FUN IN THE SUN The Student Government Association kept themselves very busy throughout this school year. On March 30, a group of S.G.A. members attended a three-day con- vention in Hagerstown, Maryland to meet S.G.A. members from other high schools, discuss legislation, and vote for next year's officers. On May 4, student government spon- sored their annual field day. Starting out the morning with a teacher vs. student basketball game and a pep rally in the gym, kids were then let loose to the outdoors for the rest of the day. Plenty of activities were planned for this day. The events were: a live band, mud wrestling competi- tion, a dunking booth, water balloon danger area, video games, and a D) from WMDM, along with plenty of refreshments. Field day was a big success, and participants enjoyed themselves. Chopticon's S.G.A. held their elections on May 25 for new officers. On lune 5, the incoming 9th graders from our feeder schools came to visit Chopticon. S.G.A. of- fered a presentation of our many activities, took the students on a tour of our school, and served them ice cream. For relaxation, S.G.A. planned a trip to King's Dominion on lune 9. All S.G.A. members were invited. 25 please. Dana Reilly and Becky are happy to sell Garfield Butler brownies Well, you see Mrs. Nelson ...
