling were easy: three to five hundred pushups a day, endless miles of running and various other exercises. Needless to say, this was what made wrestling moves. All this was done in a room that at times reached a hundred and ten de- grees and the humidity level reached over ninety five percent. Three wrestlers emerged from this team to meet the goal of every wrestler in the state of Florida. Pat Mauller, Jim Forakis. and Matt Wheelan defeated opponents in the tough district and regional divi- sions to qualify for state One wrestler became the best of the state in his class. Matt Wheelan fought through several tough opponents to become victo- rious. a first for Choctaw's wrestlers. Wrestling was a devastating sport to the mind and body. Only a few had the talent to succeed in such a rough sport. The 83' team accomplished this and became champions. — Renee Schapley 1.

In our school system there hap- pens to be no junior high wrestling program. Due to this the high schools carry a junior varsity program. In this class these young athletes learn the funda- mentals of wrestling. Since none in the class were experienced in wrestling they had to practice with the older and much more experienced wrestlers, this happened to be the varsity wrestlers. During their class period they worked individually such as running, lifting weights to increase muscle strength, and studying the different kinds of holds. After school they began to put things into place. They had to use what knowledge they had gained when they faced the varsity wrestlers. All of this took place in a room where temperatures reached enor- mous heights. These boys really learned the mean- ing of sweat when inside that one particular room. Not many schools have a junior varsity wrestling team and due to this fact our boys had a tough time wrestling at meets. Even though they do not have many meets this was a good way for Choc- taw to train for a bigger and stronger varsity wrestling team. Along with the wrestling game comes the mat girls. These girls do not wash the mats after a match These girls are there to support and keep things running in the way of paper work and things of that sort. During tournaments they make posters of run- ning accounts of each and every participant. No one athlete is better than another. All in all the season went smoothly. — Renee Schapley 1. The mat girls for the year of 1983 were Denise Hanle and Nancy Osborn. 2 Nancy and Denise spent long hours preparing for each match and every turnsments. 3 All of the hours of sweating paid off when it came down to the actual matches in the school gym. 4.

One obvious reason for this success was that each member put forth that extra effort at practice. They started practicing every day after school from January until April. The team was busy working on drills which consisted of hitting endless numbers of serves, forehands, backhands, as well as volleys. Running and jumping rope were also used in the conditioning program. As the season started in February, Choctaw was bound for a promising season. The number one spot on the team was played by Todd Omley with the number two position being held by David Walker. Tim Gates and Hai Diep both played number three while Russell Woerl and Pat Jones retained the num- ber four slot. Ken Baker and Mark Fredrickson also shared a spot at the number five position. This was a team with little experience but they were filled with a lot of determination. On April 15 the Sub-district Tennis Tournament was held and hosted by Choctawhatchee High School, under the direction of Lamar White, last year's coach. Choctaw was hopeful going into the tournament, but they ended up with a bad draw. They competed against the top three players of the opposing teams. The team ended up coming in number five out of nine teams. The season ended with the selection of Pat Jones as the most valuable player and David Walker as the most improved. — Ken Baker 1.

They fin- ished with the best season record in the history of Choctawhatchee High School. Four out of last year's top five returned to the 1983 team. Practice commenced in the summer months and continued through the season. They also played a large number of tournaments throughout the state in order to improve their competitive edge. When the season began they started to win and didn't stop until the team had won an incredible fifteen straight matches. Their only two defeats of the season came from Catholic High with two losses. During the sub-district tournament, played at the Fort Walton Beach Tennis Center, the girls faced a difficult task. They had a very good chance to win the district but first they would have beat out Catholic which was their foremost opponent. Beth Brown, Audrey Phillips, Laurel Miley, and Carey Hob- son all reached the finals of their divisions. Both dou- bles teams also reached the finals. With six out of the seven positions in the finals the team stood with an excellent chance of winning. But only Carey Hobson could produce a win. They finished second with 21 points to Catholic's 27. At the end of the year the team selected it's most valuable player and Beth Brown was the recipient. Carey Hobson was chosen most improved player. — Ken Baker 1.

The three seniors on the team were Jeff Crowder, David Gates, and Steve Haynes, the junior member was Bobby Scribner; and the sopho- mores were David Gibson, Paul Hebinck, Tim John- son, Robert Perry, and Shawn Shahid. These young men had a successful year with 37 wins and only 14 losses. In District action the team was ranked 3rd out of 12 teams. The golf team members began preparation for the year long before the season was about to be- gin. Coaches Kit Edwards and John Kresl guided the team with constructive criticism and pointers on their games. They studied the rules and regulations of golf and received tips from well-known area pro- fessional golfers. All of this gave them that winning edge over the other teams. Then as the season drew near tri-meets were held against Fort Walton Beach and Niceville High Schools. These meets were for anyone wishing to be on the CHS team and were considered to be try-outs. They also helped prepare the golfers for tough competition against other District teams. The season then began with the Choctawhatchee team playing at Indian Bayou against Fort Walton, Escambia, and Washington. Thus began a busy season for the team. A great deal of hard work made the year end with Choc- taw in the upper quarter. — Michele Harris 1. Kit Edwards, the Juan Valdez of the golf team, pre- pares the team's score cards. 2.

The girls' swim team attained the District championship, while the boys' swim team placed 2nd runner-up. Many of the swimmers and divers participated in the state meet. The captain of the swim team was Greg Dominiak and the captain of the dive team was Susan Bell, Many of the individuals won their own honors. Linda Welch, a senior and third-year member of the team, placed 13th in the Butterfly at state. Susan Bell won the Northwest Florida diving championship. The guys' relay team was made up of Greg Domin- iak, Marty Early, Ben Calderone, and Ben Pearson, and participated at state. Another team going to state was the girls' medley with members Linda Welch, Kim Mclnnis, Courtney Roberts, and Susan Van Putte. At the Fall sports banquet. Coach Landingham presented awards to the Most Valuable members of the teams. The Most Valuable swimmers were Linda Welch, who made the girls' all-state team; and Marty Early and Greg Dominiak, both of whom were priceless assets of the team. The Most Valu- able divers were Susan Bell, who broke the District diving record; and Scott Moy, who was a vital part of the team. Each member of the team contributed his time in order to make it an excellent year. — Michele Harris 1. Showing what it takes to be a winner. Scott Moy dem- onstrates his back dive. 2.

Winning their first seven games of the season gave them a good foot to stand on. Another memorable event for the Indians baseball team was that the team finished third in the Pensacola News Journal Baseball Tournament. In this tournament Choctawhatchee defeated both Milton and Century but ended up losing to Tate 3-1 in the semi-finals of the games. The practices included work in the batter's cage, improving pitching and batting skills and also field practice where the players worked on game tech- niques. Often the players practice time ran much past their normal sixth period class, which helped to make them the team that they were. Choctaw's baseball team was invited to the Co- lonial Classic held in Orlando. Florida. Although the team did not do as well as they had intended, they did enjoy themselves and made the best of the trip by keeping busy with other activities. The team visited Disney World to spend a day in a land of make believe. They also journeyed to various video arcades. As these games have swept the nation they have also captured the Choctawhatchee baseball team. The rest of their time was spent basking in the Florida sun or enjoying the pool at their hotel which relaxed many tired players 1.

Players themselves be- gan to fall into slumps Darrell Faircloth carried a batting adverage of .450 until the ending of the season. Here he too fell into a slump. Before losing his last 5 games. Bobby Springle was 8-0. During this pitchers 8-0 streak, he had a streak of 34 innings where he did not give up an earned run This was an unfortunate break The team had 3 leading hitters. Darrell Faircloth with a .370. He had 3 homeruns and 20 runs batted in. The second hitter was Bobby Springle. He had a .315. And the third leading hitter was Mike Galluzzi with a .270. All of these hitters had a good season. The starting players on the team were: Darrell Faircloth; catcher — college prospect. He also had a very strong throwing arm. First baseman Nick Nac- chia was said to have a extremely good glove. Second baseman who had a great range when throwing the ball, was Barry Krajeck.

The physical end of running comes easy to some but others have a tendency to struggle through. Once the body has adjusted to the physical end, running comes much easier. Through weeks of practice, Choctawhat- chee's track team started to improve. Track is a support which is very time consuming to the individ- ual. The team-mates must set it in their mind to run certain amounts everyday. As the days went on the track team increased their mileage. So when it came to short distances the team could just work on speed. Speed did not come easy; because to improve on one's speed the run must be done over and over again. During this event time only improves by the tenth of a second and not by the minute. Speed, endurance, ajihity, determination. All of those were traits of the 83' track team. The speed war exhibited by the 440 Relay team of; Barry Gray, Cleveland McNabb, O.C. Pride, and Pat Baldwin. These track stars broke the school record on the way to qualifying for the state meet. The mile medly team displayed this fleet footedness by also break- ing a school record. They too went on to the state track meet. The members of this team consisted of: O.C. Pride. Cleveland McNabb. Charlie McCorvey, and Albert Ghant. The Mile Relay team of Albert Ghant, Cleveland McNabb. Danny Youngblood, and O.C. Pride finished fourth in the Regional meet also qualifying them for the state meet, con't on pg 114 1. Runners wait for their chance to run at the state track meet. 2.

This statement was proved true by the 83 team. The only athlete to qualify for state in an event that required him to run farther than one fourth of a mile was Russell Bently. Bently came in second in the two mile with a time of 9:48. Speed, was displayed by the 440. mile medly, and mile relay team. Endurance was shown by Rus- sell Bently in the two mile. But ajility could have best been described by Pat Baldwin. Pat Baldwin finished third in the long jump at the regional meet with a jump of 23Vi. This qualified him for the state track meet. Baldwin and Bently were the only two indivi- duals to qualify for state on the whole Choctawhat- chee track team. The other three Choctaw qualifi- ers were conprised of the relay teams. Determination may have been the greatest thing the 83' Choctaw team had. They had an undefeat- ed season in which the tracksters defeated one team by 100 points. There was a lot of skill shown by many of the athletes but if it weren't for the coach- ing done by Ron Crawford and Steve McCarthy. The season could have been a disaster. The coaches harnessed all this raw ability of the athe- letes and made them winners. It just goes to show that hard work and determination will make ever- ything work out to its best. Time and practice also made these men the star athletes they were. — Renee Schapley Long distance winners show off their other talents. 2. Albert Ghont gives high jumping a try. 3.

BOYS TRACK 115 Mile teams win first at district The 1983 Girls Track team was not quite as suc- cessful this past year as they had been the previous one. Last year saw a revival of the County Meet in which the girls placed 2nd. They also won 2nd at the District Meet, losing to Mosley by only eight points. The top four finishers in each event qualified for Regionals. Both the mile relay team of Carleane Mack, Dawn Godwin, Jackie Bietau, and Lawanda Sampson, along with the mile medley team of An- gela Boston, Brooke Barron, Lawanda Sampson, and Cindy Cain captured 1st place at District. Be- sides the relays, Carleane Mack won 1st in the 880 and the mile, while Lawanda Sampson took 2nd in the 440 and 4th in the long jump. Beth Johnston captured three 3rd in the shot-put, the 100, and the 220. Diana Robbins also placed in three events, 3rd in the high jump, 2nd in the 100, and 4th in the 220. Other top places went to Jackie Bietau, 3rd in the 330 low hurdles; Dawn Godwin, 2nd in the 880; Cheryl Jackson, 4th in the 880; Suzanne Sharpe, 4th in the discus; and Lisa Kuhns, 4th in the high jump. Carleane Mack took 10th in the 880 at the State meet in Winter Park. For this outstanding achieve- ment as a junior, Carleane was awarded the Most Valuable Runner at the annual track picnic. In addi- tion, Lawanda Sampson was deemed Top Sprinter and Suzanne Sharpe was awarded the Top Field Event Girl. Two school records were set last year, Lawanda in the long jump and Beth Johnston in the 220. 1. Lawanda Sampson shows her 440 style. 2.

GIRLS TRACK 117 Sportsmanship wins the game The 1982-83 girls softball team was led by Coach Englett, Fred Pitts, and a new volunteer Coach, Paula Kozelka. The girls started the year off on a new practice field, and with new uniforms. The lady Indians finished second in district this year. The best game of the season was said to be the Chocta- whatchee Indians vs the Mosley Dolphins. The Indi- ana seemed to have scalped the Dolphins 30 to 7. Choctaws squaws even performed well in the rain which poured through five of the fifteen games. The Indians had a strong leadership by nine seniors, six sophomores will return to guide the Indians next year. Practices were strenuious but all endured the stress and pushed even harder. A winning team was the outcome because of the unity that was displayed. Some of the outstanding players were Liz Leach, Tina Malles, Christen Peterson, Beth Johnson, and Jackie Bietau. The season seemed to end on a fairly good note but the lady Indians will return better than before. — Robert Frey 1. While making a crucial play. Beth Johnston shows her athletic form. 2.

The 2nd period repre- sentatives were voted on by peti- tion rather than being nominated by their classmates Another improve- ment was the school Homecoming party which was held at the Blue Horizon and attended by a record- breaking crowd of 600 students. The Student Council's annual talent show was another success of the year with the theme Choctaw Up Where We Belong. Also, a new event was started last year with the hope of becoming an annual tradi- tion. Morp. prom spelled back- wards, was an event in which the girls treated the guys. The Student Council officers did an excellent job of governing the school in the traditional CHS man- ner. The president, Gigi Smith, led the organization in fostering school spirit; while the vice-presidents, Lau- rie Yohe and Deanna Porter, kept track of all the events of the school. The secretary, Sharon Johnson, and the treasurer, Michelle Guest, kept the business end of the organization under control. While Lisa Beasley, the historian, had the horrendous job of keeping a scrapbook of the his- torical year at CHS. The members were active parts for each pep rally and promoted school spirit each day. All in all the Student Council had an excellent year. — Michele Harris 122 STUDENT COUNCIL 1. Dressed as tourists. Toni Drago and Gene Copeland boogied at the Morp donee. 2.

STUDENT COUNCIL 123 ICC helps to unite clubs Interclub Council was in charge of many activities last year that helped to unite the clubs together. Meetings were held every other Thursday, where important details for all activities were given to each president. Copies of all the minutes were given out as remind- ers to the presidents of all the up- coming activities. As in the past ICC was in charge of planning and organizing all home- coming activities. The parade was a big undertaking, trying to make sure that everyone was in just the right place. The spirit week activities which proceeded the Fort Walton Beach game, were also conducted by ICC. That week was a little differ- ent last year as preparation for the 7-UP Spirit Contest took place. ICC was in charge of most of the details that dealt with the contest. Organizing the Christmas hall decorating was one of the other major Interclub Council projects. Each club was assigned a certain hall to decorate however they liked. A group of judges decided on a winner from the interest, service and V-clubs. They were awarded cash prizes. The Interclub Council played a major role in all of the club activities. Each activity had to be approved through ICC prior to it occuring. Through the work of ICC, the clubs functioned to their best ability. 1.

ICC 125 Deutschkassen iiber alles The German Honor Club started off the year under the leadership of Marc Story, president; Kelly Headrick were the winners. The third annual soccer game of German Honor vs. Spanish Honor was a victory for the Deutschlanders with a score of 7 to 5. Many activities were ac- complished, such as a Smash Mov- ie by the German III class and an International dinner in which the stu- dents from all the language clubs fixed dishes of food from their for- eign country to be tasted by the other students. The sponsor, “Frau Sills , was a great asset to the German Honor club. She kept the fire glowing and all the activities ran smoothly. At the end of the year banquet, apprecia- tion was given to all the people who made the club so successful. The umpah bond kept up its tradi- tion and was asked to sing at the banquet. This band was unique because it sang German folk songs in German. — Robert Frey 126 GERMAN HONOR X 1. Practicing their German sayings dur- ing initiations are Missy Stewart.

French Honor furthered the interest of members in the language and customs of France. During initi- ation new members were required to dress as French painters. The club promoted school spirit by painting signs during football season. Two special events sponsored by the organization, one was the Inter- national Banquet, at which all of the foreign language honor societies gathered and enjoyed special dishes from their respective country. The second was a trip to Mobile in order to see a production of Cyrano de Beaugerac. a famous French play. Some fund raisers for the club were selling candy bars and French Kisses, which were sold during Homecoming and for Valentines Day. Science Honor began its work for the school year by serving as guides at the sophomore orientation and helping at the Sophomore Satur- day. Members were enlightened at meetings with guest speakers and interesting science facts. School spirit was among the priorities of the club, they made spirit tags, and decorating the library window for the 7-UP contest and the halls during the Christmas season. Pros- pects and members of the organi- zation did extremely well at the Regional, State, and International Science Fairs. — Michele Harris 2 3 SCIENCE HONOR: Front Row: Renee Schapley.

FRENCH HONOR 129 Spanish is sobresaliente The Spanish Honor Society was successful in promoting the Spanish language throughout the year. They did this through many various projects and social events. Early in the year, the club sold spirit buttons and candy bars. For the holiday they sold messages appropriate for the occasion, and several car wash- es were held in the spring and sum- mer. The club also sold refreshments at the Thalians' play The King and I, as they have for years. The money earned through all these projects was used to help the members pay for the trip to Orlando for the Span- ish Conference and play. The purpose of the Spanish Con- ference each year is to test the indi- vidual clubs from each school in Flor- ida to see how much they have im- proved since the previous year. At the Conference, our club took many of the top awards in all three of the categories. Alex Ramirez, Gene Copeland, Greg Howell, Anna Vela and Patty Meller all received one or more Sobresaliente , the highest award possible. Many others received Superiors and Buenos . After attending the Conference in Orlando, they went to a Span- ish play. The Spanish Honor Society partici- pated in the Second Annual Spanish Honor-German Honor Soccer Game. Unfortunately, they also lost for the second year in a row. — John Webster 130 SPANISH HONOR 1.

These spirited Indians provided Choctaw with multico- lored brillance and enhanced the drab walls of the hallways. The students of Honor Art had not only the sense of sight, but also the gift of seeing what others did not see. This perception was shared with others through brush, canvas, and paint. Honor Art members trans- posed the halls and walls of Choc- taw into Indian territory, foreign lands, the seashore, or whatever was called for. We are proud of our students who had the gift of magic with brush and paint. With brush in hand, they showed Choctaw's rainbow spirit by painting backgrounds for shows such as. The King andi. Miss CHS, the 7-Up back- drop, as well as the Prom. Since many of the school's pro- jects involved art of various kinds. They were kept busy during the school year. Visitors were greeted with the wall mural of the Indian chief in the main hallway. All the football run-throughs, schedules and advertisements for Miss CHS, the Pop Marler sign, and public adver- tisements that had Honor Art's sig- nature expressing a job well done by some very artistically talented students. — Cory Langner i HONOR ART: Front row: Cathy Blizzard.

This year, as always, the club in- creased its members knowledge of the history of our area through sev- eral projects. Earl Hutto and Bob Sikes came to speak to our school after being invited by Kappa Lamb- da Tau. Their talks were very infor- mative and enjoyable to those who were able to attend. The club vis- ited some important historical sights on their trip to Pensacola. The National Honor Society pro- moted academic excellence through its projects and recognition of deserving students. National Hon- or was composed of students willing to serve the school and community and who demonstrated leadership and academic promise. The club's most important service project of the year was a tutoring service. Members of the club assisted stu- dents needing help throughout most of the year. The National Honor Society also offered a scholarship to the most deserving student fitting the qualifications. The money for this scholarship was raised by the club through a program of selling candy bars. The club also held several social events through the year. One event was the Christmas Social. Closer to spring, the club held a beach party with the National Honor Societies from Ft. Walton and Niceville. — John Webster HISTORY HONOR: Front Row: Prue Tippins, Tres: John Webster, Pres: Robin Davis, Sec.

NATIONAL HONOR 135 Most spirited The purpose of Thalian Honor So- ciety was to promote the theatre and related activities. They fulfilled this purpose very well through var- ious projects throughout the year. In addition to club spirit, Thalians also played a major part in school spirit. They won Honor Club of the Week nine times out of ten during the football season, and won Honor Club of the Year from ICC. To help encourage theatrical ac- tivities, the club held face paintings in several places around the com- munity. They attended the Meigs Jr. High and Cherokee Elementary Spring Festivals with their face painting crews. The forensics team put on outside performances for various groups, school club such as the Kiwanis. the Lions Club, FSCA, and the snowbirds. They also held a Childrens Story Hour in the mall. The forensics team also compet- ed in many tournaments through- out the year, including the Dis- trict and State competitions. The group interpretation won first for the entire state. As always, the Thalians put on a major theatrical production. This year's musical won raving reviews from all the local critics. With Hope Gaither and Marc Story in the lead- ing roles, this play had no trouble drawing in crowds enough to fill the auditorium every night. — John Webster FORENSICS: Front Row: Gene Hudgins.

With Michael Kinlaw serving as president, Diana Goodson as vice-president, Leslie Taylor as secretary, Laurie Roark as treasurer, Jeanette McShera as his torian, and Katy Brannon as parliamentarian, the club was a success. The constitution for the society had one major change throughout the course of the year. Candidates for Music Honor have to now apply for membership to the organi- zation. The club sponsors then make their selections from these applications of the new members. The school year offered the organization many oppor- tunities to participate in extracurricular activities. At the beginning of the school year, members served as guides during the Miracle Strip Marching Festival. During the Homecoming festivities, Cathi Perrett was chosen as Sweetheart and Daryl Morgan as Gentleman. During the FWB-CHS 7 UP week. Music won top honors in the school spirit contest. The organization sponsored Polly Tras in the Miss CHS pageant, and Michael Kinlaw was their repre- sentative in the Mr. Mock contest. At the Senior Appreciation activities, awards were presented to Candi Campbell and Jeanette McShera for being outstanding members. The year ended up with many special memories for all members of the Music Honor Society. Truly it was a very “spirit-filled year. — Michele Harris Michael Kinlaw MUSIC HONOR: Front Row: Ricky Radford, Sam Handley, Katy Brannon.

This club was made up of fun-loving, beach-going students who loved to sail and wanted to get more people interested. One of the more enjoyable past times of the sailing club was hav- ing parties. These were usually held somewhere on the bay. The activities at these parties were usually eating, socializing, swimming and sailing. Aside from the parties and meet- ings, the sailing club also sold dough- nuts and held a car wash to raise money for all their parties. It was one of the most sought after clubs at Choctaw. Many people went out for the club and just about all of those people made it. This made the sailing club one of the largest clubs at school. Although it was one of the largest clubs, it was one of the smallest when it came to meet- ings; with only a few of the more dedicated members showing up for meetings. During Homecoming week, one could see many of the clubs initiates decked out in visors, sunglasses, life- jackets, shorts and slaps. Almost all of these initiates could be seen do- ing the usual air raids, pencil rolling and many other initiation duties that were expected. — Tim Prescott 4 142 SAILING CLUB 1.

SAILING CLUB 143 New friendships are formed The Choctawhatchee Y-clubs, once again carried on the trad- ition of bringing strangers together to have fun and form new friend- ships. This was done through the many social and service activities held by the individual clubs and by all the clubs as a group. The Y-club members also participated in several statewide and national activities such as the Youth Legisla- ture program and the Blue Ridge Conference. Throughout the year clubs partici- pated in service projects for the school, the CA, and the community. One of the most common school projects was sign paintings, held al- most every week by the clubs dur- ing football season. The Y-clubs held a beach clean-up in the spring to help raise money for the YMCA building fund, which they had been assisting with all year. Along with all the work, there were also many social activities. All the Y-clubs participated in Wack-O Day. the Fall and Spring Retreats, the skating party, and the annual spring beach party. Individual clubs sponsored social activities through- out the year. Sigma sponsored a beach party in December, and a Toga Party. While Delta-Phi spon- sored a Just for the Heck of it party. These activities, along with many others, provided the foundation for a successful year of fun and service. — John Webster 144 Y-CLUBS 1.

Y CLUBS 149 Striving to be number one The new tradition was carried on, as the Choctaw Indoor Guard con- tinued to strive to be number one. Their biggest transition last year was getting a new instructor. Assistant band director, Mr. Randy Nelson. He was a super director. Through out the year he became a favorite to all the members. Through the season they won twelve trophies ranging from third all the way to first. They competed in Mississippi, Alabama, Florida and went to nationals in Dayton, Ohio. The guards show consisted of popular songs; It's Raining Men , Apachee , Love is in Control . As well as lots of marching drills. At competitions the guard would per- form about a seven minute show. The show had a constant moving drill with extremely difficult routines. Another difference from last year was the choosing of C.O., or cap- tain overall. This past year a differ- ent senior was picked for every competition. The captain overall would bring the guard on the court, call them to order and salute the judges. The exciting part was repre- senting the guard while scores were being called out. At all competitions the guard could always be seen having the most fun. Through spending week- ends together they all became a big happy family. — Kathy Kelley INDOOR GUARD: Front Row: Dwuna Ebel. Pam Padd n, Lis Eatman, Miranda Semmes. Valeria Gilbert. Teri Eubanks.

The guard says a prayer before all performances Teaching a new dog our stylish tricks The Choctaw band was considered to be the largest and one of the hardest working organiza- tions in the school. Performing was not the only work that went into the band. The officers of the band organized the work load for travel preparations. The actual duties were loading and unloading of the equipment and accounting for the luggage. Everyone did their fair share when preparing to go on a trip. This was just one of the things that helped to pull the band members together and work harder than ever. The Style Marchers functioned as a group, it was not just a one man show. The band seemed to carry the Choctaw spirit where ever they went. Come December, marching season was over, but the members never stopped playing. The band was split into two separate concert bands, and an accompanying pep band. The Style Marchers brought the spirit of Choctaw into most evey sport through the pep band. They played at J.V. football games and at basketball games, This past year the band acquired a new director, Don Varner, and assistant band director, Randall Nelson. Although they were new to the school they knew the bands outstanding reputation. Their work proved successful and the Style Marchers showed that they were what their name said: marchers with style. — Renee Schapley Style Marchers Cnssy Abbott. Buddy Aten. Terry Aten.

Ray Voders STYLE MARCHERS 153 1 More than just a symbol Working for the spot of number one, took many long hours of prac- tice. the band started every school day by playing the musical tones outside on the school parking lot at 7:15 in the morning. If found to be late, one got to take a leisurely run around the parking lot. This policy tended to reduce late arrivals. As a group, the band practiced every Tuesday and Thursday night. Due to this dedication they received 1's at every competition attended. The students of the band found the professional performances most enjoyable. Many found it very excit- ing stepping on a football field in which they were televised by na- tional T.V. Six flags over Texas was a thrill in itself. Whenever doing well the Style Marchers got rewarded. The trip to Six Flags was an honor the band members worked hard for. While in the park the members got to relax before the big game. It was a time for the band to be free. Many stu- dents went and watched the Oak Ridge Boys in concert, while others took a spill on the triple loop. All in all, the students found working hard does pay off in the long run. — Renee Schapley i 154 STYLE MARCHERS 1. Danny Gross learns that food is ahead 2 Jean Herman says “l wonder where Mom is?” 3.

They participated in many fes- tivals including the Dothan Peanut Festival in October, the Solo-Ensem- ble Festival in February, the District Festival in March, and the State Contest in April. At all of these con- tests they were awarded ratings of superior and excellent. The annual combined Christmas concert with the band delighted both young and old. The Spring concert thrilled the audience with performances by award-winning ensembles and solo- ists. The Choral department had many outstanding members. Cathi Perrett and Carlos Musgrove were chosen to be in the All-State Chorus and in the All-State Sight Reading Chorus were Michael Kinlaw and Candi Campbell. Someone very special to the Chorus was Mr. Ed- mund Miranda, a student teacher. He gave Miss J a great deal of moral support and was able to di- rect the choruses on a few numbers at the Spring concert. A select group of 24 members were called the Madrigals. These students were kept busy throughout the year with invitations from community organi- zations. They also performed at pep rallies where they fostered spirit by singing Be True to Your School. They performed at the American Choral Directors Assoc, workshop, a great honor for all. — Michele Harris 2 3 158 CHORUS 1.

With the combined leadership of Holly Zoeller and Marlene Truby, the ICPR was initiated. This new idea helped the junior high ROTC stu- dents learn more about the pro- gram and gave them an idea of what to expect when they come to Choctaw. The ROTC at Choctaw learned about the history of the Air Force as well as different occupational fields, and they were made aware of team work. At each football game the corps furnished cadets for the color guard presentation and assist- ed with parking. The corps was helpful with other groups and organizations in the Ft. Walton Beach area, such as the Dis- abled American Veterans. They re- ceived over fifteen hundred dollars from the ROTC and assisted as ush- ers for the Bob Hope benefit show. Through these many different ac- tivities the ROTC showed that they had various duties outside of school. The mistaken idea that everyone had about ROTC has been chang- ing over the years and it has be- come a popular organization to be involved with. The things gained from being in the corps were not only material ones, but personal as well. Like the satisfaction a cadet felt when a job had been done well. — Jon Preston FIRST SEMESTER STAFF: Front Row: Holley Zoeller. Marlene Truby. Second Row Mide Thomas, Dee Moore. Laura Sodoma.

Students were trained for careers in practically any occupation of their choice within their abilities and job availibility. There were many qualifications, some of which were that the stu- dents had to be at least 16 years old; must be a junior or a senior in high school; and must be in good standing in the school and commu- nity. Acceptance into the program was based on grades, atten- dance, aptitude tests, personality, appearance, attitude, adaptability, initiative, reccomendation of former teachers and cooperation of parents. The objectives of the program were to prepare the individual for employment through experiences provided by the cooperative meth- od. Another objective was to pro- vide for social growth. There were also many advan- tages to DCT. It enabled the stu- dents to evaluate their interests, aptitudes, and abilities. It also, enabled the school to broad- en the curriculum in elective sub- jects, as well as enabled the employer to select and train future full time employees. The students schedule was one or two hours, depending on the coor- dinator, of required classes for graduation, plus on-the-job training. — Garett Dykes 168 DCT 1.

DCT 169 Society surpasses others The Interact Club at Choctaw- hatchee was chartered by the Ro- tary Club. It was a service club which aided the school and community. Some of its distinctive service projects were the West- wood Retirement Center and the Special Olympics. The Inter-Club Council chose In- teract as the Club of the Year. The organization was also chosen as the Most Spirited service club for seven weeks during football season. The members participated in the 7 UP spirit contest and when it came to the magic day. they were there, spirited as ever. The club also sup- ported the 1982-83 Basketball team by working in the concession stand during the season's home games. Interact was led by terrific officers throughout its successful year. Serv- ing as president was Joe Telford, a hard-working senior. George Hen- dricks did an excellent job as vice- president. While Dallas Twiford han- dled the club's money, Dave Halprin served as secretary. David Butler held the position of District Repre- sentative. The organization was sponsored by an incredible man, Mr. Sheffield, who helped Interact be- come the superior club at Choctaw. — Michele Harris 4 170 INTERACT 1.

The Wheelettes helped out the community as they helped with the Jerry Lewis telethon, the Salvation Army drive, meals-on- wheels and baked goodies for po- licemen. As for raising money, the Wheelettes handles this superbly as they held car washes, sold ballons, and sold buttons. But of course there was always time for fun. The club got together with their brother club, Interact, and had a canoe trip, brother sister parties and sign paint- ings. The Wheelettes also showed school pride during 7-Up week and were therefore voted most out- standing service club. All of their work paid off, their float at home- coming took back a first place and they were club of the year. Whee- lette sponsored Mr. Mock which was a huge success, as different Whee- lettes served as MC's, choreo- graphed and helped organize the show. During initiation new members dressed up as big smiling clowns and performed numerous fun tasks for the old members. The spring and fall teas also had a gigantic turnout, as many girls attempted to become A Wheelette . The end of the year came around and Wheelette presi- dent, Prue Tippins, awarded Kelly Headrick Member of the Year at a banquet held at the Western Steer. — Brooke Barron I.

Officers Linne Miller, Liz Patton, Diane Moran, Kim Nelson, and Connie Morris led the club in several worthwhile ven- tures. Community projects included an adopt-a-grandparent program at the Gulf Coast Convalescent Home. The girls also entertained at the Pilot Club Annual Tea held in February. Anchor's primary focus, as every other club, was school spirit. For each football game, the Anchor girls made buttons and decorated the halls to show their spirit. During Homecoming week, new members dressed up as bunny rabbits and could be seen bribing old members with candy and other goodies. Dur- ing Ft. Walton week, the girls learned how to make corsages, and they used this experience as an ex- tra money-making project for the club. The greatest club effort was put forth during 7 up week. Members decorated halls with spirit signs and streamers and collected 7 up cans. The cans were filled with popcorn and made into 7 up shakers for the pep rally. Leftover cans were con- nected to spell 7 up and Choctaw and used as window decorations. Anchor joined with the rest of the clubs to help Choctaw win the Na- tional 7 up School Spirit Contest in April. Distinguished members during 1982 and 1983 included Walter Dit- trich, the club's representative in the Mr. Mock contest, and Susan Van Putte, who participated in Miss CHS. To round out the year. Anchor held their spring tea to meet prospective members and to make exciting plans for the coming year. — Candi Campbell 3 174 ANCHOR 1.

Club mem- bers were involved with young boys who needed a male figure to con- fide in. The involvement included ac- tivities that gave guidance and friend- ship, as well as sharing and having a wonderful time. The annual roast and initiation bene- fited Octagon in acquiring sixteen new members. Their dedication was proven as they dressed in their business attire and stood in the rain singing. During football season club members enjoyed the sign paintings and pep rallies. As homecoming rolled around. which was one of the highlights of the year, many long hours were spent by club members in the design and prep- aration of the float. All this hard work and dedication paid off when the Oc- tagon-Optimiss float won over all oth- er clubs in the homcoming parade. When asked to help out. Octagon goes in full swing and goes it's best. The club helped the Okaloosa Guid- ance Association with over a hundred dollars worth of items needed for their Christmas drive. From stadium clean ups to canoe trips. Octagon showed that enthusi- asm and hard work paid off in making a great service club at CHS. — Robert Frey 2 1. Shawn Murphy finds being at a float work- shop makes you go a little ape. 2.

OCTAGON 177 Service club supports area Fund raisers, spirit workshops, club projects, school projects and com- munity projects; all of these are ac- tivities that kept the members of the Optimiss Service club quite active. Being a service club meant doing service projects for the area. Some of these projects are as follows: one day a month four members would attend bingo at Westwook Retire- ment Center to help the residents at the heatlh center. The girls would walk around to make sure that the residents were all playing fair. This was a pleasure for the girls to be able to help out the elders and also have fun while doing it. Another pro- ject for Westwood was decorating the area for Halloween. Meals on Wheels was a community project that was carried over from last year. Optimiss participated in the WNUE beach clean-up along with helping the Fort Walton Beach Optimist club helping with the Turkey shoot. One of their biggest community projects was the Ronald McDonald Day. The members went around town col- lecting money for the Ronald Mc- Donald House that in progress of be- ing built. This is a house for the fam- ilies of critically ill children to stay in. Not only did they have many community projects but they also helped to promote spirit. During football season they had sign paintings and other workshops for every game. 178 OPTIMISS 1 Kathy Kasch work hard this year to make Optimiss the success that it was. 2.

OPTIMISS 179 Girts club promotes spirit For the bigger games like the Fort Walton Beach game, Vex the Vi- king dolls were in mass production, along with the usual game duties. An added touch to this was the 7- up contest. Optimiss was selected as club of the week by the 7-up panel of judges. Other activities that boosted school spirit were decorating the football field house and the basketball locker room, sell- ing spirit items at the home basket- ball games, donating oranges to both the football and basketball players. They gave goodies to sev- eral different groups all through the year. They continued to tradition of hosting the Thanksgiving Dinner for all the service clubs. Which proved 2 once again to be a big success. Other traditions that were carried out again last year were things like participating in homecoming activi- ties such as initiation, building a float, which won them first place in the homecoming parade. A new addition last year that will hopefully continue on to be a tradition was a pizza party for all the members before a basketball game. Then they went to the game to show the optimiss spirit. Some of their money making pro- jects were things like stadium clean- ups. selling Worlds Finest Chocolate, and on Valentines Day they sold heart shopped messages at CHS. — Kathy Kelley 180 OPTIMISS 1.

They served the school and community with a spirit only these girls had. The school was decorated with spirit signs made es- pecially for fostering spirit among the students. The football team was the lucky recipient of spirit buttons made by Entre Nous members. The community benefited from the organization in many ways. One of the special service projects of Entre Nous was a donation to the Ronald McDonald House. This dona- tion enabled its recipient to help more ill children and their families. The teachers at Choctaw were the beneficiaries of the Teacher Appre- ciation Day held by the club. The 2 radio stations were also shown ap- preciation by the club. Another community interest of Entre Nous was the School of Hope. The girls donated their time and tal- ents to a job which required much patience. The school received the proceeds from the annual Little Miss Playground pageant sponsored in the fall by the organization. When the organization was not busy donating money to worthy causes, the members held fund rais- ers. As in all clubs, these were nec- essary for survival. The girls baked cakes and cookies for a bake sale. All of this added up to a busy year. — Michele Harris 3 1 182 ENTRE NOUS 4 5 1.

With the induction of the new members, Leo also undertook the task of building their float that took second place in the homecoming parade. Also included among the projects during the year were the club's participation in the opening of the new Visionnaires Center, and their annual prom fashion show, sponsored by Claire's Bridals and Nathan's Formals. Another activity club members participated in was the weekly Lions club luncheon. Leo sent two members each week to catch up on current Lions club events and to inform the Lions of what the CHS branch of the Leo club was doing for the school and community. No school organization can be successful without the leadership of good officers; like those in Leo. The officers for the 1982-83 school year were: president; John Marshall, boy's vice-pres.; Mark Chancellor, girl's vice-pres.; Jill Moses, secretary; Lyn McNeill, asst, sec.; Tyree Bree- don, treasurer; Amy Kuhn, hist.; Re- nee Schapley, and parliamentarian; Jennifer Papantonis. In addition to these hard-working individuals, an- other determined individual was their sponsor, Mr. Randy Nelson, and also Mr. Kit Edwards lent a helping hand whenever necessary to bring the 1983 school year to a successful end for the Leo club. — Amy Kuhn s 1.

The club helped out with making sausages, cleaning up and sweep- ing floors at the Kiwanis Pancake Day. They also assisted the children with fishing at the Kiwanis Fishing Day. The key clubbers helped the faculty by cleaning boards, room clean ups, and presenting the out- standing teachers with the Teacher of the Month Award. Key club helped the community through parking cars at bazaars and walk- ing along with the Billy Bowlegs floats to keep small children from getting hurt. The key club members somehow always found time for fun. They en- joyed a costumed Halloween party, as well as, a Christmas party with their sister club, Keyettes. These get togethers featured food, fun, music and exchanging gifts, and sharing time with their club sisters. The Fall and Spring roasts were also fun-filled. The clubbers made guys interested in joining the club do various acts to prove that they wanted to get in the club. The old members chose the select few that would become keys .

Theirs was an organization of girls who donated much of their time to school and community service projects. Unlike many other clubs, the Keyettes did not wait for the school year to start before they be- gan their activities. Instead, their work began in the summer with many car washes and meetings. The girls also held a doughnut sale to help raise money for the upcoming year. Many Keyettes helped park cars for the Billy Bowlegs Ball which took place in June. Club members also helped with Meals on Wheels by delivering lunches to the elderly. After school started, Keyette meetings were held every other Wednesday, but many extra meet- ings were scheduled between times. The girls started off the year by participating in a canned food drive, and donated toothpaste and toothbrushes to the alcoholic cen- ter. During football season Keyettes remembered the football players with popsicles, goodie bags, and boutonnieres. The spirited club members who spent many hours making spirit buttons, signs, and cre- ating their homecoming float, helped in being the Most Spirited Club of the Week, many times. They also participated in Project Cheer by making Christmas cards for the mental health patients and collected money for the Ronald Mc- Donald House. 2 188 KEYETTES 3 4 1.

In addi- tion some of the more enthusiastic members brought baked goods for teacher appreciation week, the blood drive, and the Miss CHS pageant. A highlight of the year for the Keyettes was when the American Cancer Society awarded them a trophy for donating more money than the Keyette clubs from sur- rounding schools over the past three years. The money they raised was from their annual rock-a-thon which took place at the mall; their traditional spot from years past. Although the members of Keyettes put in a lot of hard work, they also set aside time just for fun. They often met with members of Key Club, the brother to Keyettes, for several pizza parties and social get-togethers. Members of both Key club and Keyettes had a Hal- loween costume party that turned out to be a real success as did their Christmas party also. This was a for- mal gathering in which the members of the two clubs interchanged gifts with their brothers and sisters. Later in the year they mixed fun with com- munity service when they held their beach clean-up which was also an- other giant success to end 1982-83. — Melissa Kehlem Amy Kuhn 190 KEYETTES 10 1 Michelle Miller can't remember where she is because her pony tails are too tight. 2.

It stressed self-education and enjoy- ment in everything we did. That was the response of Mrs. Marshall, curriculum coordinator, when asked about her philosophy on education. Mrs. Marshall felt that the school was one of a select group; the extracurricular activities gave the students an incentive in which they worked harder and kept up their grades. The jobs of administration were as varied as day and night. The man who oversaw the entire operation was the principal, Mr. Richard Bounds. Compiling the thousands of figures to ensure that the proper funding for the school was received. was the job of Mr. Griffin. Mr. Leon- ard, the man behind the board of education, took care of all the dis- cipline problems. The job of deputy principal took up the majority of Mr. Walton's time. He was always ready to assist Mr. Bounds. Although they worked long hard hours, time for the students was always available. The front office was a place where the buck stopped and the advice to the students started. Even during the busiest day. no one was ever turned away. The adminis- trators were and always will be the backbone to a sound and resource- ful education. — Renee Schapley Mike Bazerque 194 ADMINISTRATION - ' 1.

These were an integral part of the students' lives while at Choctaw. The guidance office was essential in the growth of the students. The counselors. Mrs. Catlin, Mr. Dear- man, and Mrs. Stone were there to help with academic as well as per- sonal problems. They prepared stu- dents for college with seminars be- fore each SAT test date and got their transcripts ready to send to colleges. Betty Harriston, the Occu- pational Specialist, assisted students with job applications and writing re- sumes. She gave them the self-con- fidence they needed for the tasks they must undertake in these jobs. The library was very important to the students' studies at Choctaw. Almost every student used the li- brary whether for pleasure or for necessary studying. The library had almost limitless resources for the use of students, including 20,000 books. 150 different magazines, thousands of filmstrips, tapes, video equip- ment, projectors, and recorders. There were two librarians, Ms. Maudlin-Foresman. and Mrs. Lane, who also helped with annual staff; and a professional aide, Mrs. Pitts, all of whom were available to help stu- dents in finding the materials that they needed. These departments have been important to each student at Choc- taw and were greatly appreciated. — Michele Harris 2 196 LIBRARY AND GUIDANCE ARTHUR COLE: Am. History.

Credits in both of these areas were requirements for a student to graduate. Collecting 16 credits for graduation meant that a student must now take more math and science, besides the three re- quired years of English. The Florida state legislature man- dated special funds to increase the math and English competencies in order to help students with the SSAT testing. All students must pass these tests for a high school diploma. Choctaw's math department, un- der the leadership of Mr. Francis Salter, offered a wide variety of subjects in the math field. Classes ranged from basic business math, to advanced placement calculus, to our teachers the newest addition to the depart- ment, computer math. With the high technological advancements, computer literacy has been added to the three R's. Computers made their appearances in many class- rooms, ranging from math to typing, in order to prepare students for the future. The English department, headed by Mrs. Randy Friese. also offered a wide variety of classes. The newest addition to this department was the gifted English program. A two-hour time block allowed the students one hour of English related studies. The second hour was used as indepen- dent study for the student to obtain job training, or to explore interests he or she might have. — Tim Prescott Marianne Helms 198 BACK TO BASICS JENNY HAMILTON: Student Activities Director.

In each class, students grasped a new understanding of the language along with the history and culture of the country. The study of foreign languages required unending research and many hours of practice. This knowledge opened many doors for job opportunities in the Americas and abroad. Students skilled in linguistics may pursue a job as an interpreter, teacher, or travel guide, to name a few. With that in mind, students were eager to embark upon the challenge of a new language. They were stopped short when they were asked, Was ist diene name? ; Como se llama? ; and Comment vous-appelez vous? But as time went on and an insur- mountable load of homework was assigned, students had begun to enrich their vocabulary of a foreign tongue. After a few weeks of class, students were having conversations among themselves as if they were speaking in English instead of a for- eign tongue. For students who wished to con- tinue their education of languages, different levels were defined. Honor clubs were created to assist the stu- dents with their interests in different languages. They were: French, Spanish, and German Honors. With the fine help and under- standing of the teachers, students were able to get a firmer hold on the peoples and their customs. This was evident through the interest in these courses. — Cory Longer 200 FOREIGN LANGUAGES JAMES LEDOUX: Chemistry I; Chemistry II; Octagon club. RHONDA LONG: Comp.

Discovering past and future The students at Choctawhatchee High started off the year of 1982 with high spirits after a long and en- joyable summer break. Science classes helped everyone get right back into the swing of things. Ever- ything from general chemistry to physics was offered. The science department required the students to turn in a science fair project. Knowledge of chemistry was broad- ened through participation in var- ious classroom projects. Anatomy and oceanography were two popular courses with CHS students. The anatomy classes were busy disecting feenal pigs as they have done in previous years. While the oceanography group took a deep-sea fishing trip to learn more about the affects of the ocean on us and the creatures in it. Social studies as in previous years was full of interesting and educa- tional lecturers, one of which was Bob Sykes who talked about his life as a senator. The history students were able to get a more indepth look at America through a total year program of two semesters. The American government classes took a knowledgeable and interesting look at the United States constitution which expanded their views of the American gov- erning body. The Choctawhatchee student body, as a whole, acted with enthu- siasm in learning and participating in the fields of science and social stud- ies. These courses helped to bring Choctaw to the top in the educa- tional field. — Garett Dykes 2 202 SOCIAL STUDIES BILLVE NORRIS: Foods and Nutrition. Miss CHS. FRED PITTS General Science and Health.

Talent paves new tomorrow The drama department saw no major changes in the way of proce- dures, curriculum, or advisors, but it did see many new students eager to learn the art of the stage. Speech classes soon put students at ease when faced with speaking to large groups of people. Aspiring ac- tors and actresses were always found rehedrsing in the halls. These students then took their freshly ac- quired knowledge to the forensics tournaments. Once again, Choc- taw was outstanding, showing that dedication does work wonders. The art students did their share of contributing to the artistic talent at Choctaw. Individual masterpieces were entered in fairs and art shows, and Indian artists earned many rib- bons and awards. — Candi Cambell The 1982-1983 school year brought a number of changes to Choctawhatchee High School. Many of these changes were evi- dent in the music, drama, and art departments. Students enrolled in those classes put forth many long hours and a lot of hard work to keep Choctaw the best training ground for high school performing arts. The students involved in the music program had a very exciting year. The band gained a new director, asst, director, and color guard advi- sor, and the ratings earned at festi- vals and contests were still superior. The chorus acquired new uniforms, and a Choral Parents Organization was started. Rehearsals were long, but hard practice still proved to be the key to good performances. 204 ARTISTS AND PERFORMERS _____ MELODY SCHAFER: Oral Comm.; Am. Lit. CATHY SCHIPLEY: Senior Counselor.

BECKY STONE Sophomore Counselor Student choices were many During the 1982-83 school year students at Choctaw benefited from the elective courses offered in the curriculum. They ranged from physical education for the active students to R.O.T.C. for the more military-minded. The R.O.T.C. pro- gram stressed building character and leadership among the students. In the physical education classes knowledge was acquired about team sports and keeping in good physical condition through a well developed and continual program. The drivers education course, which taught the correct driving rules and safety habits of the road, was also offered each semester to those stu- dents who had obtained a restrict- ed drivers license. Since the success of many individ- ual depends on home conditions 2 and the attitudes of its members, the home economics department offered such vital courses as child development and family living which helped educate the student in these areas. Other interesting courses were interior decorating, clothing, and foods and nutrition. For the students who enjoyed singing there were chorus classes to help improve their vocal and breathing skills. Speech and drama classes were also available to strengthen self-confidence and public speaking ability. Courses in drafting rounded out the varied cur- riculum offered through electives. These among all the other classes available were an essential part of the learning process which was of- fered to the students at Choctaw. — Mike Powell 206 ELECTIVES SUZANNE STRICKLAND: Foods.

Craftsmanship for futurity Bay Area Vocational Technical School and the industrial arts classes provided wonderful opportunities for all Choctawhatchee High School students to learn a trade. Many stu- dents who faced career decisions were greatly helped by these voca- tional programs. The schedule at Vo-Tech was very flexible. It allowed students, as well as business men and women a chance to attend. Some students would go a whole day. yet others only a half day. Students could even go through the summer for credit. A variety of courses were offered to benefit the students. Those who were unsure or undecided about their future could choose from such courses as air conditioning and heating repair, masonry, carpentry, plumbing, and many more. The industrial arts department had many classes at Choctawhat- chee which were also important in helping students decide on future careers. These classes provided knowledge that would be invalu- able to the students in their future indeavors. Some of the classes be- ing offered were drafting, industrial materials and processes, as well as constructions industries. The combination of effort from Vo-tech and industrial arts made the final outcome for many a suc- cess. Those who wished to pursue careers instead of attending col- lege benefited from these two pro- grams as well as the ones who wanted to see what knowledge was available to them. The learning experiences gained through the year were great ones! — Kathy Dewrell 2 208 INDUSTRIAL ARTS 5 1.

Students mastering dictation skills, fingers tapping typewriter keys, and the endless search for accounting errors were found in the business classrooms. During the last year, the business department at Choctaw, under the guidance of Mrs. Frankie Middleton, expanded both techni- qually and beneficially. Choctaw aided students to ac- quire knowledge needed for col- lege and a successful career. The variety of courses, ranging from typ- ing to advanced accounting, al- lowed students to obtain an overall view of the business world. The ad- vancement of these courses indi- cated a student's interest in the field. Most students attending school took typing to obtain a solid background for the future. The stu- dent interested, in this field was benefited with the addition of com- puters. The courses familiarized one with the operation of the machines. The uses and purposes of these computers were also discussed. During the second semester, two new courses were offered ... busi- ness law and american economics. The business law course was a mini- course covering the important ma- terial of the regular class. The value of business organization in society was stressed in American econom- ics. These courses added a new di- mension to the business courses at Choctaw. This expansion benefited and increased the opportunities available for the students. — Michelle Miller 3 GINNV JORDAN: Chorus; Music Theory; Guitar; Music Honor.

Home economic education was more of an intense study tha just cooking and sewing. There were classes having to do with child de- velopment, family economics, fam- ily living, textiles and clothing, spe- cialized clothing, food and nutrition, home furnishings, and interior deco- rating. These classes had much to offer and helped many students and their futures after graduating from high school. In child development classes the students learned how to take care of young children. These classes taught teens how to deal with the social and emotional growth of young tots. They did this by working with some children from this area. Family economics taught each student family financial planning. It gave the teens a better under- standing of the real world's money problems, budgeting, banking and buying practices for the future. Preparation for marriage and family life were among the subjects of family living class. Students were taught and shown the responsibil- ities of parenthood and marriage There were two classes for cloth- ing: one for beginners, and a spe- cialized clothing lab, which stressed fashion for the advanced students. The home economics depart- ment had foods classes that taught the future housewives and bache- lors of the world how to cook for themselves. All of these classes were helpful in preparing students for the immediate future. — Kim Carr i 212 HOME ECONOMICS 1.

HOME ECONOMICS 213 Choctaw’s friendly helpers The secretarial staff and mainten- ance personnel did many tasks that were above the call of duty throughout the school year. They enabled the faculty and students to make it through the year by taking care of the problems that plagued CHS. These staffs often went unack- nowledged, but their work was greatly appreciated by everyone. The secretarial staff was com- prised of 8 women, each of which did more than their share of the work. They were able of wade through the paperwork and keep track of everything related to CHS. These ladies had their own individual job which had its own demands. Mrs. Pappas and Mrs. Fredericks, the bookkeepers, managed the busi- ness and money related part of the work load. While Mrs. McCarty took care of the attendance office and the many absentees, Mrs. Groomes handled the visitors to the discipline office. Mrs. Brewer and Mrs. Rooks scheduled appointments in the guidance office, as well as, all the transcripts and test results. The in- coming visitors and phone calls, and Mr. Bounds' tasks were done by Mrs. Baker and Mrs. Prine. The maintenance personnel were responsible for the school looking nice and clean. They were kept busy picking up papers and hall decorations which had fallen down, and just making everything look good. They, also, did a great deal of remodeling throughout the school. These persons helped everyone feel good about Choctaw. — Michele Harris 214 SECRETARY AND MAINTENANCE 7 1.

K SECRETARY AND MAINTENANCE 215 Staff serves meals with a smile The diligent lunchroom staff be- gan their busy day at 5 o'clock ev- ery morning, arriving early enough to provide busy students with breakfast and staying to provide lunch. Besides serving students well, the lunchroom staff also provided students with a friendly break from the hectic academic schedule. Most students at Choctaw over- looked the cafeteria, even with all its benefits. There was a large selec- tion of entrees available to the average student, with a salad bar, a fast food line, and a regular lunch line. The regular lunch line was differ- ent everyday, offering the students a variety of meals throughout each week of school. The food was always of the high- est quality, having to meet the mini- mum federal standards just like all other eating establishments. It was very appealing to the eye. having many colors intersperced around the plate. The regular lunch served by the cafeteria staff was a bal- anced meal, consisting of a meat, a bread, a vegetable, and a milk or a milkshake. For those students who dislike milk products, a soft-drink was available in many flavors of Hi-C. Another benefit of eating at school was the price. Although the cost did rise in 1981, it was still much lower than the cheapest fast-food places in town. Granted, the ham- burger palaces proved more ap- pealing; the quality offered was lower while the prices were higher. — John Webster 2 216 CAFETERIA CAFETERIA 217 1.

But in 1982-83 this feeling of spirit was in abundance especial- ly in the senior class. As in past years the 1983 class chose ten of its most spirited Indians to represent them as the leaders of school spirit. These seniors were chosen for their out- standing school spirit, their ability to promote it and their involvement in school activities. Involved they were — from head cheerleader to quar- terback, to club presidents, out- standing singers, school leaders, and class clowns, who were always ready and willing. They were also exceptional in their leadership quali- ties throughout their years at Choctawhatchee. Selected were: Robin Davis, Vicki Borinski, Kenny Roberts, Cleveland McNabb, Hope Gaither, Prue Tippins, Toni Drago. Maria Horton. Gigi Smith, and Polly Tras. These gave upcoming classes something to live up to in their future years at Choctaw. 226 SENIORS 1. Vicki Borinski shows her schoolspirit through her outstanding cheerleading. 2.

JUNIORS 261 Middle class base of CHS The 1982-83 junior class as a group, consisted of over one third of the Choctawhatchee student body. It's officers were Susan Vaja. Pres.; Carey Hobson. Vice Pres.; Cathy Michas. Secretary; Jan Buhr. Treasurer; and Kim Carter, Historian. These dedicated young ladies; working together, did their absolute best to see that it was the best year possible for the middle classmen and the soon to be seniors. The president and her officers guided the junior class through many sign paintings during football season, which helped raise the spirit of the football team. Several weeks of float workshops were also part of the junior class events. The float, of course, was to be contributed to the homecoming parade. Candy and Choctaw sweaters were sold to help raise money for the Junior- Senior Class Prom which was in May. Those not sure of a date were of- fered a computer match-up by the junior class. Everyone who was inter- ested filled out an applciation. The combined efforts of these of- ficers, lead the juniors through a very successful school year. — Melissa Beasley 1.

Whether it be the start of school, a football game or pep rally, or graduation. You could certainly be sure that something interesting was happening or about to. One of those things was attending con- certs. Never could you go any- where without hearing about the concert that was coming soon. School night or not people were always wondering whether or not they could get off work, afford fo go, get a ride and, most important, would it be worth it? Weekend con- certs tended to be more popular, but school night concerts were well attended also. This didn't even af- fect attendance of school, be- cause students are always willing to show off their t-shirts. The concerts varied from Michael Jackson to Ozzy Osborn and ever- ything in between. Students went as far as Biloxi, Miss, to Tallahassee to see their favorites like Journey, Def Leppard, and REO Speedwa- gon. What ever the case, the con- cert dilemma by no means is fading out, but growing with the demand to see more and more of the groups that are popular. — Melissa Beasley CHUCK STEWART LISA STORMS ERIN SULLIVAN KAREN SUNDY I.

Many projects were accom- plished because of the tremendous effort put forth by these students. The students elected by the sopho- more class were Marion Riley, president, Cyndi Cain, vice presi- dent; Chris Sawyer, secretary; Ve- ronica Smith, treasurer; and Karryn Lewis, historian. The sophomores were very active last year. They started out the year by working in the concession stands at the Junior Varsity football games and ended it by working on Senior appreciation day. The homecoming float made by the members of the sophomore class was outstanding. It acquired the first place ribbon and made all the sophomores proud. Even though it was their first year at Choctaw, they had had made an outstanding contribution to the school through their talents. The class had a great many car washes, bake sales, and even ga- rage sales. The many fund raising events were well supported by the members of the class and enabled the sophomores to have a great year and accomplish all of their projects successfully. — Kathy Dewrell DAVID COBB JOY COBB JOHN COBBS CATHY COLLINS 1.

The Sophomore class chose Laura Moody and Jet Thompson as Mr. and Miss Sophomore for the 1982-83 school year. Both were very active and supportive in school activities and deserving of the recognition they received. Laura was five feet six inches tall and had brown hair to match her brown eyes. She was chosen the sophomore homecoming attendant and was a member of the Thalians and Kappa-Y. Her interests included boating, talking on the telephone, going to the beach and spending time with her friends. Laura plans to attend Florida State University and major in merchandising. Jet also had that sophomore knack. Jet, a sixteen year old, stood five feet eleven inches tall and had brown hair and hazel eyes. He was very involved in athletics and was a member of the Junior Varsity foot- ball team, as well as a member of varsity track. His hobbies included riding his motorcycle, going to the beach and just having fun with his friends. Jet and Laura shaped the future class of 1985 with enthusiasm and dedication. They gave the baby In- dians an important place at CHS, and proved that Sophomore was a word of dignity. — Brooke Barron MARC HONGYEE BOYD HOWARD JAMES HOWARD GREG HOWELL TED HOYDEN 1 Laura Moody's Interest in nice cars shows 2 Being chosen sophomore at- tendant was one of the highlights of Laura's year 3.

They were faced with higher prices than ever before. Many students got jobs and others just resorted to cutting back on spending, which wasn't easy. Football season, as exciting as it was, was very expensive. It was a time of buying ribbons and buttons as well as tickets for the games. The brother and sister tradition carried on by the various clubs was prob- ably everyone's greatest expense. Corsages, candy, and stuffed ani- mals were some of many gifts given. The junior class project was very popular. This was one way they made money. Other personal ex- penses were class rings and prom. The seniors, of course, had the most expense of all. Some of these were portraits, senior shirts, caps and gowns, invitations, and natural- ly the trip to Disney World. To defray some of the expenses there were money making projects. Some of these were selling candy, cards, flowers and hush buttons. As you can see, even though many say education was free, the expenses involved with it were not.

Romance, fantasy, and music were the greatest box office hits and video games contin- ued to be popular this year. Even though the cost was rather high at movie theaters, students found movies as a major source of entertainment. An adorable space creature. E.T., captured the hearts of most viewers, while romance lin- gered around those who saw An Officer and a Gentleman. A favorite of many rock fans was The Wall; while others preferred the sequels to many of last year's horror films. The Eye of the Tiger was presented in Rocky III, while the musical Annie be- came a hit as a movie. Video mania seemed to have the student body of Choctaw under its control throughout the year. Chal- lengers of these games faces the likes of Pac-Man, Defender. Aster- oids. and Tempest. New games such as Donkey Kong and M-Net- work provided video addicts with new ways to spend their money. The addition of Diamond Jim's to the mall gave a new atmosphere for avid players to spend their time. — Michele Harris DONNA SHELLY MARK SHOW JAN SIMMONS JAN SIMMONS 1.

New Horizons, de- scribed perfectly the past year for Choctaw's annual advisor and learning disability teacher. There were many new challenges, such as, completing a spread which con- sisted of copy, cuts and most impor- tant clear pictures! Mind you, this person had never heard of any of these terms before, other than pic- tures. The closest she had ever come to an annual in high school was to sign one. So, this past year really proved to be a learning situa- tion for advisor and staff. There was a lot of time, energy, and excitement, as well as dead- lines that went into creating the book. The staff seemed always ea- ger to get together, but not always eager to work. Like most organiza- tions, there was that handful of peo- ple who carried the load for all. As was mentioned at honors night, an editor of a yearbook is someone who hates deadlines, loves the free hand of creativity and gives when there is nothing left to give. The 1982-83 Tomahawk had two peo- ple with these qualities. One was very artistic and creative in graphic design, while the other had the gift to put magic in the written word for all to enjoy. As the students, faculty, and ad- ministration look through the Toma- hawk, time should be taken to ap- preciate the effort put forth by the staff. It was truly a year of many fond memories to treasure. — Karen D'Avignon 1. Robert and Melissa contemplate working on mugs. 2. R. Frey tries to look at the contact book. 3.

TOMAHA WK 353 After having spent the last three years of my life working on the annual staff I have learned a lot about Choctaw High School and a lot about myself. I have literally devoted myself to the yearbook. I learned when I was a sophomore that a yearbook is something for not only a staff or an editor to be proud of but for the whole student body. Not many people realize the work and imagination that goes into a book of this size and quality. It is not just a picture book but a book that tells the story of an entire year of events. We started out this past year with a new advisor and almost a whole new staff. It brought many problems but it also gave me a chance to get close to a whole new group of people. Our new advisor, Ms. Karen D'Avignon had not only been a good person to work with, but a great friend to me. I want to thank her, my parents, and all my friends who have encouraged and put up with me, even in those moments when I wanted to quit. I hope that this book is an adequate return of good memories that all of my friends and family have given me. — Amy Kuhn 1983 Tomahawk Editor Colophon No. Pages — 360 No. Copies — 803 Printer — Josten's American Yearbook Company Clarksville.

There just are too many for them to be placed down on this paper. Being editor was a dream of mine until I came to Chocta- whatchee. This school made my dream come true. I would like to thank the school with all my heart for doing this. Annual has been the best part of my senior year. If I had it to do all over again I would. Since we had a new advisor this year it was quite tough on the staff. Besides the staff was green itself. But I love Ms. D'Avignon to death and I would like to thank her for all of her hard work and effort that she placed into this book. As for the staff there were times when I could have killed each and everyone of them but thanks for everything. One finds it hard to see where the parents help but it is clear to me that without their support and encouragement I would have given up a long time ago. Mom and Dad I love you and thanks for everything. Sincerely, Renee Xan Schapley Tomahawk Editor 1983 354 COLOPHON EDITORS 355 1. Betsy Autry contemplates her life after graduation. 2.
