Tradition Kept and Tradition Broken as Seniors Enjoy a Beautiful Day, a Little Hard Work and a Lot of Fun. Once again it was time to repaint and renew the CHS barn with the spirit from the class of ’85. There was a lot of fun to be had as Seniors threw paint and things at each other while having a just plain good time. Part of the CHS tradition, only the Seniors were responsi- ble for the new coat of white paint. How long did it remain white? Not long, in fact barely long enough for the paint to dry. Then soon it was once again covered with expressions of enthusiastic Seniors who covered it with their names, special relationships, and nick names. The bright colors and fancy designs included fluorescent colors and impressive art works. The same day as the bam painting, the Seniors were given a class picnic by the juniors ... a break in tradition. This was the first picnic given in place of the standard banquet. It proved to be a good substitute for the banquet as softball and good food was enjoyed by all. The main attraction continued to be the slide show, popular whether shown at a banquet or a picnic. Boy, did it bring back the memories for the class of ’85 . . . I wanna pitch! 1 wanna pitch ... Jenny Hambek denies Charlie Roach his turn to be the pitcher Bubble Bubble, toil and trouble . ..

Community Awards, Memorials, and Inspirational Words Make a Special Evening On May 28, the Senior Class held the 5th annual Baccalaureate ceremony. The service opened with Community Awards given to Dr. Pat Hawkins of Walden and to Mrs. Joan Ritchie, PTSA presi- dent and Band Boosters president. Then the gift from the class of ’85 was presented to Mr. Chakales. They gave $1,000.00 to the Beverly Heater Trust Fund. There were several guest speakers to encourage our CHS graduating class to excel, make the most of the time ahead of them, and to enjoy life to the fullest. Among the speakers were. Principal Dwight Chakales, the Rev. Stanley N. Beall of Hughsville Baptist Church, class sponsors Linda Perrygo and Nancy Chew, plus students from the class of ’85. One of the strongest messages was given by Vice Principal Steve Olczak. He stressed giving more than you take, and you will someday be a very happy person. Senior Brian Dean touched on the subject of how giving and helpful his teachers and coaches at Chopticon were. They helped make him a better person, “without them I would have been lost. They have made it a lot easier for us and they are well appreciated.” After the ceremony, a reception was given for Seniors and their guests in the school cafeteria sponsored by the Class of '87. It pro- vided a great ending to a very special evening. Start the music, begin your walk, and watch that candle! Fay Farrell.
