Dec Cross, Cindy Dixon, and Beth Hammett wait for their chance to throw the FBLA project into the bonfire FBLA was already hard at work when the school year began The first few weeks of school were set aside for encouraging more students to join in on the various activities. Selling Tom Watt, to help pay their way to the Joint Fall Leadership Conference in Hagerstown, and giving parties to elementary schools were only a few of the activities FBLA planned for the year. One of the most im- portant events of the school year was the Regional Competition on February 6. Eleven 1st place win- ners and four 2nd place winners got the opportuni- ty to go to Hagerstown, April 10-12 for the State Competition.

Well, another sketch and 1 will have completed my duties. Steve West did most of the an work featured in every issue of the Icon Copy, pictures, and extremely hard work all lead to the publication of the Icon. Mr. Parker, new to Chopticon. headed the staff of fourteen students. Ninth period in room 107 everyday of the school year was the newspaper's headquarters. Reporters were writing stories and typing them into the computer. Other staff members were busy taking pictures, developing them, and measuring. Just clean up the spelling and it will be great copy. Mr Parker. Icon advisor and also tenth grade English teacher, gives his approval. Fifty minutes was not enough to successfully work on an edition of the Icon, many after school hours were put in to finish deadlines. Work was not over after the paper was sent to the printers, a new issue was yet to be started. Through the hard times and the good times, the CHS newspaper always seemed to be completed. Not another case of writer s block. Phil Wilson is one of Icon's roving reporters who is always there to catch the scoop and form it into an article 116 ICON
