Those Crazy Days Pillows, pajamas, and teddy bears; plaid shirts, horned rimmed glasses, and 10 pen- cils in your pocket; chains, green hair, and trash bags; poodle skirts, plaid, and bell bot- toms; feathers, headresses, and everyone in red and black; What did this describe? Nothing else except Homecoming Week at CHS. Chopticon’s Homecoming Week wasn’t just dressing up everyday, all week long last minute dates were made for the dance, dresses bought, and corsages ordered. By Thursday most dates had been made but still a few girls wore buttons announcing to the school that they were in need of an escort to the dance. On Thursday the real excitment started when the fire department had to be called to put out Chopticon’s fire. Bonfire that is. The fire burned hot while classes and organizations had sacrifices from Northerns fight song to a stuffed Northern Patriot made by the cheerleaders. After the bonfire a disco followed. The pep rally on Friday started to get everyone pschyed for the big game. It was highlighted with a Mr Legs contest. When the participants were teachers, Mr. Magdic walked away with the best legs award. The spirit stick was won by Sophomores. Friday’s winning events started with the Homecoming Parade. Last minute ad- justments were made on floats before they were judged. The floats paraded by while students watched with pride, for all their work had finally paid off. The crowning of King and Queen followed the parade. All the Princes and Princesses walked nervously out on the field wondering if they would be the next Homecoming Queen and Grand Mar- shall. Everything was quiet when they an- nounced Mike Sams as Grand Marshall and Diana Woods as Queen. The football game brought a lot of excite- ment. The cheering crowd helped lead the Braves to a victory over the Patriots. The man of my dreams' Trina Parks always wanted to kiss a Brave.

Election »84 Landslide sweeps Reagan into his 2nd term. CHS predicted the out- come of the ’84 election, selecting Reagan with a margin of 2-1. This election was one of the greatest vic- tories in history. Reagan carried all states and territories except the District and Mon- dale's home state of Minnesota. The defeat shocked the nation as Mondale carried only 13 electoral votes to Reagan’s 518. Walter Mondale made history in choosing his running mate for the ’84 election. His choice, was Geraldine Ferraro, the one best qualified in Mondale’s opinion. Students felt Mondale was seeking more female votes, and was showing his support of Equal Rights. What ever the reason, Ms. Ferraro made her place in history by accepting the Democratic nomination for the position of Vice Presi- dent. President Reagan, addresses marching bands from all over the country gathered at the Capital Centre. They didn't get to march down Pennsylvania Avenue due to the bitter cold. This was the first Inaugural Parade to be cancelled. i-14 Cruisin’ Election
