Students pulled on their bathing suits, grabbed surfboards and scrounged for suntan oil, as they all made a mad dash for the sparkling white beaches. With school work, homework, exams, and waking up early no longer on their minds, students enjoyed many activities. Among the favorite were sailing, surfing and going to the beach. Girls enjoyed sunbathing and flirting with their favor- ite guy as they caught up on the latest summer gossip with their friends. The guys, on the other hand, were laid back and took full advantage of their summer vacation. Other than the beach, students enjoyed going horseback riding on long trails winding through the woods. Canoeing was also a favorite. Many families took exciting vacations all over the world. These proved to be educational and a lot of fun. Blue Ridge, another summer favorite, once again attracted many students. They excitedly packed their bags and headed for the refreshing break of the Blue Ridge Mountains in North Caroli- na. Summer nights were often spent going to movies or parties with family of friends. Those who enjoyed the out- standing summer sunsets could be seen taking walks along the shoreline and searching for seashells at dusk. As the summer came to an end, many students rushed to the beach to soak up a few last minute rays. Back to school shopping also became a necessity, as both males and females were seen run- ning in and out of stores with numerous shopping bags and boxes. They also at- tempted to catch up on long neglected sleep as school approached. — Brooke Barron 10 SUMMER A Place For Relaxation 1.

SUMMER 13 1 Fun With Friends Make Your Own Kind of Music was the theme of this year's summer High School Values Conference, which was held at Black Mountain, N.C. Sponsored by the YMCA, Blue Ridge, as it was com- monly called, centered its theme on help- ing young people through the decision process. Choctaw senior Todd Turner, a confer- ence vice-president, led a delegation of ninety-five from the Fort Walton Beach area to the conference. There each par- ticipated in a family of about fifteen people. Each member of a family devel- oped a deeper understanding of himself, his moral values, and his relations with others as a result of sharing with his family. Besides being a place for group discus- sion, role playing, and self-examination, Blue Ridge was a place for having a won- derful vacation. Way Out Games, square and round dancing, a Blue Grass concert, a Family Feud, and a carnival with a hot air balloon ride were just a few of the activities offered to the delegates of the conference. The last day at Blue Ridge was celebrated by a semi-formal banquet and dance. The evening ended with the traditional Fire of Friendship, a giant bonfire that symbolized the spirit and love that everyone shared during the conference. Planning for the 1984 Conference was well underway by the end of Blue Ridge '83. Choctaw senior Marnie Johnson was elected as the President of Blue Ridge '84. This conference was assured to be as great a success as the 1983 Conference, as Marnie was a dedicated worker who had attended Blue Ridge for the past three years. Other seniors who participated in the Blue Ridge Assembly were Kathy Kelley, Jan Buhr, Peg Gunnels, and Laur- ette Anderson. They and the other stu- dents representing Choctaw learned much from the experience while gaining new friendships and further developing their personalities. — Addy Robinson 14 BLUE RIDGE Delegation Sees The Mountains 1.

Is it any wonder that hundreds of high school stu- dents make sure that some fun time at Blue Ridge is included in their plans? BLUE RIDGE 15 The Place To Be Ft. Walton Beach is a vacation center for many tourists who love the southern area. Many of these tourists were college students from Alabama, Louisiana, Mis- sissippi, and various parts of Florida. The main attraction was the beautiful, crystal clear water near the beaches for miles down the western side of Florida's coastline. The average temperature was 80° a year, so it is obvious that there were many beach days for both the tourists and the local to enjoy. The most popular spots were near the Ramada Inn, at Way- side Park, and near the Carousel. Walk- ing down the beach, and even just sun- bathing, people were sure to see their friends and classmates, cute tourist guys or girls, and family groups basking in the bright sunlight. A favorite beach pastime was surfing. Many times, teen- agers were seen waiting under piers, watching for good waves on which to test their balance, skill, and coordina- tion. Another favorite was sailing. The wind carried these boats through the sparkling water. People love to watch these beautiful, brightly colored canvas sails glide by. Another major attraction was Eglin Air Force Base. It is the largest Air Force base in the United States and is also the lar- gest employer in Ft. Walton. The Santa Rosa Mall was the hangout for many teens. On Friday and Saturday nights, they seemed to fill up the shop- ping center. There was always some- thing to do. For example, there are four cinemas, a record store, many clothes stores, fast food restaurants, and video game rooms. Three special areas of interest to tourists and locals alike were the Gulfarium, the Indian Temple Mount Museum, and the Camp Walton Schoolhouse. They were all intriguing to walk through and look at. Also, the Temple Mound and School- house contain a bit of Ft. Walton's histo- ry — Suzy Solomon 16 COMMUNITY Hot Spots Around The Community Sharks Sec Lions Porpoise Seals Scuba Divers Otters Pe quins Fi h OPEN am LAST SHOW «i ' S'AV’S 8 | 1.

This look included bermuda shorts, plaids, madras shirts, and kha- kies. Dress clothes were not forgotten. They were worn not only on dates, but to school as well. The girls' conservative dresses, worn with a bow tie around the neck and pumps, were a popular style. Guys livened up the school scene with blazers, buttondowns, neckties and pen- ny loafers. Popular colors were pink and gray and, as always, black and white. Opposing the dressy style was the out- door look. Faded jeans, cowboy boots, and plaid shirts fitted into this category. This was probably the most popular style, worn frequently because it was both fashionable and comfortable. Fashions and fads at Choctaw last year were better than ever, and students showed their personalities in all they wore. — Brooke Barron Dressing At Fashions during the 1983-84 school year were bigger and better than ever. Skip- ping from summer straight into fall, the surfing styles, which consisted of baggy shorts, flip flops, and tee-shirts, were a hit both on and off the beach. Exercising became a must during the school year, as guys worked at building up their muscles, while girls tried to get toned up. Accompanying this craze was the sweat-shirt style. Sweatshirts were seen in all colors, shapes, sizes, and de- signs. Among the most popular were the off the shoulder and baggy looks. Minidresses and miniskirts were also a favorite last year. Girls enjoyed the com- fort and style, and the guys enjoyed the way the girls looked in them. The most popular style was the denim miniskirt This style coordinated well with almost everything in a girl's wardrobe. Traditions And New Fashions 1.

FASHIONS FADS 19 A Week Of Madness It came in the beginning of November. The day looked forward to and yet dread- ed by all underclassmen. It was initiation week. The week of insanity, where high school students make complete fools of themselves. They dressed up as everyth- ing from Big Bird to winged fairies. The initiates ducked and dodged the old members of their clubs in order to avoid making further fools of themselves. When they were caught they had to per- form such brilliant little tasks as walk- ing down the hall like a duck of singing as they roamed the corridors in mass. The Initiates could try to bribe the old members with candy and other small trinkets. The bribes usually failed as the old members remembered the fun time they had when they were initiated. They had to take revenge on the new members. However, the festivities were kept in check during classes so the poor initiates received a break from their fel- low club members. The week of fun and excitement also consisted of getting up early in the morning and going to some of the more popular food restaurants for breakfast, while making complete fools of them- selves in front of complete strangers. Even with the moments of embarrass- ment, everyone still had a fun time and those who were initiated looked forward to initiation next time. — Joe Wojciechowski 20 HOMECOMING Club Initiations Lead To . . . 9 1.

This year the festivities took an enormous amount of work and effort, which in turn paid off in the long run. The week spent preparing for this gala event was hectic and tedious, but fun and exciting as well. 1983-1984 Homecoming Queen Ann McCombs, in all her elegant dress, was escorted by Todd Turner, and showed the poise, dignity, and pride of Choctaw. She was attended by Senior Michelle Beggin, escorted by Jim Denison, Junior Julie Sullivan, escorted by Jeff Rynear- son, and Sophomore Kelly Frazier, es- corted by Trey Runnels. Lovely Queen Ann McCombs made Homecoming a night to remember. The horrendous rain storm which lashed the stadium did not dampen the school spirit of the confident Choctaw crowd. While the parade had to be cancelled due to the weather, the fans were not discour- aged. Dressed in their rain coats and oth- er foul weather gear, the fans waited for the game to get under way. As the action on the field began, they yelled with ex- citement. They cheered the Indians on with an unmatched fervor. During half-time, a mini-parade was sent around the field. The winning floats were shown to the crowd, which cheered on delights as they went by the crowds. The queen was crowned during halftime as the rain let up for awhile. Our Indian football players fought to pull through a 13-6 victory over West Jefferson High School, the second ranked team in Louisanna. The determi- nation of these players was felt through- out the night and entire week. — Del Manley 22 HOMECOMING A Night Of Enchantment . . . 1.

The excitement level at pep rallies this year was far beyond that of any other year. The band played with an enthusiasm unmatched by any other band as the entire student body cheered on their winning football team. With the team winning district, the crowds in the gym determined to make the decible lev- el higher than any before. It was a Friday morning pretty much like that that of any other morning except that this Friday morning was the day of the first football game of the year. The cheerleaders, band, and football players joined the P.E. classes tensely awaiting the start of the Big Green Pep rally. Then the first note of Big Green reverberated through the school and the seniors were released. They were soon followed by the Juniors and lastly the confused Sophomores. It was the day to end all days; yet it was only the beginning. The crowd slowly came alive like a bear awakening from a long winter's nap. Their spirit rose throughout the year to the all time high it reached on the Fort Walton game day. The flashlight pep ral- ly that night had prepared some for what was to come, but others were not ready for the amazing excitement of that morn- ing. The noise level rose to a point that was not attainable to human ears. With the raising spirit level the crowd proved that the feeling of homefield ad- vantage was just that. They took the pep rally to the stands and caused the other team to call time-out in fustration. All in all the pep rallies helped make the team what it was. An Choctaw was the no. 1 school in the nation. — Del Manley 24 PEP RALLIES CHS Spirit No 1 1.

PEP RALLIES 25 1 2 I To Beat Ft. Walton As the tradition rolled on for the thirteenth consecutive year, the nation's “Most Spirited High School,” began to shimmer in the spot- light. This year. Spirit Week for the Ft. Walton vs. Choctaw game was the same as always, but better. With the student body and faculty keeping up with that 7-UP spirit, CHS was a bustling place of excitement. Monday started off the week with “Hats off to the Vikes, and “Shine on Big Green. On this day a turn of a corner left one in a daze with the many styles of hats and glasses worn by those who par- ticipated. Tuesday was claimed “No Sweat Vikes, with the students and faculty alike dressed in sweatshirts and tennis shoes. Wednesday was designated Club the Vi- kings, this day was for all clubs to partici- pate and wear their club shirts. 26 FWB WEEK 3 With Friday right around the corner, Thurs- day seemed to be the start of a victory over the Ft. Walton Beach Vikings. Students were asked to participate and show Ft. Walton that Choctawhatchee could Outclass the Vi- kings, by dressing up for the occasion. W hen the annual Flashlight Pep Rally was held on Thursday night, spirit, pride, and Indian courage broke out of its shell and cap- tured everyone there. Whether you were past alumni, a faculty member, a student, or just a mere spectator, you could feel the strength of our powerful school. On Friday morning there were plenty of In- dians on the Warpath. During the pep rally Big Green Spirit was everywhere. Plenty of participation by those attending the pep rally helped the Green Machine get ready for an awesome victory over Ft. Walton. In the first quarter the game was still up in the air. By the end of the first half Choctaw was in the spotlight with a touchdown scored by Mike Schrider late in the second quarter. Going into the third quarter there was still a possibility that Ft. Walton could bring out a victory, but as they were soon to find out, Bryan Coffey scored a touchdown and by this time it was evident to the spectators that CHS was going to win the 1-AAAA District Title with a score of 14-0. 4 — Marcie Van Vleck Choctaw Spirit Shines On FWB WEEK 27 1.

Although Choctaw played a large part of students' lives this year, free time after school was spent in various ways. For example, jobs took up a large part of the afternoon and evening for many stu- dents, including those who were saving money for the expense of college. Other students who were not college-bound held down jobs just to have a little extra spending money for themselves for clothes, food, and other forms of enter- tainment. When the week-ends rolled around there were almost always a few Choctaw stu- dents roaming around the mall, either shopping or spending time with friends. Whenever boredom threatened, there was always the refuge of the arcade, and plenty of places to eat. With four the- aters in town it was easy to catch a good movie, and for some people the beach was still an enjoyable place to go even after the warm weather faded away. The most common and ever-popular oc- cupation of most students after school was simply spending time with friends, whether it was going out to eat, shop- ping, catching a movie, or just being to- gether. Following this was the not-so- popular but timeless occupation, the one thing all students dread — homework. RISE OF THE ™ I AMERICAN NATION W 1 itieUNITED STATES mutaroji® 4 . The most popular gathering place this year was McDonald's. On any week-end there were crowds of friends collected at McDonalds having a good time. Run- ning a close second were the pizza par- lors, including Mr. Gatti's and Godfa- thers. On Friday nights after victorious football games these places were espe- cially crowded with excited students celebrating a triumph. Two discoveries made by many teens this year after the movies Flashdanceand of course Stayin' Alive came out were aerobics and jazz classes. A sudden trend towards exercise and fitness saw many students headed toward local classes once or twice a week to get in better shape or just to get some exercise. — Enger Clements 30 AFTER HOURS Is There Life After Sixth Period? 5 31 1.

Actors At Work On a cold, rainy Thursday in January, the curtains parted on the stage of the Choctawhatchee auditorium. The stage was set — for MURDER!! So began the Thalian Honor Society pre- sentation of Murder in the Magnolias, a comedy spoof of Southern drama, writ- ten by Tim Kelly. It was an excellent production, the play having bits of real humor sprinkled among bad puns. Di- rector Maresa Gamble did a wonderful job bringing everything together and was assisted by the indispensable Mary Ready. All those involved in the play worked especially hard before it all came togeth- er at curtain time. The actors and acresses spent long hours memorizing their lines and late nights practicing their parts. The stage, sound, and light- ing crews spent much time working on the many various effects that had to be produced on the stage. Starring in the Thalian production were Rick Pitts as Col. Ranee Chickenwing; Paige Hyland as his sister, Amanda; Joy Cobb as their crude but humorous housekeeper, Jezebel; Val Ernst as the portentous Voodoo Woman; Brandon Siebenaler as Pete Bogg; Jeff Ebeoglu as the eccentric author, Thornbird Chick- enwing, III; Mark Vinci as Bubba Kam- rowski; Tracy Rattigan as social secre- tary Lorraine Carruthers; Derek Shiplov as Lawyer Possum; Barbara Cohn as Princess Lotta Karo, an actress on the brink of disaster; Glen Ring as Sheriff Billy Jerk; and Peg Gunnels as Blanche du Blank. The stage managers for the production were Owen Powell and Mark Show. Everyone involved did an excellent job coping with all the trials such a produc- tion can present. Their dedication brought many laughs to an enthusiastic audience. — Addy Robinson 32 PLAY PLAY 33 Choctaw Stage 1.

The curtains opened to an expectant au- dience on the night Mr. Mock 1984 was presented. The emcees, Carla God- win and Teri Gray, announced the par- ticipants after they did a dance routine to the Bob Seger song Give Me That Old Time Rock-n-Roll. Their enthusiasm seemed to rub off on the audience, as everyone tapped their feet to the music and laughed at the guys' attempts to stay synchronized. After the opening act came the formal wear. Many of the contestants wore suits and tuxedos, but most did the normal routines of wearing shorts with dressy tops, and some of the outfits were ex- tremely bizarre! Next came the talents. Eight groups of guys were specially chosen for their tal- ent beforehand, jay Tribble portrayed David Lee Roth of Van Halen — the only thing missing was the long hair! There was a band entitled Bobby Lewis and the Sprews, who jumped on everything except their microphones — amazing! Russell Byrne and his group were dis- guised Beach Boys. They sang three Beach Boys selections and were so good. music was not even needed as a back-up!! Joe Papallatoc played a drum solo and showed an amazing amount of coordina- tion. Terry Allen and La Vaughn Meyers played a trumpet and drum duet and were accompanied by some other talent- ed members from the Choctawhatchee Style Marchers. John Dill played a great guitar solo, and was the only sophomore who participated in the talent area. Jon Preston sang the ever-popular John Den- ver song Rocky Mountain High, and showed an amazing amount of talent for which he received a standing ovation from the audience. Terry Allen won the talent division. The next in line was the swimsuit com- petition. This is the girls' favorite part. Terry Allen won Mr. Physique. Then came the announcement of the fi- nalists.

The world passed through many close calls during the 83-84 school year. The downing of a Korean Airline jet by the Russians made many people believe that the United States and the U.S.S.R. would finally do battle. Yuri Andropov, Pre- mier of the U.S.S.R., died leaving many people worried about the new premier's actions toward the United States. In the United, disaster struck in the form of flooding and record low temperatures. The U.S. also began to think about the 1984 presidential election with anticipa- tion as President Reagan announced his campaign for re-election. On the lighter side. Princess Diana was having another baby, the space shuttle flew to new heights, and the Olympics were held. The U.S. came out with some unpredicted gold medals in the alpine events. 4 — Joe Wojciechowski 38 CURRENT EVENTS World Finally Breathes Easier 1. Princess Diane and husband.

Under the leadership of Mr. Richard Bounds, the administration laid the foundation for learning and growing at Choctaw. The administrative staff was dedicated to helping the student fulfill his or her goals for the future. Mr. Bounds, Mr. Walton, Mr. Griffin, Mrs. Johnston, Mr. Leonard, and Mr. Blackwell were all un- derstanding of the students' needs and demanding of their performances. They participated in the events of the school and the students' activities. They pro- vided a diversified program that offered something for everyone. Mr. Bounds and his staff handled large and small prob- lems of both groups and individuals with care and concern for those involved. The members of the administration pro- moted school spirit and unity. The spirit of the students, athletes, clubs, band, and other organizations all stemmed from that of the administration. Thus they not only encouraged the students to main- tain high academic and behavioral stan- dards, but they also encouraged the stu- dents to participate in extra-curricular activities and have a good time. When asked to give a one-word defini- tion of the school and the Choctaw Indi- an tribe, Mr. Bounds said Pride. One could be proud of working and learning at Choctaw. Thanks to the efforts of Mr. Bounds and the administration, Choctaw provided a purpose and direction for those who studied and taught here, which all were proud to follow. Individ- ual and group pride in the school were reflected in the attitudes and actions of the administration. This dedicated group of individuals never failed to communi- cate its pride in the students, faculty and staff of Choctaw. The administrators of Choctaw were easily available when a student had a question to ask or a need to express. They were always ready to help anyone who needed their assistance, and took a personal interest in the affairs of the Indian tribe. , , , „ , — Aaay Robinson 42 ADMINISTRATION 1.

One of these groups was the secretaries. We all know that a secretary is a person who writes letters, keeps records, and takes correspondence for a person, company, club, or school, but Choctaw's secretaries had several other tasks to attend to also. Typing daily attendance sheets, calling absentees' homes, and handling all sign outs were just some of their many other office jobs. Choc- taw's guidance secretaries handled college transcripts and helped with many student problems. Our trustworthy and hard-work- ing secretaries had many, many jobs and all of them kept Choctaw running smoothly be- fore, during, and after school hours. Choctaw's maintenance crew kept the school in tip-top condition. The custodians kept the inside of our school clean and immaculate through numerous pep rallies and special oc- casions held after school. We students some- times saw them sweeping or scrubbing the floors. Even before and after school they con- tinued their never-ending work of getting ready for yet another school day. During the changes from hot to cold weather they al- ways made sure that the nation's number one high school always looked its best. It seemed that we took the custodians and the secretaries for granted. What if one day they all decided to stay home? There would be total chaos! Who would clean up the cafe- teria floor? Who would type daily attendance sheets for the teachers? Who would get Choctaw ready for another school day? We at Choctawhatchee High School really depend- ed upon the secretaries and the maintenance to help keep our beloved school running smoothly throughout the year. The secretaries and the maintenance deserve an accolade for their hard work and dedica- tion to their jobs. So now let us, the students and the faculty members, give them enthusi- astic applause and our loyal support to the secretaries and the maintenance crew for their diligent work keeping our school running smoothly and looking its best dur- ing the 1983-84 school year. — Lesley Williams MAINTENANCE 45 Dining At Its Very Best! Good . . . delicious . . . nutrious food. This was the main accomplishment of our cafeteria workers. They prepared meals daily for the students, teachers, and guests here at Choctaw. Every morn- ing at 5:00 their work began by prepar- ing the lunches from USDA recipes. All the food served must have met the minu- mum federal standards just like all other eating establishments around the area. Many students at Choctaw overlooked the fact that they received a nutrious lunch at a cost much lower than the fast food places in town. There was a large selection of entrees of their choice also available to Choctaw students, with a regular lunch line, a fast food line, and a salad bar. The regular lunch served by the cafeteria staff was a well balanced meal. It consisted of a meat, a bread, a vegetable, and a milk. The fast food line provided the students with a variety of food preferences. Hamburgers, turkey sandwiches, fish sandwiches, subs, fresh baked rolls, french fries, shakes and ice cream were some of these choices. The salad line gave those students, who wished, a chance to create the salad of their choice. They could select from dif- ferent vegetables, cheeses, and dressings. Our diligent lunchroom staff not only cooked and served lunches, they also kept inventory on all the shipments of food the school received. They collected and counted money, washed and stacked the trays, and performed a number of other important tasks. These fine work- ers were also in charge of running the breakfast program here at Choctaw. Ev- ery morning a balanced breakfast was provided to a number of busy students, who found it impossible to find the time to eat at home. The cafeteria itself was something sig- nificant. Not only was it the place where the students came to eat, but it was here that friends came to socialize. It was this very aspect that certainly made lunch ev- eryone's favorite part of the school day. It gave the students a much needed break from their hectic academic schedule. — Susan Leone 46 CAFETERIA .

I CAFETERIA 47 The Library and Guidance Office have always been eager to offer assistance to students. Choctawhatchee's Guidance Office is headed by Mrs. Shipley, the Department Director and Sophomore Counselor. Mrs. Stone was the Junior Counselor, Mrs. Stone was the Junior Counselor; and Mr. Dearman helped the Seniors. All three Counselors were avail- able to assist students at the students' convenience. Not only did this depart- ment help students choose courses which would benefit them, but it also aided students is finding colleges as well as Vocational Schools and Technical Schools. The Guidance Department was one of the most active organizations on campus, but through all the paperwork, schedule changes, and personal conflicts, the Guidance Department managed to help students smoothly get through an- other year. The Library opened at 7:00 to 3:30 and during lunch. The library was equipped with a copier, cassette recorder, and A-V equipment to help students see their pro- spective career goals. The Choices Com- puter aided students in determining ca- reers best suited for their individual needs. Mrs. Lane, the head Librarian, helped students in finding any informa- tion and solving problems. Mrs. Pitts, a Librarian Aide, could be seen helping students checking in and out books. Mrs. Maudlin-Foresman, an Assistant Librarian Aide, helped students in checking out books as well as using the Choices Computer. The library was equipped for the complete convenience of the Students. Both the Guidance Office and the Li- brary's main function was to help make Choctawhatchee students academic pro- cess move along smoothly. — Jennifer Cummins 48 GUIDANCE 1.

Everyone learned valuable information in science and history which is a necessity regardless of one's future plans. Among the science classes, there were the standards of anatomy and botany, as well as he more challenging courses of Chemistry II and of Advanced Physics. These courses gave the college bound a little experience in specialized fields and an idea of what to expect at college. This year, as last year, science fair pro- jects were a major requirement for the students. These projects gave students a chance to do individual research and to conduct experiments on their own in any field which may have been of interest to them. Everyone worked diligently and discovered something new on his own. Any student who was greatly interested in science, and could make the grades, had a chance to participate in the Science Honor Club of Choctawhatchee. This club brought together those who enjoy science. The classes in social studies all provided insight and better understanding of many of the major issues going on in the world by reviewing problems and solu- tions of the past. American History ex- plained the high points of our heritage in depth and defined who was who in the making of our country. To teach the stu- dents how our country is managed there was American Government. C.P.E.S. showed the students the differences be- tween the United States and Russia. In- terest in this required course was height- ened with the irrational shooting down of the Korean jet liner by the Russians. This incident led to many questions con- cerning the uncertainties of our coun- tries relationship with Russia. Choctawhatchee has a great program in the fields of both science and social stud- ies. Through these courses Choctaw is preparing its students to solve complex- ities in our nations scientific and social structures. — Melinda Johnson SOCIAL STUDIES 51 i.

The English Department was trying to upgrade student writing skills to meet the government's raised Writing Stan- dards of Excellence. This program in- cluded one writing of some kind every week, from note-taking or writing a paragraph to writing an entire research paper, depending on the teacher and the level of the class. A literary club was started as an exten- tion of the English Department. The club, Wordsmiths, sponsored by Mr. Adams, Ms. Friese, and Ms. Powell, was started because it had come to the atten- tion of the English Department that many students had great ability in cre- ative writing but were not neccessarily superior students, grade-wise. One of the main purposes of the club was to get its members involved in writing contests, such as the OCTE poetry contest, FTCE and NTCE writing contests, FSU New Generations Writing Contest for Ju- niors, and Scholastic Magazine writing contests. In the Math Department this year, a Col- lege Algebra course, taught by Mr. Blan- chard, was added as a yearly course. Some other special interest math courses were Advanced Placement Calculus, taught by Ms. Simmons, and a Comput- er Math class. The Math Team and Mu Alpha Theta (Math Honor), both sponsored by Ms. Simmons, were active this year. The Math Team competed in many contests, including ones at Samford University in Birmingham, Andalusia, Enterprise Ju- nior College, and the University of South Alabama. They also worked on starting a county math contest. Mu Alpha Theta tutored students having problems with math, with quite a bit of response. They also gave the Florida Math League Ex- ams, a state-wide competition won by the highest accumulated score. — Vicki Sears MATH 53 It's Not All Greek To Us! Students enrolled in a foreign language class were given the opportunity to catch a glimpse of the cultures o these coun- tries, along with learning to speak the language. Although many colleges re- quired at least a small background in a foreign language, most students took the courses for their own personal benefit. Foreign language classes at Choctaw in- cluded Latin, Spanish, German and French. This year, focus on oral drill became more dominant. At the beginning of the school year, all the students were rather tentative when the time came to recite dialogues; however, after they settled down to work and became more involved in calss, oral recitation became a high- light of foreign language activities. Oth- er activities included tournaments, at- tending plays, and conferences. In these the students competed in dictation, poet- ry, communication and numerous other areas to test their comprehensive abili- ties. Spanish classes were taught by Mrs. Dowden, Mrs. Sills, and Mrs. McElvain up to level IV. During the year these classes attended the Spanish conference in Orlando during March. German classes, taught by Mrs. Sills up to level III, attended an awards banquet in Pen- sacola. Levels I through IV of French were taught by Mrs. Preble. The French classes were invited to attend the inter- national dinner during the winter, and they participated in the French Concours d'Alliance Francaise in Pensacola at the University of West Florida. Although a foreign language was not re- quired to graduate at Choctawhatchee, often these students were pleasingly sur- prised at the challenge and novelty of learning another language. Many choose to coninue their education in this subject throughout their years in high school and on into college. Whether studies are completed at Choctaw or carried on into college, knowledge of a foreign language is an asset to be proud of for the rest of anyone's life. — Enger Clements 54 FOREIGN LANGUAGES 1.

FOREIGN LANGUAGES 55 CHS: Lights Camera Action! The 1983-1984 school year had a number of new happenings at Choctaw. These were seen in the music, drama, and art departments. The Indians involved in these classes put forth long hard hours of work to keep Choctaw's well earned and true pride on top. The students involved in the music pro- gram had a very successful and exciting year. The students put in long and tire- some hours but it seemed to pay off when they looked back. Although the band had not seen any changes in the form of directors, they have had an excel- lent year. They have gone on many excit- ing and fascinating trips. After numer- ous and strenuous hours of work and practice they, received superior ratings. The art students demonstrated a strong show of artistic talent to our school this year. Their school spirit was shown through the display of various master- pieces into local fairs and art shows. The talented Indian artist brought Choctaw High School many honors and awards. 'All the World's a Stage, said Shake- speare, and all the men and women are merely players. Students performed their histrionics at Choctaw in many ca- pacities this year: the Thalians tread the boards into the hearts of the communi- ty in their various skits, plays, and per- formances; the speech team, with only five returning members, once again cap- tured top honors at forensics tourna- ments; the speech and drama classes learned that, It will be as you will it to be and they willed to communicate suc- cessfully. All these talents were polished under the skilled tutelage of speech coach Ms. Gamble and the Thalian co- sponsors Mrs. Ready and Ms. Gamble. The highly talented and energetic Indi- ans showed their endless and superior pride throughout the tremendous year we had in other ways than just the school oriented events. Many displayed their talents in areas that are beneficial to both the community and school. They did this by spreading their abilities out in the schools extra curricular activities at Choctaw High School. — Del Manley 56 ARTIST PERFORMERS I.

ARTIST PERFORMERS 57 Preparing For The Future At Choctaw, we take pride in what wo do, and as a result, the teachers take pride in us. As an example of our school's and faculty's belief in the student body, they purchased an IBM word processor to further our knowledge. Students were en- couraged to use the computers be- cause the teachers felt that such training would be useful in the fu- ture. The Business department be- lieved that all students should take typing to make their future work with computers much easier. Some of the benefits of the business courses were college preparation, vocational training and personal goals, such as finding a well-pay- ing job. There were many students who took business classes and benefitted greatly from them in many ways. These students went on to continue their work with computers and became successful. In the Home Economics depart- ment, students were busy with many activities related to consumer education as well as physical and emotional well-being. The Home Economics department obtained new microwaves for each kitchen to give students the opportunity to learn modern cooking methods. No matter how great or small, each stu- dent's contributions were appreci- ated. This was a fun filled and edu- cational year. The Home Economics department offered a variety of courses to choose from, such as clothing and textiles. Others included family economics, interior decorating, foods, and nutrition. The Business department offered a vast array of subjects to choose from. Among those were business math and busi- ness Communication. Some other courses available to students were typing, shorthand, record keeping, and accounting. — Melanie Harris 58 HOME ECONOMICS 1.

Three of these classes did not even take place in the school's classrooms. These classes were drivers education, which took place in the cafeteria and in cars on driving courses; physical education, which took place in the gymnasium and outside on the track and fields; and special educa- tion (divided into three different classes), which was taught in one of the outdoor trailer classrooms and regular class- rooms. t 0 THE 3 ED S'' Drivers education did more than teach students how to drive. The entire first six weeks was devoted to watching films, reading textbooks, and learning the laws about cars and driving. The second and third six weeks were spent learning how to drive from experience in the car. In addition to teaching the students how to drive, the drivers education class got the students ready for the Florida drivers li- cense test. Choctawhatchee High School offered a large variety in physical education classes ranging from body building to the aerobics dance class. In these classes, keeping physically fit and having good skill in sports was the goal. This was acquired by exercise and practice. The third of the 3 EDs is special educa- tion. Though drivers education and physical education taught more phys- ically oriented skills, the special educa- tion classes concentrated on science, mathematics, social studies, language arts, and home economics. Special educa- tion was mostly vocationally oriented, (preparing the students for Vo-tech), un- less of course the student wished to go to college. Special education was actually three different classes, LD (Learning Dis- abilities), EMR (Educationally Mentally Retarded), and EH (Emotionally Handi- capped). The students in the special edu- cation program were not taught as a class; instead each student was taught on an individualized basis according to each students own personal skill. — Jason Kennedy 1.

With only four cars and about thirty students, most of them must wait two or three days before they can get one chance to drive. 8. Students practice driving two out of three six weeks of the semester- long Drivers Education course. 9. Francisco Navarro drives through the school's driving course. THE 3 ED'S 61 1 1.

Drafting class at work; actually it is drafting class at play, but nobody needs to know that. S. Hum, What should I do next? A con- fused drafting student ponders on the situa- tion of his floor plans. 9. Coach Scott stands with hands on hips while he begins to specu- late on such abstract things as life, the uni- verse, and drafting. He also is looking on with a good deal of exasperation. 62 VO-TECH Drafters Draw On With Vo-Tech What? No shop classes this year! Many students stared in shock as they were told this. Well, isn't that the end of industrial arts? Although there were no shop classes this year, the industrial arts department greatly prospered. The department consisted of several drafting classes. The classes drew everything from simple floor plans to complex blueprints of houses, restaurants, and other buildings. Drafting is a difficult procedure which takes several long hours of work. The drafting students were on three different levels this year. These were Drafting I, Drafting II, and Drafting III. The Vo-tech program allowed stu- dents to go to an educational facili- ty, which under normal circum- stances would cost them money, without paying. It also provided a way for a student to leave campus and still get credit. Vo-tech had courses which taught everything from rebuilding auto- mobile engines to preparing meals. A student may go to Vo-tech as often as he or she wishes, but all credits are electives. The Vo-tech system has not been in use for a very long time, but it was a very good system and should be in use for a long time to come. It taught a student how to work on his own or to cooperate with his fellow students. The Vo-tech pro- gram was similar to the industrial arts department, for they both pre- pared students for the future. Even with the loss of the shop classes the industrial arts department is a very good program. Vo-tech is also an important program. Therefore, these two fine programs will be continued. —Joe Wojciech o wski INDUSTRIAL ARTS 63 64 TOMAHAWK '84 FACULTY TOMAHAWK '84 65 STEPHEN ADAMS: University of Southern Mississippi, B.S.; English.

PREBLE: Yes, I feel that a good many of our students care about them- selves and their futures. The majority of the students in my classes show concern, but they mainly concentrate on their immediate futures. They think mostly of college or the immediate years following graduation as the future; they don't think of what their lives will be like ten, twenty, or thirty years from now. On the whole, though, they do show great concern for their own progress and growth as indivi- duals. Mrs. Liliana Preble was the Choctaw Foreign Language department and was the sponsor of the French Honor club. FACULTY 67 TOMAHAWK: What is Choctaw Spirit? MR. VARNER: Choctaw Spirit is the great pride which the students, faculty, and community have in the school and those involved in Choctaw life. This pride is attributed to the success of all activities, such as sports, music, drama, and the tremendous participation of the students in Choctaw clubs. The pride in the school and the spirit of Choctaw offer motivation towards an academic excellence which has resulted in success in all fields of endeavor throughout the world. This success has been proven by our graduates. Mr. Don Varner was the director of the Choctawhatchee Style Marchers. 08 FACULTY FREDERICK A. PITTS: University of Florida, B.S.; Science. D.

TOMAHA WK: Do you feel that Choctaw students are well motivated in terms of their academics and extra-curricular activities? MRS. FRIESE: Yes. There is a real sense of caring in the school on the part of faculty involvement that most schools don't have. The large number of clubs at Choctaw is an example of that involvement. Teacher concern and participation as club sponsors helps motivate the students. Academic motivation is high because of the high level of academic quality at Choctaw and also because the majority of our students come from homes with educated parents that respect academics. This is a highly educated and caring community of parents. Academic competition is strong among the more highly motivated students in terms of them entering contests and applying for admission to the most selective universities in the country. I think the fact that we have so few real discipline problems is an example of both student motivation and concern and the involvement and caring of the Choctaw faculty and administration. Mrs. Randy Friese was chairman of the Choctaw English department and was the senior class moderator. She also sponsored Wordsmiths (a creative writing club) and the Choctaw chapter of the National Honor Society. 72 TOMAHAWK '84 Mr And The class of '84 chose Jim Denison and LaWanda Sampson as Mr. and Miss Sen- ior of Choctawhatchee High School for this year. Throughout the entire school year both of these outstanding twelfth graders displayed a great amount of the school pride and spirit that Choctaw is famous for. LaWanda was a varsity cheerleader and helped our Big Green Machine teams on to their well-de- served victories. She was also a member of the track team. Jim was a member of the Choctaw Inter- act Service Club and was also involved in FCA (The Fellowship of Christian Ath- letes). As a leader of the nationally known school spirit here at CHS, Jim Miss Senior lead the student body, along with the faculty, in cheers at most of our pep- rallies. Most of the time he could manage to get everyone, including the football team and even the sophomores, to stand up and join in. Among the cheers that Jim participated in were the Choctaw Indians chant and the GO, FIGHT, WIN cheer, both of which helped to fire up our team. On more than one occasion Jim turned out to be the recipient of the Most Spirited Senior award for all the spirit he showed which always succeed- ed, to the horror of many teachers, in getting everyone often more than a lit- tle bit rowdy. The Senior Class officers worked hard and did all they could to make this the MISS SENIOR Senior Class Officers 1. Lawanda watches a basketball game from the top of the bleachers. 2.

Jim leads a pep rally cheer. best and most meaningful, as well as the last, year at Choctaw for the Class of '84. All the activities these dedicated seniors were involved in were successful. It did rain the night of Homecoming but all our spirits rose as we watched the Indi- ans triumph. It was truely one of those Great Moments at CHS. Another ma- jor project was Miss. CHS. This pageant turned out to be a wonderful experience for all of those involved because of all the hard work and long hours the offi- cers put in. Some other functions of the seniors as a class which proved to be profitable were the senior shirts and the I love the Class of '84 buttons, as well as the Senior Breakfast. All of these ac- tivities were prosperous but the ultimate for all of the seniors was, of course, graduation. The Senior Class officers who helped in rounding out the Class of '84's last high school year were; Teri Eubanks, Presi- dent; Sandy Whatley, Vice President; Kim Carter, Secretary; Margaret Barnett, Treasurer; and Missy Beverly, Historian. Every one of these dedicated seniors was active in many extra-curricular events here at Choctaw. Teri, Kim, Margaret, and Missy were involved in the band. Teri and Kim were both in Leo. Margaret and Missy were both a part of Optimiss, while Sandy was a member of Keyettes. Melinda Johnson SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS 75 5 Senior Beauties Pictured on this page are: 1.

Here we have some lovely seniors impersonating juniors. 108 JUNIORS Headliners Of Junior Class The many activities sponsored by the Ju- nior Class this year were directed by dedicated officers to make this an out- standing year. Chosen as the Junior Class president was Kristi Matthews, with Dawn Foster as vice president, Greg Howell as the secretary, Veronica Smith as treasurer, and Jamie Thompson as historian. Sponsoring the officers was Ms. D'Avignon. The officers began the year by selling Kit-Kats and Reese's peanut butter cups to raise money for the materials for the Homecoming float. The sale lasted for five weeks, and the officers were pleased with the profits. Before the Christmas holidays began, the Junior Class sponsored a toy drive to collect toys for needy children. Due to the efforts put into this drive, the class collected over $250 worth of toys which were delivered to hopeful children. To begin the new year, the Junior Class officers once again sponsored the per- fect date computer matchup in Febru- ary. The sometimes surprising results were delivered to laughing and skeptical students three days before Valentine's Day. During March and April, Class of 1985 shirts and buttons were sold. Profits went towards the prom, held on May 19th. The officers chose Sweet Dreams as a theme song for the memorable even- ing. The prom was an exciting end to a successful year for the Junior Class. — Enger Clements Brenda Ard Mary Austin Suzanne Bahl Greg Bailey Jill Bailey David Baker Rill Banks JUNIORS 109 Phil Baratelli Don Barber Latonia Barnes Brooke Barron Clark Barrow Cedric Bates Gerald Batton Tracy Baumbach Lisa Beasley Donald Benjamin Rod Benton George Bethune Tony Betts Jackie Bietau Andy Bishop Jerry Bizzell Fred Block Kawana Bloxson Crystal Bolejack Alan Booker Mike Boretsky Geoff Borts Donna Bouchard Stacey Bouchard Katy Brannon Henry Brezniak Ross Bridwell Tina Brooks David Brown Kendra Brown Laurie Brown Missy Brown Jean Bryant Anna Bynum Heather Bryne Russell Byrne Darryl Bush Betty Calderone Mike Caluda Darin Carmicheal Kim Carr Robert Carter 110 JUNIORS Roger Carter Rhonda Carter Anita Cason Sandra Casper Judy Cayer Susan Chadwick Roxie Chambless Jamie Chapman Robert Chellette Judy Choplin Laura Churan Scott Clark Cathy Clark Enger Clements Debbie Cline Joy Cobb Cathy Collins Michele Conklin Darren Cook Christine Coon Leslie Cox Libbi Criswell Tanya Cross Rodney Crowell Shannon Culley Jennifer Cummins Paetai Curtis Paitoon Curtis Tony Diaz Kathy Dix Doug Debolt Kathy Dewrell Melissa Dominiak John Dowd Greg Downey Jeanette Drago Renee Eady Nancy Eagleson Walter Ebel Cynthia Erickson Naomi Etzwiler Janet Fagan JUNIORS 111 Anthony Faircloth James Fairhurst Ken Farrier Martin Farris Angela Faulk Karen Fisher Steve Flint I.

Their friendli- ness and dedication to their peers and the school were just a few of the charac- teristics that helped them achieve this honor. For Laura, this was her second year to be chosen a class favorite; she was elected Miss Sophomore last year. Laura was an active member of Keyettes and a student council representative. Among other things, Laura enjoyed going to the beach, sailing, and being with her many friends. She also enjoyed listening to the music of ZZ Top, The Police, and Van Halen. French was Laura's favorite sub- ject, as she enjoyed learning about the language and culture of a foreign coun- try. Laura planned to attend college after graduating from Choctaw. For the 1983 football season, Willie wore number forty-two and played wide-re- ceiver for the Indians. As a contributing member of the Octagon club, Willie also enjoyed playing on the Choctaw baseball team. As a junior, Willie preferred soul music, and liked especially the sounds of Midnight Star and Prince. Willie also planned to attend college after graduat- ing as a member of the class of '85. For Laura and Willie, their junior year was a memorable one. Through good times and bad, they continued to epito- mize the best qualities of the class of '85. — Addy Robinson Suzanne Flood Tim Flora Dawn Foster Kirk Franco Mark Fredrickson Susan Frey Jim Gamboa JUNIORS 113 Jada Gardner Tom Gibson Michelle Gilbert Dawn Gilkey Mike Gillaspy Fred Gilliam Tony Giordano Steve Giovanni Paul Godwith Kim Gonzalas Robin Gradle Nancy Granis Catherine Greene Jozef Gryzboski Troy Hafner Nicki Hager Dawn Hagen Doug Hale Billy Hall Dawn Hamilton Michelle Hartley Christine Hartranft Tomas Harty Diane Hawkins Ted Hayden Derek Hayes Larry Headrick Nancy Henener Janice Hennecke Kim Henne Kelly Henry Naoko Heller Torry Hellinan Chris Herzum Rod Hillard Jan Hill Randy Hillsman Susan Hodgson Carl Hohenstein Ray Honea Marc Hongye James Howard 114 JUNIORS Greg Howell Rhonda Huggins Michele Hughes Jay Humphries Alfie Hunter Angela Hutson Colleen Her George Inness Larry Jackson Steve Jacobs Terrance James Beth Johnston Cynthia Johnson Gino Johnson Shanon Johnson Tim Johnson Yolanda Johnson Eric Jones Linda Jones Skippy Jordon Debbie Kantner Nancy Kass Katy Kavanaugh John Keister Joe Kennedy Jennifer Kirby Sherry Kittle T.J.

Quite a few students found music to be a means of escape from their hectic days. Concerts were the highlight of the music scene. They provided students with the chance to see their favorite groups perform live. Some of these concerts included such groups as The Police, Robert Plant, ZZ Top, AC DC, Van Halen, Styx, Loverboy, and Def Leppard. Students traveled as far as Biolxi, Mississippi; Mobile, Alabama; or Tallahas- see, Florida to attend such concerts. Getting up enough money for a ticket, or, more im- portant, finding a ride there and back was often a problem. But these were not insur- mountable and those who went to the con- certs had an excellent time. When concerts weren't the talk of the school, new albums or videos on MTV were. Stu- dents were always ready to express their opinions of new songs, whether they be mel- low or hard rock. Some of the more mellow music came from groups like Journey and Genesis, while the hard rockers included such groups as Quiet Riot and Ozzy Os- bourne. Of course, different people liked dif- ferent groups, but on the whole, rock-n-roll continued to be everyone's favorite music here at Choctaw. — Susan Leone Marion Riley Kip Roberts Addy Robinson Barry Robinson James Robinson John Robinson Tina Rose JUNIORS 119 Dana Rohlman Teresa Rossi Sherri Rowe Chuck Runfola Betty Rush Sharon Russell Michelle Ryland Jeff Rynearson Kim Sabor Angela Santiago Rodrick Santos Jack Sarisun Chris Sawyer Bert Scott Cherie Scott Robin Scruggs Joanie Schoeppner Vicki Sears Carey Seinkbeil Chip Selby Miranda Semmes Sean Senko Bo Senterfitt Shawn Shahid Charlotte Sharpe Kacy Shell Donna Shelly Mark Show Tyra Silva Jan Simmons Jolinda Simmons Scott Simmons Scott Simpkins Kim Singleton Jackie Smith Kenneth Smith Laura Smith Lee Smith Terry Smith Veronica Smith Lisa Sprague Eddie Springle 120 JUNIORS Susan Stanford Bruce Stay Kris Steeg Denise Steidl Donald Steitz Jenny Stephens Dana Stevens Karl Story Kim Story Jeff Stovall David Strader David Stroup Toni Suhre John Sullivan Julie Sullivan Wade Sullivan Katheryn Tanner Kevin Tate Connie Taylor David Telford Chuck Thomas Jan Thompson Jet Thompson Sheryl Thompson Paul Tibbits Kim Timmons Kelly Tompkins Chip Totten Courtney Townsend Xuong Trieu Angela Trotter Mike Turner James Tyner Phillip Unitt Dwayne Vasiloff Paulette Velissaris Cathy Verini Paula Voyt Paul Wadkowski Mike Ward Willie Ward Kim Watson JUNIORS 121 Joey Wells Andretta White Danny Williams Jeff Williams Lesley Williams Mike Williams Sam Williams 1.

Students had many things to spend their money on this year. There were many candy sells this year, which took a large hunk out of a stu- dent's budget. Also, with the remaining prices of school lunches and the dues they had to pay for their clubs, the stu- dent spent even more of their money. Furthermore, club shirts and dates took out more of the budget. Also, with the changing fashions, the student had to keep in style and thus spent more of his money. to get some sort of job to help pay them. Allowance is no longer enough to live off of. Many students ended up working in restaurants or fast food places. Hours for these jobs often kept the student up late at night, thus causing more problems. Yet with all of these expenses, the stu- dent still managed to have a good time with what little money was left over after their major costs were covered. They didn't have much time for fun and frolic due to the many other things they had to do while spending their money, but when they spent it they spent it at a speed unmatched by any others.

They were present and working at the junior varsity games selling all kinds of re- freshments at the concession stand. Even though the Homecoming parade was rained out, the sophomores worked hard on their float and were very proud of it. The halls were adorned with many spirit signs from the class, letting everyone know that they were in full support of the football team and the coaches. Even in the beginning of the year, prepara- tions for the Senior Appreciation Day had begun. The 1983-84 Sophomore officers were Jeff Ebeoglu, President; Lynn Giles, Vice President; Gina Gentilozzi, Historian; Nancy Coffield, Secretary; Charles Starrett, Treasur- er, President Jeff Ebeoglu felt that the Sopho- more Class was exceptional and that all of the sophomores were proud to be a part of the Big Green Machine.' The jobs taken by the officers were not easy; they had many re- sponsibilities to add to their schoolwork. They were responsible for the planning of various activities for the Sophomore class. Along with the many tasks they did they made it possible for all of sophomores to have a great first year at Choctaw. — Melanie Harris 4 John Anderson Matthew Anderson Dennis Andre Scott Appleton Betty Arndt Trina Arnett Kyle Atkinson SOPHOMORES 131 Chuck Auschwitz Steve Babula Jerry Baily Joel Bailey Mike Baker Richard Baker Mark Balcanoff Tim Banks Kelly Banister Craig Barker David Barney Brooke Basset Jill Basset Bart Beasley Dawn Beck Ronald Beeman Tom Belden Paula Bell Angela Bennett Kari Bennich Billy Bethke Kathy Bielec Johnny Blackburn Melony Blackwell Denine Blado Rhett Blake Troy Blankenship Lisa Blockburger Lorna Blodgett Chris Blumenthal Brenda Boney Beth Boulet Tonya Boyne Tina Brenton Bill Brewer John Briscoe Tricia Brooks Mike Brown Richard Brown Sharon Brown Louise Buchanan James Buckhalter 132 SOPHOMORES Sharon Buckley Nancy Buhr Russ Bush Matt Butler Michelle Call Mike Calvert Sarah Campbell Jennifer Cannon Geraldine Carpinone Shay Carnes Stephine Carney Angie Carnley Adam Carr Allison Carroll Terry Carson Bruce Carter Robert Carter Scott Carter Rene Casadban Joanne Cave John Cayer Brian Childs Billy Childress Carolyn Church Allen Clark Dale Clayborne Robert Clayborne Chris Cobb Nancy Coffield Heidi Coil Mike Collins Maria Cooper David Coon Adam Coppolm Ophelia Coward Audrey Cowart Doug Cowley Kevin Cox Susan Cox Frank Crawford Heather Cruikshank Chris Crotzer SOPHOMORES 133 Lisa Dallas David Daughtry Kelvin Davenport Kim David Buffy Davis Laura Davis Scott Davis 1.

Choctawhatchee students will be able to look back and remember the great fun and enjoyment that the movies gave them. Although several good movies came out last year, the ever popular Rocky Horror Picture Show remained the favorite of most students. Large amounts of people could be seen stand- ing in long lines for the continuing saga of Luke Skywalker in The Return of the Jedi. The Michael Keaton fans really en- joyed his latest movie, Mr. Mom, the trials and tribulations of a house hus- band. Once again, women swooned and men were impressed by the infamous James Bond in Never Say Never Again. Even though there were amany great movies, there were some flops too. The Evil Dead was at the top of the list. The movies theaters played a large part in the actual enjoyment of a movie. The Cinco Cinema seemed to be one of the favorites, as well as the Santa Cinema. The movie fans rejoiced as the opening of a new theater, Sun Plaza Cinemas 4. Movies, good or bad, played a big part in the socialization and relaxing which stu- dents enjoyed during the year. — Jennifer Cummins iNeMa % w% EGLIN PARKWAY TERMS OF endearment DC CAB SILKW00D CHILL 1.

Choctawhatchee High School also had several computers, in- cluding the choices computer, and several IBM business computers given to us by the Seven-Up company for being the most sprit- ed school in the country for the 1982-83 year. Though computers were interesting, most students were more involved with video games. Arcade games have come a long way, from a silver ball bouncing off lighted posts and paddles to computerized laser graphics. When arcade games first came out, you paid a penny to play pinball or target shoot. Now the complicated and graphic video games cost a quarter or even fifty cents. The 80 s marked a new type of recreation using computers and video games. Lately, the local arcades have become very popular places to go during a vacation and after school. People were buying computers that played games, computers that did business work, and computers that did both. At first, com- puters were a luxury for wealthy people, vid- eo games a novelty for the same. In the 80's it seemed that a computer or a home video sys- tem was in almost every other home.

Starting out with a new coach and a new defensive and offensive formations, the team was bound to start off slowly. The first game of the season against Pine Forest proved that the new systems would take time to learn. The offensive only gained 149 yards; however, the defense only allowed 117 yards and recovered 4 fumbles. Hunter Harrison led the defense with 9 tackles and a fumble recovery, while Mike Schrider compiled 8 tackles on defense and went in as quarterback to complete 40% of his passes for 48 yards. The game was lost by a fumble in the endzone which Pine Forest recovered for a final score of 7-0. The offense began to get itself together in the game against Tate. Schrider completed 57% of his passes for 67 yards. Todd Gatlin amazed the fans with his running and catching ability, compiling a total of 95 yards. The defense held a good Tate team to a mere 228 yards in the 10-7 loss. The offense dominated in a 28-13 victory over Washington. Schrider showed his versatility again by running for 46 yards and copleting 33% of his passes for 72 yards. Todd Gatlin and Chris Kirby ran for 41 and 44 yards respectively, while Albert Ghant caught a 47 yard pass. On defense Lionel Grant ran back an interception for 42 yards and made 2 tackles. Hunter Harrison once again led the defense with 12 tackles. Matt DeFrank's kicking ability began to shine as he averaged 41.75 yards a punt. VARSITY FOOTBALL: First row.

Hunter Harrison and Carl Mack each recovered a fumble and led the team with 10 and 8 tackles respectively. Todd Gatlin returned an interception for 53 yards.

Bethune pulled in a 36 yard pass for a touchdown, while Gatlin scored the other touchdown. To end the scoring, DeFrank kicked 2 extra points and averaged 39.7 yards a punt.

FOOTBALL 157 Varsity Shows FWB Who's Boss 1 In a heart-breaking 20-17 triple overtime loss to Niceville, the defense once again proved to be the team's power, holding an explosive Niceville to a mere 153 yards. Jason Duff led the defense with 15 tackles, while Willie Bryant had both and interception and a fumble recovery. Hunter Harrison also pulled in an interception while Lionel Grant and Stewart Mosley both recovered fumbles. Willie Bryant also ran for 83 yards. In a defensive battle against the Mosley Dolphins, the offense pulled out the game. The Indian defense held Mosley to a mere 163 yards. Willie Bryant ran for 67 yards, while Albert Chant pulled down a 35 yard pass. During a homecoming game which was hampered by rain, the de- fense buckled for a game. Playing the number 2 team in Louisiana, they won 13-6. Both Gino Johnson and Willie Bryant ran for 52 yards to propel the offense while Hunter Harrison, Lionel Ghant, and Willie Bryant pulled down interceptions to make up for the earlier defensive mistakes. Brian Coffey also recovered a fumble while Hunter Harri- son led the team with 15 tackles. The defense made up for its bad game in a 14-0 victory over Ft. Walton. The defense held Ft. Walton to only 88 yards, 9 of which was passing. Once again Willie Bryant led the team in rushing with 43 yards. Brian Coffey pulled down an interception and Lionel Ghant and George Bethune each recovered fumbles.

FOOTBALL 159 Varsity Goes To Semifinals. 1 Then came the first of the play-off games. A hectic 7-6 victory over a very offense-minded Woodham. It was a defensive battle as only 1 pass was completed during the entire team. George Bethune picked up a punt which was partially blocked by Brian Coffey and rumbled in for a 14 yard return and a touchdown. DeFrank kicked what turned out to be the winning point with the point after. Bethune also saved the game with a defensive foul on what appeared to be a successful 47 yard field goal attempt in the final seconds of the game; however, the foul caused a rekick, which went wide to the left and thus won the game for the Indians. Then came a 28-7 loss to a quick Bucholz team; both offense and defense fell. The defense showed signs of its strength as Hunter Harrison pulled down an interception. The one Indian touchdown came from a 15 yard pass to Albert Ghant from Mike Schrider. DeFrank who averaged 40 yards for 8 punts kicked the extra point. The Varsity Football team had a lot of support and proved that it was a team to be reckoned with. With an overall 8-5 record the Indians won the District 1-AAAA title and went on to win the regional title too. The team played well with the new Coach, Bob Lyle, and proved that after a while anybody can learn new things. The players learned a new formation this year but they pulled together and came out on top. — Joe Wojciechowski 2 3 160 FOOTBALL 1.

FOOTBALL Junior Varsity Fights On Junior Varsity Football is a commonly missed event. Although the crowds were small, the excitement level was high. The team was in a rebuilding year though, and did not have a very good season. With a 1-6 record they were shunned as being a very bad joke. The average person does not realize the amount of work that goes into putting together a winning team in their first year together. It is nearly an impossible task. The reason for a Junior Varsity team is to prepare the players for the rough and tumble Varsity team. The crowds were much larger this year than they were last year. Yet, this was due to the teams record last year and the size of the crowd decreased throughout the season. The team played as if the stadium was full of cheering fans. They showed their style and grace in many excellent plays and defensive strategies. They proved that you do not have to have a winning record to have a good time and be a good team. Sure this team will not be well remembered, but they are players to be reckoned with in the future. They will triumph. The team showed several bright spots in the rather gloomy season, especially in their one victory. They pulled ahead 20-6 at the end of the first half. Unfortunately, due to lack of support they allowed a second touchdown and what appeared to be a great victory turned out to be a close call. In the final game of the season they held a tough team to zero points in the first half, but then were out-played by a small margin in the second half and lost 8-0. The Junior Varsity team should only have pride in itself for a job well done. Even with the losses they managed to carry themselves with great pride. Next year they will go to to prove that they were much better than they appeared to be in their sopho- more year. Junior Varsity Football is a necessary part of a schools' football program. Without the Junior Varsity team, sophomore players would never get any experience in Senior High Football. Without this exper- ience, they will never become the best they can be. They will only sit on the bench and vegatate, while the few elite players play all the time. They would not be able to become the future starters of the Varsity team. The Junior Varsity Football team will be great no matter how poor they play or how bad their record is at any one time. Junior Varsity must live. J.V.

They won, and with that win they began a terrific season. A team, such as this, with so much pride and spirit in their sport and the school which they represent was definitely on its way to the top. This year the team played 22 games. A game usually consists of two to three matches. This year the team played 31 matches, their record this year was 18 wins and 13 losses. In this year's district match the Lady Indians went up against and defeated the Moseley Dolphins of Panama City. In order to win the title of district champs, the Lady Indians had to combine their best abilities and win the best out of three matches. In the first match, the Lady Indians beat the Lady Dolphins with a score of 15-4. The second match secured them their long awaited victory. With a score of 15-8, they retained their title of district champs once again. Coach Melody Jackson, Coach Lee Jackson, and Coach John Kohut were with the team throughout the entire season, coaching and sup- porting them through the trials and tribulations associated with the sport. Later on into the season the team had the chance to go to the regional championships, held this year in Pensacola. There they placed first overall. Choctaw's volleyball team displayed its Indian pride and spirit, for which the school gained national recognition. — Dawn Foster VOLLEYBALL 165 CHS All The Way To State What could possibly motivate a person to wake up at five in the morning just to run? The answer was simple. To be the best takes dedication and the 1983-1984 boys cross country team had just that. Led by Mrs. Joy Aplin and Mr. Larry Bentley, the team showed they had what it took to take Choctaw to victory during the season. The successful tribe consisted of one senior, Robert McGavin, and includ- ed returning juniors and unprecedented sophomores. The juniors were Marc Alderman, Joe Altieri, Ricky McCormick, Kip Roberts, Scott Simmons, and Danny Riggs. The team's in-coming sophomores were Scott Carter Allen Clark, Dean Hartman, Mike Mullins, Stan Phillips, and Frank Walls. The runners journeyed to all parts of Florida to demonstrate the force of Choctaw's quick-footed spirit. They scalped their competitors and proved that the Indians were unmatched in the endurance of cross country running. As a reward for their winning season, a trip to Deland, Florida, to the state competition was awarded to the boys' cross country team. A fourteenth place victory out of 105 4A schools in the state of Florida showed the spirit of Choctaw. The top runners for the boys were Joe Altieri, Kip Roberts, Scott Simmons, Ricky McCormick, Dean Hart- man, Mike Mullins, and Danny Riggs. The most valuable runner for the boys was Kip Roberts. While others were cooling down, the juniors and sophomores were warming up for next year's races and competitions. They would endure the winning tradition at Choctaw and keep up the prestige in the custom of sports. To be able to prepare mentally and physically for each competition, their concentration had to be focused upon running and running only. With constant road work and training, the boys out-paced almost every competitor that crossed their path. The countless strides and cans of foot powder added up to a winning season for the Choctawhatchee Indians boys' cross country team. — Cory Langner V' 1.

Their determination and unsurpassed energy enabled them to outrun their competitors and break the tape of victory. With only two returning seniors, Carleane Mack and Lavada McLeod, the girls team also relied on the talents of able juniors and energetic sophomores. The juniors were Vicki Sears, and Debbie Williams. Sophomores Michele and Stephanie Linihan helped ignite the spark that sent Choctaw to the finish line. To show their spirit, they placed in various races, including the Crusader Invitational, F.S.U. Invitational, S.S. Dixon Invitational, a race sponsored by Barq's root beer, the Choctaw Invitational, and the Eagle Invitational. It is not easy being on the cross country team. Early-morning running an average distance of sixty-five miles a week, working on their speed, lifting weights, and running for distance added up to a workout that only someone loyal to running could endure. After a triumphant regular season, the girls ventured to Deland, Florida, for the state competition. This was the first time the girls had gone to state since 1976. The top runners for state were Michele Linihan, Dona Griffin, Carleane Mack, Lavada McLeod, and Steph- anie Linihan. K.K. O'Brien ran in the regional race for Choctaw in place of an injured runner. The most valuable runner for the girls team was Michele Linihan. The most valuable senior award went to Charleane Mack. Out of 105 4A schools, the girls' team placed 11th overall. Since the team consisted of mainly juniors and sophomores, this promise of returning talent would continue Choctaw's supremecy in cross country running. The new, spirited sophomores would make Choctaw proud in the year to come with more mature runners and distancers. — Cory Langner GIRLS CROSS COUNTRY 169 SWIMMING DIVING TEAM: Front Row: Sabina Wu, Kimm Mclnnis, Patti W'ilson, Jackie Bietau.

Practice makes perfect.'' The members of the Choctaw Swimming and Diving team all knew this saying well. With all the late afternoon practices and the dreary cold mornings getting up at five a.m., know- ing that they had to be at the pool by six, they all showed up ready to work. In the long run, they knew all their hard work would pay off. Spirit is one thing the swimming and diving team will never lose. With the help of an enthusiastic crowd cheering them on, the swim- ming and diving strove to do their best. We had a very strong, hard working girls team this season. They include: Courtney Roberts, Captain; Susan Rouse; Cindy Buleson; Carol Welch; Nikki Landingham; Marion Riley; Jamie Thompson; Jackie Bietau; Danna Pore; Joy Tashlik; Betty Calderon; Samantha Spencer; Kelly McSheehy; and Melissa Dominiak. Our guy's team was small in number but very big in spirit and determination. The team included; Ben Calderon, Captain; Jon Pres- ton; Marty Cuvillion; Jon Unit; David Unit; Phillip Unit; and Kyle Atkinson. Even though they were few, they did a great job all year long. To have been on the Choctaw Diving team you must have been hard working, dependable, and very determined. That could explain why the team is so small. There are few people who are willing to take the time or make the effort to practice and do a good job. We only had three members on the, but they all did their best. The members were: Ann Love, Serra Rahe, and Dennis Smith.

The 1983-1984 Choctawhatchee High School Soccer Team played well this year and were able to pull out an 8-6 record for the season. The team had an inner spirit that no other team could match. They played with a will and determination that was unconquerable by defeat. They had many new additions to the team, not only did they get a new coach, but they also had many new team members. This, however did not dampen their determination to win. They fought hard against every team but the two teams that they worked on the hardest were Ft. Walton and Niceville. These were the rivals that this year's Soccer team wanted to leave on the field. Although the rivals were strong on the field, you could always find one or two of the players from each team out on Friday or Saturday night together. After every game there would be congratulations to the other team, win or lose. Through the support and help of the numerous fans, parents, and friends, the team had a big boost in spirit. The parents were the most avid fans. At every game, despite the cold, the rain, or both, you could find that the stands held most all of the player's parents. It wasn't only parents that were faithful to the game, though, there were many students and teachers that never missed a game. They were well repaid, as the CHS Soccer Team made the games more than worth sitting through. — Del Manley 172 SOCCER I 1. While the ball's in the air everyone runs to retrieve it for their team. 2.

SOCCER 173 Sinking The Winning Point The basketball team's season of 83-84 started off with a bit of red tape. With two of the starters being football players, it seemed basketball season for the Indians was going to start off a little slow. However, with all this trouble, the team won the Playground Area Shootout ' which was held at Choctawhat- chee. The team had an up and down season with several heart- stopping losses. Some of the more remembered games were as follows: Crestview on January 10, Ft. Walton on January 13, Tate on January 19, and to Washington on January 28. Throughout the season there were six more losses. Some of the more impressive victories over Indian opponents were as follows: a 46-44 victory over Woodham, with Willie Bryant sinking the winning basket with only 13 seconds left on the clock; against Pensacola High the team made 8 out of 11 freethrows to help make the final score 74-69 in overtime; Willie Bryant and George Bethune combined for 37 points to lead the Big Green to a victory over Tate; then the team played Mobile's Vigor Tigers, they won with a 62-60 score. Willie Williams scored 17 points when they played Mosley for a 61- 53 triumph over the Dolphins. There were six more winning victories for CHS. When CHS played FWB for the 2nd time on February 3, 1984, the Indians came through with another outstanding victory. The score was close throughout the game, but in the final seconds a technical was called on FWB. Willie Bryant stepped up to the foul line and shot the two foul shots needed to bring an upset of 55-53 over the Vikings. The Indians finished the season at 14-12. To sum it up, it was a great season, said coach Mickey Englett. — Marcie Van Vleck — 174 VARSITY BASKETBALL Boys Varsity Basketball: first row stats: Allyson Muldoon, Naomi Etzwiler, Michelle Conklin, Rose Maske.

Several factors contributed to the team's success this past year. Hard work and dedication were on the top of this list. Before the school year even began, the team started practicing and continued all summer long. During these practices they endured several hours of strenuous drills and learned new techniques to better their skills. These drills stressed such things as defensive plays, rebounding, and out- side shooting. They also attended a basketball camp in Au- burn, Alabama. The lady Indians started out their season well. The starting sophomores played with the experience of the older players and sometimes even better. They showed excellent skill in ball control and shooting. Lisa Kuhns returned this year as a junior and led the team in scoring. All-round Lisa is one of the most outstanding players in the county. Jackie Bietau, also a junior, had her points added to the scoreboard too. With these caliber of players, Choctaw will have a lot to look forward to next year from the Girls Basketball team. Dona Griffin, Wendy Gatlin, Sherry Strichen, Noelle O'Shea and Ashley Johnson, all starting sophomores, should be back next year with even better techniques and skills than this past year. The team had true Choctaw spirit and the strive to win. They owe a lot to Coach High who pushed them hard during the past season to show their outstanding skills and true pride of being a Choctaw Indian. — Susan Leone GIRLS BASKETBALL 179 w nuuni X V W itLCO 2.

J.V. B-ball Leads The Way 5 Junior varsity basketball was a commonly missed event. Although the crowds were small, the excitement level was high. The team exper- ienced an up-and-down year with several close ones in between. Sometimes regarded as merely a pre-game show for the varsity squads, the junior varsity team went on to prove that a junior varsity team did provide great excitement. The average person did not realize the amount of work that went into assembling a winning team in their first year together. It was nearly an impossible task. The reason for a junior varsity team was to prepare the players for the rough and tumble varsity team. The crowds were larger than last year's, but this was due to the team's record last year. The crowds became smaller and smaller as the season wore on. The team played as if the stands were full of cheering fans. They showed style and grace in their offensive and defensive strate- gies. They proved that you did not have to have a high percentage record to be a good team and have a good time. Surely this team was not remembered, but they are players who will have been reckoned with in the future. They will have triumphed! The junior varsity basketball team showed several bright spots in the short season they played. They provided warm-up for most of the varsity games. However, in some cases the junior varsity games proved to be more exciting than the varsity, but hardly anybody noticed this. Junior Varsity basketball was a necessary part of a schools' basketball program. Without the junior varsity team, sophomore players did not get any experience in senior high basketball. Without their exper- ience, they would have never become the best they could be. They would have only sat on the bench and vegatated while a few elite players played all of the time. They would not be able to become the future starters of the varsity team. Joe Wojciechowski J.V. BASKETBALL 181 1. Charles Bertubin struggles to make his way out of a hold. 2.

WRESTLING 183 6 Wrestling on the high school level is definatlly not a spectator sport. There is no screaming or yelling heard and seen on the television version of professional wrestling. What is seen and heard is hard fought battles with various moves and countermoves all leading to a rather dull time for the average spectator, but wrestling has its own excitement, too. Matches always have a winner and a loser. Close matches may be decided by judges or there may be a pinfall. The third way a matcn is decided is by Forfeit. The Choctawhatchee High School wrestling team fought to new heights this year, with several members going to state semi-finals and one, Charles Bertubin, going to state. Tne team record was not very good at 2-8, but many loses were very close calls. The two wins came against Wakulla and Marianna at a dual meet. The team had several outstanding wrestlers. Some of the better wres- tlers that were on the team are as follows: senior, Scott Griffin; senior Charles Bertubin; senior, Darrell Weeks, who was expected to got all the way; senior, Jim Allison; and senior, Mark Lynch. Two promising sophomores are coming up through the ranks also. These two are brothers, Scott and his brother Bruce Carter. The season went well. Coach Arther did a superior job in training his wrestling machines' to have nerves of steel, excellent reflexes, and made them capable of leaping tall buildings in a single bound. The wrestlers showed great sportsmanship in their triumphs, victo- ries and any loses that came inbetween. All in all the wrestlers fought hard and strong and they knew deep down inside that they were winners. — Joe VVojci ech owski INDIANETTES: First Row: Ashley Weldy, Paige Roper, Deanna Weber.

They are a fantastic group of dancers. They can be seen at pep rallies, pre-football game shows, and various other events in- volving school sports. They perform many dances that help to boost the spirit of the students. Besides boosting spirit, they also prove that Choctawhatchee has the best group of dancers around. To prove this, the Indianettes have been awarded many tro- phies and much recognition over the years. They won the Sweepstakes Trophy at State Competition in 1983 for the sev- enth year in a row. At camp in the University of West Florida, they won the Sweepstakes Trophy and the Home Routine Award. Also, Paige Roper won the Miss Superstar Drill Team Award, and Ashley Weldy won the Miss Drill Down Award. The girls were required to try out each time they performed. The tryouts were extremely strict and very rarely did every girl on the drill team participate in a show. They were graded on sharpness, appearance, memory, and overall posture. As you can see, this was not an easy A class. This year, the Indianettes danced routines to songs such as Shopping: A-Z, Girls on Film, and Situations. They were entertaining shows, and the students seemed to enjoy them very much. They will be going to State Championships in March of 1984. Hopefully they will place very highly in the scoring depart- ment. We would like to take this chance to say, Thank you, for all of your hard work and for all of the dedication put into the drill team. You have the pride it takes to make Choctaw's drill team so great! — Suzy Solomon INDIANETTES 185 Leaders Of Spirit At CHS The Varsity Cheerleading Squad which led Choctaw to being the nation's Most Spirited High School” during the 1982-1983 school year, continued to do so throughout the 1983-1984 school year. Lead- ing the student body through cheers and chants at every pep rally and sporting event took a lot of hard work and time for these eighteen talented girls. During the summer you could find the girls working hard, learning new routines and cheers for clinic and the upcoming school year. They attended Eastern Cheerleading Association's camp in Orlando, Florida. Here they were awarded trophies for their presentations which consisted of their execution of a cheer, projection, spirit, and stunts. The clinic was to help the girls develop cheerleading abilities, strengthen each one's character, improve leadership qualities, and encourage spiritual growth. The judges assessed the squad as having AWESOME PERFORMANCES.” At the end of camp, the squad was invited to attend Nationals in the spring of 1984, which will be held in 1 Virginia. Miss Carla Godwin, captain of the squad, was selected Most Out- standing Cheerleading” from among all those attending the clinic. With this award, she received a trophy and an invitation to become an Eastern Cheerleading Instructor during the summer clinic in 1984. The Varsity Squad has worked hard throughout the past year showing the nation what spirit is all about. With plenty of enthusiasm and support for all activities at Choctawhatchee, the Varsity Squad mem- bers definitely knew how to be BIG GREEN INDIANS.” — Marcie Van VIeck 3 186 VARSITY CHEERLEADERS Varsity Cheerleading Squad: First row: Carla Godwin, captain; Noreen Clancy, co-cap- tain.

Back Lending A Hand In Spirit For another year the Auxilary Unit has helped build up the spirit of Choctawhatchee students. With their outstanding strength and willingness, they helped the Varsity Cheerleaders perform an excellent three minute routine during camp. They attended clinic with the Varsity and Junior Varsity cheerlead- ing squads prior to the opening of the fall semester of school. Along with both squads, the guys helped to bring home Spirit sticks and approximately seventy blue ribbons while in Orlan- do. The ribbons were won for their outstanding performances in each of the following areas: the execution of a cheer, the projection of it, the spirit of each individual, and, last but not least, stunts. While attending Eastern Cheerleading Associ- ation's camp, they were not only expected to have excellent cheerleading ability and talent, but also to be able to accom- plish their purpose of leading the spectators in support of the many athletic events throughout the year. These clinics are intended to develop cheerleading skills, strengthen character, improve leadership abilities, and encourage spiritual growth. Throughout the 1983-1984 school year, you could find the squad cheering on football, basketball, soccer, volleyball, and wrestling teams to outstanding victories over their opposing teams. During football season, the guys were in charge of the runth- rough for each game. The drawing talents of Richard Fendrick and the painting talents of all the others always turned out a terrific looking runthrough. The male cheerleaders are a new concept in many ways, how- ever Choctaw has had them for several years and their perfor- mances have been excellent. They have shown that they are here to stay and stay they will. They have lifted spirit to a level far beyond any other. — Marcie Van Vleck GUY CHEERLEADERS 189 J.V. Squad Declared Clinic Champs Coming from Meigs and Pryor was the 1983-1984 Junior Var- sity Cheerleading Squad. These talented girls worked hard during clinic in May of 1983 to become J.V. Cheerleaders. Besides leading the Sophomore class in spirit enthusiasm, and support for all activities at Choctaw, they helped show the other students at school that they too were proud to be part of the Big Green Indian Tradition. Eastern Cheerleading Association's camp held at the Universi- ty of Central Florida, helped the squad learn new jumps, mounts, cheers and pom-pom routines for the upcoming school year. The squad had a little showing off to do in each of their divisions and were declared CLINIC CHAMPIONS at the end of the week long clinic. They started their first even- ing's competition with their three minute routine which exhib- ited all phases of cheerleading excellence. The J.V. joined with 1 the Varsity squad members in the skit competition, which was a refreshing and rather needed break from regular competition. A clinic day began at 7:00 A.M. and lasted until 10:00 P.M. with hardly any breaks. The J.V. shared in the winning of seventy blue ribbons with the other squads. They were also invited to attend National's with the Varsity in the spring of 1984. The eleven girls who together make up the Junior Varsity Squad may be new at the 7-UP Spirit Contest, but one thing is for sure; they worked long hard hours to be the Most Spirit- ed in the nation. — Marcie Van Vleck 190 J.V.

Cat. Reginald (or Reggy, as his friends called him) was noteworthy among his peers for his nu- merous victories in combat, as well as his ability to mimic the great jazz singers of his day and age. That cat could sing scat! Sometimes, in the midst of a particularly vicious encounter, he would unload upon his opponents a measure of Billy Holiday, or several bars of Ella Fitzger- ald. Reggie was very fond of Gershwin. All of this went on in a less-than-pecu- liar, pretty-much day-to-day fashion un- til one day Reggie fell in love. He mar- ried, bought a Toyota, sired a litter of lovely kittens, moved to a neighborhood known as Brook-something-or-other, and eventually grew sedentary and died.

It was the performance at the New Orleans' Saints vs. the Chicago Bears football game in the Superdome in New Orleans. As tradition goes, the Style Marchers spelled out Saints in script for a cheering crowd. All the band members had a wonderful time and the sophomores got their first taste of what it is like to be a part to the Choctawhat- chee Style Marchers and to be known as the ambassadors of good will. The most anticipated trip came around shortly after Christmas, and continued over New Year's. What is a better way to start off 1984 than performing at the Cotton Bowl? Everyone came home ex- hausted and days behind in school work, but none would have missed it.

This is quite an honor considering that only 10% of 286 ROTC units throughout the coun- try and overseas are so selected. The Color Guard, Honor Guard, and Drill Team were quiet active in school and community projects. They partici- pated in such activities as: school foot- ball games, basketball games. Open House, and career orientation programs. They also participated in local parades and assisted the Disabled American Vet- erans and other local organizations in their patriotic projects. All of the special units did a superior job of representing their school, and are to be congratulated. On the social scene, the corps held two picnics, a military ball a Christmas par- ty, a senior roast, and a staff canoe trip. All had a good time. One of the exciting aspects of the ROTC program was the opportunity for excit- ing field trips. Some of these trips in- cluded a C-130 flight, a helicopter flight, a trip to Huntsville, and a tour of Eglin. This past year, the corps acquired two new instructors; Lt. Colonel Dale Willet and C MSgt Joe Fernandez. Both of these gentlement were a welcome addi- tion to ROTC. — Joe Wojciechowski ROTC 205 N 8 XnXnXnXaXaXaXnXDXDXDXnX°X°XDXoXnX°X°XnXoXQXTO The DCT program at Choctawhatchee was an elective designed for the students to earn a certain number of credits de- pending upon the number of hours they worked. The length of the program may vary from 540 hours to 1440 hours based on aptitude, prior skill attainment, or changes and variations in employment requirements. The program was de- signed to prepare the students for em- ployment in an occupation by using the coopertive method of classroom related instruction and on-the-job instruction. The students were able to attend the job of their choice The on-the-job training helped to prepare the students for future job positions for the kind of work they like to do. The students learned how to handle money proficiently, not just learning business and economic skills. This program helped to provide money for college and training in the world of business. DCT stands for diversified cooperative training in the cooperative education program. The students were trained for practically any job of their choice accord- ing to their abilities. It enabled the stu- dent to evaluate his interests aptitudes, and abilities. It enabled the employer to select and train future full-time employ- ees. This year Choctaw had many stu- dents who were part of this very produc- tive program who wished to attend school while earning money to attain business skills and maybe money for college. — Lesley Williams 206 DCT M ft ft D M ft ft ft □ M □ M ft ft 8 N ft ft □ N □ M □ N □ N □ N □ N ft ft 8 M ft °x°x°s DCT DCT 207 Interclub Council 1.

ICC supplied the clubs with activities and projects to accom- plish for both the school and communi- ty- One of ICC's fall projects was Home- coming. The festivities might have been dampened by the rain, but the spirit shone with that special Great Moment. The umbrellas added an interesting ef- fect to the beautiful attire worn by the attendants and their escorts. Homecom- ing has always been a hectic time, and this year was no exception. ICC worked on many ways to promote school spirit. One of its most exciting weeks was that which preceeded the Fort Walton game. The Interclub Council also promoted spirit by decorating the school for Christmas. Each club took a hall or a window and dressed it with Christmas cheer. ICC also promoted the Nepal project. Choctaw donated money to the Peace Corps in order to help build a school in Rakhu, Nepal. Several of the Choctaw clubs donated money to this worthy pro- ject. The Interclub Council played a major role in every club activity. Each club pro- ject had to be approved by ICC. Through the work of ICC, club activities were bet- ter organized and the clubs could work more productively. — Andy Robinson ICC 209 This year's student council lived up to and exceeded standards set by previous groups. Some reorganizing and some new ideas were put into effect starting with the gathering of old and new class officers to help the new officers begin their terms in office on the right foot. Next came the Homecoming Dance, which was held at the Holiday Inn in Destin, and although the drive to Destin was thought to be too long, it was defi- nitely worth it. The Blood Drive was held in early December and helped one Red Cross collect 68 pints of much need- ed blood. The Talent Show, which was traditionally held in February, was moved to April and a huge success. The student council officers had the tra- ditional Choctawhatchee spirit and en- thusiasm in governing the school. Presi- dent Jan Buhr was in charge of making sure the government of CHS ran smoothly while Vice-president Marion Riley had the chore of keeping all re- cords. Betty Calderone, and treasurer Mark Show, both made sure student council's finances and correspondence were under control. Historian Sarah Kid- well was in charge of recording student council's activities in photographs. With help of dedicated members, student council helped make this a most memo- rable year for all of the students at Choc- taw this 1983-84 school year. — Lesley Williams 210 STUDENT COUNCIL °x°x°x°x° Students In Charge 1.

It was sponsored by Mrs. Friese and un- der the leadership of president Mamie Johnson. Theother officers were vice- president Susan Vajs, secretary Valeska Isenhour, treasurer Missy Beverly, and historian Sabina Wu. Among National Honor's various accomplishments was a tutoring program that it sponsored as a service to the school. In order to raise money for the annual senior scholarship, NHS members sold candy. The Mem- bers also hosted a party for alumni mem- bers at Marnie Johnson's house. There were several requirements for ad- mission to National Honor. The first was scholarship. A junior applicant had to maintain a 3.7 average, and a senior applicant a 3.5. Another criterion that must have been met was service. Leader- ship ability and good character were oth- er requirements. National Honor mem- bers were not only outstanding students, they were also excelling and caring indi- viduals. If a student met all of these re- quirements and had the approval of his teachers and the faculty committee, he could be initiated into the National Hon- or Society. The initiation into National Honor was a very solemn and traditional ceremony. This society was proud of its members and their various accomplishments. Though not the most active club at Choctaw, NHS membership was some- thing of which a student of any school could be proud. — Addy Robinson 1.

Some members attended Le Concours de francais de Pensacola. This was a compe- tition for French students to test their abilities of the language in both written and oral categories. During the school year the organization sponsored the International Banquet which was held in February. Members of French Honor also promoted school spir- it this past year by making signs and buttons. This spirit was enough to have 3 them selected as one of the most spirited honor clubs during football season. They also sold candy as a fund raiser. This past year French Honor instituted something new, a probationary member- ship for first year students. — Susan Leone 1.

German Honor par- ticipated in the International Dinner and did the Submarine skit for entertain- ment. Some German Honor members attained near-fame at Choctaw, such as the school-reknown Mad Prophet, who en- tertained all with his words of wit and wisdom. Micheal Anguiano was German Honor's candidate for Mr. Mock. Chrissy Abbott was candidate for Miss CHS. German Honor had two exchange students this year. Initiation for German Honor this year was to dress like a duck. This was in honor of Puck the duck, the club mascot and consisted of wearing a bill, a noose, a sling, a hat or hair net, face paint, green, brown, or yellow clothes, yellow socks, and a sign that said, I love German Honor! The initiates had to do the duck walk in the hall, sing German songs to Mr. Bounds, and Ms. McEl- vain's Spanish 2 class, push pencils with their noses, and eat lunch with no hands.

The organization received its charter club from the Opti- mist Club of Fort Walton Beach. Octagon had a productive year with its officers Jason Duff, president; Shawn Murphy, vice-president; Ken Machuta, secretary; and Clark Barrow, treasurer at its helm. The club participated in the Big Brother program as its community pro- ject. Included in its many school activi- ties were stadium clean-ups, float work- shops, and spirit workshops with its sis- ter club, Optimiss. There were many brother-sister get-togethers such as the Halloween party, Christmas party, Val- entines party, and the end-of-the-year banquet. All in all Octagon had quite a busy year.

As a major community project, the Wheelettes worked with the Muscular Distrophy Association in the Jerry Lewis Telethon. Their many other projects in the community consisted of giving donations and helping with fun- draisers for various groups. In the sum- mer the club helps with groups such as Meals-on-Wheels. Their many school activities include selling balloons at all home football games, helping to promote school spirit, and holding fund raisers. Their major school project was their annual Mr. Mock beauty-spoof contest, which was held on Saturday, February 18, 1984, with its main theme being that of the movie Risky Business. To choose new members, each school year the Wheelettes hold a Fall tea at the first of the school year, and a Spring tea at the end of the year. Each new member is initiated into the club by dressing up as a clown on a designated day during Homecoming week. They are also kid- napped and taken to a Kidnapping party. Wheelettes do many things with their brother club such as having Halloween and Christmas parties, constructing their Homecoming float, and also in the sharing of brothers and sisters. As a whole the Wheelette Service Club along with Interact have been a great asset to the Ft. Walton Beach community and to everyone at Choctawhatchee. — Marcie Van Vleck N WHEELETTES 241 M X°X°X°X°X°X°X°X °X oX nX aX aX nX aX dX oX dX pX nXpX pX n3 The Interact Service Club here at Chocta- whatchee was chartered by the Rotary Club of Fort Walton Beach. Interact helps with many community and school projects. The club had helped the Cancer Society, and carved a new totem pole to replace the one which was stolen in the stadium. At many of the pep rallies, the club was chosen the Most Spirited Guys' Service Club. To help boost school spirit, sign paintings were held each week with their sister club, Wheelettes. The two clubs combined their many talents at Home- coming when they held many work- shops after school and on the weekends to build their float. This year their float took first place all around at Homecom- ing '83. Interact had many canoe trips and other activities with Wheelettes, such as broth- er-sister Halloween and Christmas par- ties. The Presidency was shared by George Hendricks for the first semester, and Da- vid Butler for the second. Sean Bloods- worth watched over the club's treasury, while Pete Norden was Vice-President, Chris Weber as Secretary, and Scott Ky- zar was the club's District Representa- tive. Interact was sponsored by Mr. Shef- field, who helped them with another out- standing year at Choctaw. Interact helped show the people of Ft. Walton Beach what CHS is all about.

They had a lot of help from Key Club, and the two clubs working together made it a great year. They did many pro- jects for both the school and the commu- nity. The first service project of the year was the donation of Puppy Chow to the Hu- mane Society to help feed the animals residing there. In November, the Keyettes sponsored a Rock-A-Thon in the Santa Rosa Mall. They brought rock- ing chairs out into the middle of the mall and rocked for twelve hours, with spon- sors paying for each hour completed. The funds raised from this were donated to the American Cancer Society. Along with these service projects were also the donations of razors for the Alcohol Cen- ter, the car-parking at the Billy Bowlegs Holly Ball, a wheelchair race against the Key Club and Keyettes of Ft. Walton High School, and the sending of Valen- tine's cards to our soldiers in Lebanon. The Keyettes were also very helpful with school projects. They helped set up for Career Night, handed out balloons for the balloon release during the Home- coming game, made goodies for the teachers' lounges, held many sign-paint- ings, decorated many halls, and seated people at the New Christy Minstrel's Show, which was held in Choctaw's auditorium in December. The Raggedy Ann's have had a very busy year. Between all of their helpful projects, they managed to have a few get- together's with Key Club. The clubs went on a canoe trip, had a cookout on the beach, a Halloween costume party, and a semi-formal Christmas party. All in all, it was a pretty exciting year! — Suzy Solomon KEYETTES 245 ___________________a________________________, X°X°XaX°X°XaX°XaXnXnXDXpX°XaX°X°X°X°X°X°XgXn Key Club was very busy this past year. The members worked dilligently at sign- paintings every week during the football season to support Choctaw's team. As a reward for their hard work and dedica- tion, they won seven spirit awards. The club has been active in Community pro- jects and has worked closely with their sister club, the Keyettes. An example of their community efforts was the work with their sponsor, the Fort Walton Beach Kiwanis Club. They helped with the “Small Fry Fishing Ro- deo, in which they went fishing with the children the Kiwanis Club had helped during cases of extreme need. They also worked with the Keyettes in a wheelchair race. In this race, the Fort Walton and Choctaw High School's Key and Keyette Clubs raced in wheelchairs to raise money for help with the equip- ment needed in the Special Olympics. The guys also parked cars and helped with small jobs at the Billy Bowlegs Hol- ly Ball. Key Club and Keyettes also worked hard on the Homecoming float. They had everything planned out so that when the time came to build the float, they were prepared! The theme was, “Graduation: The Key To Life . After all of the work put into this project, it rained on Home- coming night. Key Club's float was ruined. Despite the extreme disappoint- ment which followed, the club, with their infinitely optimistic attitude, decid- ed to look upon it as a learning exper- ience, and adopted the saying, “Well, there's always next year!!!

Old members made initiates give them candy or sing and dance in the halls. Entre Nous had many fund-raising pro- jects this year, the biggest, of course, be- ing Little Miss Playground contest. That was a beauty pageant among local four and seven year olds. They also made and sold felt pumpkin-grams for Halloween and felt heart-grams for Valentine's Day. Entre Nous also put on many car washes in Fort Walton. These were not only a time for some wet and wild fun, but also made lots of money for the club. For community projects, members vis- ited Westwood Retirement Center and gave goodies to elderly people there. Dog and cat food was donated to the local Humane Shelter and magazines were donated to local hospitals for their lob- bies and waiting rooms. During football season, Entre Nous let their spirit show by painting spirit signs and making spirit sheets and buttons for the players. They also showed their appreciation for CHS faculty by sponsoring Teacher Ap- preciation Days, on which they made goodies and brought candy for the teach- ers' lounges. — Vicki Sears ENTRE NOUS 249 £°X°X °x°x°x°x°x°x°x°x°x°x°x°x°x°x°x°x°x°x°x°x Anchor Club was an organization which was sponsored by the area Pilot Club. The Pilot Club was under the supervi- sion and authority of Pilot International. The members of Choctaw's Anchor Club provided many services to the school and community while they developed their initiative and leadership abilities. Some of Anchor Club's activities were attending the annual Pilot Club tea, working at the Cancer Cablethon, selling candy, and participating in other fund- raising activities. Anchor members also hosted the football banquet and helped sophomores and new students become acquainted with Indian Grounds during orientation. The 1983-84 Anchor officers were: Ruth Storm, president; Brian Pennington, vice-president; Paitoon Curtis, treasurer; Paetai Curtis, secretary. Joyce Patton was Anchor's junior director and Janet Pros- cia was the club's senior director. Anchor's main goal was to promote Choctaw spirit. The members participat- ed in sign paintings, decorated school windows, made goodies for the faculty and clubs, and made spirit buttons. An- chor members also spent many hours working on the club Homecoming float. During Homecoming week Anchor ini- tiates dressed up as bunny rabbits to show their club spirit. To finish the year.

This has all been very strange. I mean. I'm still looking for those murky shots of something which someone mis- placed somewhere on my desk sometime in the early autumn. I suspect that when I locate them, they will be keeping com- pany with the missing invoice from the courier, the nearly unintelligible (and right now, completely invisible) copy for swimming, and my even-tempered dis- position, which, it is rumored, is touring Tucson with Sonny Bono and the Mondo-Tones. Across the street from this bizarre mias- ma, however, are the many successes of this book, all directly attributable to edi- tor Michelle Harris, Mrs. Janeane Lane, and a dedicated coterie of hard-working students. That Michele managed to di- rect the production of this book despite my clumsy ignorance ( Oh. So that's what a photograph looks like. Neat! ) is nothing short of incredible. That she was able to do so while keeping up with her studies, our deadlines, and my keys, is nothing short of miraculous; but, as I was saying, this has all been very strange. Now, where did I put those pictures? — Stephen E. Adams 1. Mrs. Lane, Photography Advisor, poses for a picture. 2.

TOMAHAWK STAFF 291 Being editor of this yearbook has been an experience I will never forget. It has had its good and bad points, but they all meant one thing to me: Choctawhatchee High School. It's very hard to please just one person, but when you must please an entire student body, that is the toughest thing in the world. At times I wondered if it was worth the trouble, but now I realize that this book is a part of me. The year started in many new ways; we were having spring delivery of the book, we had a new sponsor, and almost an entire new staff. All of these things presented problems to us, but we all worked together and solved them. Even though our sponsor, Steve Adams, had never worked on a yearbook before, he was a tremendous help to me and his jokes always made me laugh. The staff probably feel as if they know the worst side of me better than anyone else, but I always knew I could count on them. I never really told them thank you for all their hard work and how much they all meant to me, so thank you for every- thing. 1 also want to thank last year's editor, Amy Kuhn, for helping me out at times and teaching me all that she did about being an editor. My parents probably feel as if they lost a daughter during this year, but I want to tell them thank you for having patience with me and my bad moods and that I love them. I hope that this yearbook is special in some way to each student at Choctawhatchee High School.
