Labs including field trips made up for the boring times spent in the classes during the day. There were several classes that did away with the books and book work and still learned a lot. One class was, Miss Malinowski’s English class, acted out a scene from trial in the play Medea. Mr. Richards Family Life class was studying a chapter about marriage and divorce. Following this they had a Mock Wedding on Oc- tober 19, 1985 at Mt. Zion United Methodist Church. Mrs. Krejcis Aerobic class performed in front all of the girls during an extended homeroom. They also traveled to middle schools to perform. Mrs. Klein-Russell’s Spanish II class put together a play based on a traffic jam. And they plan to fix a Mexican meal. Miss Calvert’s French class made up a play concerning aliens invading Chopticon. All of the Agriculture classes traveled to the Charles County Fair held in September. Here they judged tobacco and poultry. After that they traveled to Richmond, Virginia to the Philip Morris Tobacco Company for a tour. Changing environments proved to be a learning experience for many — and they had fun too! Classes were more than books and book work — they were an experiment in learning. r -i Labs 01

SLACK ATTACK! Have you ever wondered who is behind this mass of pictures and copy you are holding in your hands right now? It was none other than the devoted yearbook staff. We made it through another year of unmet deadlines and completed deadlines, rough draft and redrafted copy, lost designs and found designs, donut parties, gossip sessions and a LARGE amount of work. The ’86 Chopticonian started in Williamsburg. Va. at the Colonial Journalism Workshop with editor Kim O’Connor and advisor Mrs. D. L. McNamara's award winning designs seen in this book. Then from the start of September, produc- tion began. The yearbook staff was anything but quiet. From selling posters, raffle tickets, pens, the book, ads. and pictures to participating in the Homecoming float parade, the staff kept busy out- side of the classroom. Fundraisers originally were sold for a Myrtle Beach yearbook convention. However, the goal profit was not met. Negotiations with our publishing representative allowed the time we would have been at the convention, to complete the deadlines. Through all this the yearbook staff accom plished their main goal of “Putting it on the lie for you.” She’s got her eyes over you Mrs. Mac! Kim O’Connor and Mrs. McNamara work diligently on the book’s ladder diagram. The best yearbook staff ever! Front Row: Mrs. Mac. Second Row: Christine May, Greg Russell. Mahan Lane.
