I m One Voice For CHS When it came to voices, Chris Schubert’s was loud . . . not so much in sound as in smarts. She competed against 138 other students from St. Mary’s Coun- ty to win the Voice of Democracy contest. The contest was an essay on My Pledge to America. The essays were recorded in the WKIK studio and the tapes were then sent to the judges. Chris won a trophy for herself and a one hundred seventy-five dollar savings bond. Chris was also involved with another kind of democracy. She was a student member of the Board of Education. While she was not a voting member, she had full rights to bring up issues and debate. Senior in ’85, leader for tomorrow Chris Schubert, one of Chopticon’s voices.

But I heard WMDM announce school was closed. My dog has a chronic backache and was sick this morning. For being tardy to class I heard there was going to be a blitz so I hid. There was a traffic jam in the bathroom. 1 was stuck behind a slow moving couple. For late assignments It’s due today? The A-Team was on last night. My pen ran out of ink and K-Mart was closed. MM Teachers, Please Close Your Doors Out of 3rd period, it was a mad dash down the hall to your locker and back upstairs for your next class. Never know- ing quite when a Blitz would occur, it was safest being as quick as possible. Will 1 make it to class? Or will I face certain doom if I don’t and am caught in the Blitz??? Those statements were how people didn't react to the Blitz policy our school adopted. However, the school ad- ministrators felt this was an effective way to keep students in class when they were supposed to be. You see, after the bell rang for students to be in class, Mr. Chackles would, at times, announce over the P.A. system that the Blitz was on. Teachers were then asked to close doors and to admit no one. Students in the halls were sent to the cafeteria and those without valid passes received a demerit. And that was what a Blitz really was. The BUTZ strikes again' These students were caught In the blitz and arc heading for their demerits. 9r Cruisin' Mini Mag

Caring is Sharing CHS Donates $725 In keeping with the spirit of giving at Christmas, CHS students organized a schoolwide fund raiser for the famine victims of Ethiopia. In only two days we raised a whopping $725.00. It was presented to the Famine Relief Fund sponsored by the Red Cross just before Christmas vacation. Our efforts were noted in a letter to-the-editor from the Red Cross appearing in the Enter- prise. More than the recognition in the coun- ty paper was the satisifaction in knowing that we had done something to reach across the world and help keep hunger at bay. We want your money Mr Murray. Mrs Comer, Debbie Westerfield. and Kelly Hanus deposit the money they collected for the Ethiopian Relief Fund.

We Were Just Walkin’ in the Rain A tradition for many years, the St. Mary’s County Fair was a place for area kids to go. There were rides, exhibits, vendors and lots of food. Most students preferred playing the games. Despite rain and mud all three days of the fair, those braving the weather had a good time. Junior Cindy Hall was St. Mary’s County Farm Queen, with Princesses Senior Kaye Quade and Senior Colleen Cusic. In order to be in the parade you had to make a float. The farm queen float was an old wagon with hay inside containing little displays of tractors and pigs. It was pull- ed by horses and won second place in the float competition. Senior Joyce Stasch represented CHS for Queen of Tolerance contest.

All We Need Is L ve What Is Love? Is it walking down the halls of Chopticon, arm-in-arm with your sweetheart? Or is it thinking about him, when you really should be doing your English work? Is it seeing a guy in the lunchroom that you really like and blushing with shyness as your heart feels like its going to burst open when he smiles and says “Hi!”? What Am I Going To Wear? This is what every girl dreads thinking about on the weekends . . . especially if this is your first date with the guy. He takes you out to this fancy restaurant and you hope you don’t spill anything down your Mother's favorite blouse. After he drops you off, you wonder if he will call you again. Even though we have our worries . . . the friendships we develop, the people we love bring a lift to our days. ' M 28 Dating Couples
