THE SKY IS THE LIMIT Pasf the Clouds 152 As the school year comes to a close, bulletin boards come down, inventories are made of storage rooms. Small things, in preparing the school for the summer, make you say — where did all the time go? One can't help but to look back. Was it the deciding goal being called back in the Regional championship game? The basket made — but missed at the sound of the buzzer, or the two extra takedown points to insure the SMAC championship? Or was it getting the last signature on a field trip form, running the last lap in the weekly run, falling asleep in ninth period, or getting the 88th turn of your ring? Looking back, reviewing the year as it happened and now as it closes, these questions seem miles away. Every experience helped you achieve and learn of new limits. Being pushed all the way to the sky by your own power of living a major part of your life at Chopticon. And forever carrying that with you. A sad and abrupt end to a well-fought season is a thought that all 86 field hockey players, coaches, parents, and supporters will carry with them But, after the tears were cleared away, Mrs. Bottorf s girls realized who were the real winners of that final game. A sincere thank you goes to Mrs Bottorf for the use of this picture out of her special collection. Junior Rita Wood and senior Danny Wood share a few private moments in the breezeway Danny ended his high school career with the company of a special friend, and as he graduates he will take many fond memories with him of his years spent at CHS.
