Faculty Favorites Many yearbooks conduct surveys that show what student’s favorites were for the year, but the '84 Chopticonian decided to take a look at the other side. The yearbook staff distributed to all the teachers a survey that asked them to answer six questions. They were asked: what was your favorite school subject, type of music, movie, sport, hobby, and book. The responses to the survey were varied and most were serious, but some teachers couldn't help themselves, which lead to such answers as: Mr. Brookhart's answer for his favorite book Faculty Manual and Mrs. Chew's Zen the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. Ms. Chew also stated her favorite song was Mack the Knife and Mr. Palko's response in that category was Don't Throw That Touchdown to Anyone Else But Me. Last, but not least, Mr Palko answered the questions about favorite subject, sport, and hobby with one word FOOTBALL (I wonder where his mind was). The top five serious answers have been listed on the next page. They surprisingly showed that stu- dent's and teacher's tastes were not that different.

Building What was the Tech Center? Was it a place for juniors and Seniors to get out of school, or maybe a place for them to learn a trade for their future? It definitely was not a place to get out of school work! The students at the Tech Center learned everything from cosmetology to plumbing. Whether they wanted the trade they learned as a job or not, they all worked hard. They gained prac- tical experience through different projects provided by the Tech Center. For example classes such as the residential wiring, plumb- ing, brick laying, carpentry, horticulture, sheet metal, and welding combined to build a house that after completion will be sold by a real estate agent or by sealed bid. The house, owned by the County Commissioners, was a sort of landmark for the students who participated for a job well done! They were not the only classes which gained practical ex- perience in school. The cosmetology classes had paying customers come in for them to practice cutting, coloring, or perm- ing hair. The nursing program has sent prospective nurses to the hospital, and nursing home to get experience. It gave students a chance to see if they were cut out to nurse. The Tech Center — not a chance to escape from school, but a chance to build a future.
