CHS on warpath for FWB vikes Everywhere you turned there was war paint and spirit! It was that time of year again: Choctaw-Ft. Walton Week. 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
