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
