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
