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

PEP RALLIES 17 Indians have pride inside! 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
