Fantasies Fulfilled ... Homecoming '83 If you had walked through the halls on October 10, you may have thought that a lot of people forgot to get dressed or just overslept. Spirit Week began with Pajama Day On October 11, Chopticon took a walk down Memory Lane for out-of-style day. Boy, did we have some styles! They varied from the stone age through the 80's. Most students got out Mom and Dad's old school clothes to make the past part of the present. Like wow! Fer sure, fer sure! Chopticon has gone punk! There was a wide range of styles from purple, red and glittered hair to leather dresses and mini skirts. Some peo- ple wore chains, some even dressed in trash bags. No matter what was worn on October 12, CHS went New Wave. Maybe because it was Thursday, but whatever the cause, that day was the craziest. People wore two different shoes and socks; someone even dressed as a pink elephant. As the day went on, students just got crazier, because they could not wait for the bon-fire followed by the disco. Unfortunately, all we got was the Candyland Sock-Hop, since the bon- fire was cancelled due to rain. It was rescheduled for Great Mills week. Then the big day arrived; Brave Day. All up and down the halls you saw red and black. People were even dressed as In- dians. All classes were shortened that day so that we could have our Pep Rally The real fun began at the Pep Rally. The band performed for us, and the cheerleaders put on a skit with the Senior football players. The Class of '85 beat out the classes of '84 and '86 for the spirit stick. The Class of '87 was excluded from the competition. As the youngest class at Chopticon, the freshmen hadn't quite got- ten the knack of controlled enthusiasm, and they were escorted out of the Pep Ral- ly for disorderly conduct Such was the life of a lowly freshman If this would only stay!
