Memoirs of CHS nhe Yearbook Staff had an ex- tremely special job. It may have been hard to realize, but with on- ly 17 members and one dedicated advisor, we fought deadlines, out of control croppers, a gunky stamp pad, tipless grease pencils, and quad packs that refused to stay together, to produce a book of Chopticon’s most lasting memories. The 1985 Chopticonian really began in August of 1984. Three devoted staffers, Jean Sansbury, our editor, Kim Shewbridge, our photography manager, and Michelle Eskins, our other photographer all crammed into one tiny little Nova with the fearless driving ace, Mrs. McNamara behind the wheel and headed for Willamsburg for the Colonial Journalism Workshop. We stayed at the lush Hospitality House for four days. While Jean and Mrs. Mac stayed indoors listening to lectures about different yearbook techniques, Kim and Michelle were out on the streets getting some field experience in photography. In November the staff went in with the field hockey team to sell Chrysanthemums. The sale was successful, but we also receiv- ed a large amount of income from selling ads, patrons, and “Say it to the Seniors.” With an occasional “Bless Your Heart” for encouragement or Yearbook Staff Speech Number 187 to keep us in line, Mrs. Mac, and the staff, against all odds, put together a book of memories that will last a lifetime. Come on Colleen. I only have 15 more minutes! Dennis Burroughs asks Colleen Cusic her opinion of what pictures he should use for his spread. 118 CHALLENGES Yearbook

Mini-Mag Industrial Arts Project Promotes Learning, Leadership and Skill The boxes for tots project by the in- dustrial arts classes was a very successful one. The enterprise consisted of six steps: in- vesting money, buying materials, setting up the company, making the product, selling it, and making a profit. They were building boxes for pre-school aged children, made of wood and covered with a clear finish. They put out two orders consisting of eight small blocks, four medium and four large blocks.

Grade A Teachers Giving one hundred percent during school and then going home and giving 50% more. Who could these fearless, workaholics be? None other than the super teachers at C.H.S. The teaching staff at C.H.S. was always willing to spend that extra time after school, or during their lunches and planning periods to help students with difficult work, or just to lend an ear. r 120 Challenges Academics Mini-Mag Student of the Month Academic Students of the Month, implemented by Principal Mr. Chakales, was an excellent way to encourage students to give that extra little push and strive for better grades. Students were selected each month in agriculture, Art, Business, Distributive Ed., English, Foreign Language, Home Ec., Industrial Arts, Math, Music, Physical Ed., Reading, Science and Social Studies for recognition in their academic achievements for that month.
