degartment and several other
subject areas this week launch
eda campaifll to involve more
Chattooga High students in
the annual District Literary
Meet held in the spring.
Miss Ann Evett will be
coordinating Chattooga's en
tries in the meet this year, and
individual teachers have taken
charge of the separate
categories in order to work

Indian Lore Turns The Tables On The Teachers . ..
“What I Did Over Summer Vacation”
By TRACY WARREN
AND MISTY MILLER
On the first day of school,
manly teachers, especially
English teachers, have their
students write a paper on
“What I Did During Summer
Vacation.”” Well, this year the
Indian Lore staff turned the
tables on the teachers.
Teachers were given a survey
about their summer activities
and were asked to return their
responses. Not all teachers
responded, but those who did
proved that even teachers are
allowed to have interesting
summertime activities.
The teachers were asked in
general how they spent their
summer. Answers ranged from
relaxing at home to going to
exotic vacations. One new
teacher, Mrs. Angie Thrasher,
was content with graduatin
from college and visiting witfi
her parents. Several teachers
sgent the summer remodeling
their homes or even building
new ones. One teacher, Coach
Cash, was married over the
summer and honeymooned in
Cancun, Mexico.
Not content at the idea of
being out of school for almost
a full three months, ‘some
teachers became students dur
ing the summer and took col
lege classes. Mrs. Gibbs, a
science teacher, took a Founda
tions of Education class at
West Georgia College.
Agriculture teacher Mr. Mat
teson took classes in the
Chattooga Demolished By Armuchee Indians, 26-0
By BRIAN WEST
The Chattooga Indians
were defeated a third time last
Friday night in their first at
home game, this time by the
Armuchee Indians, 26-0. In a
rainy-weather game, the In
dians proved to be little com
petition for Armuchee, who
came out in the first quarter
with a tough defense ang an ex
ceptionally good offense. After
several transitions, Armuchee
scored on a long pass, but the
point after was no good.
The second quarter was
?retty much a repeat of the
irst, with things going most
ly Armuchee’'s way, but Chat
tooga managed to hold their
ogponents back enough to keep
the score at 6-0, Armuchee, at
the end of the first half.
In the third quarter, Ar
muchee drove the ?ength of the
field, and in two big plays, Link
Burkett scored from 11 yards
out. The point after attempt
was again no good. |
The Indians took the
kickoff to the 32-yard line, but
on the next play Corey Perry
was socked ?or a loss of two
yards, followed closely by a
five-yard penalty. Eventually
the Indians were forced to
punt. : i
Armuchee took the punt on
their own 41-yard line and mov
ed downfield 15 yards because
of a personal foul by CHS, to
the (?hattooga 44. A long run
on the next play sank Ar
muchee deep into Indian ter
ritory on the CHS 16-yard line.
At tg,e second and 5, Armuchee
took the ball in for a
touchdown, but it was called

students as much time as
possible to prepare.
One of the first areas of
competition to take place,
before Christmas, is the one-act
play. Mr. John Turner will be
directing the one-act play, and
students interested in audition
ing should see him.
In music competition, there
are events for girls’ and boys’
piano, girls' and boys' solo,
§/ilrls' trio and boys' quartet.
rs. Colwell and Miss Evett
will be coordinating these
events, and interested students
should contact them about
auditioning. -
Chattooga is organizing a
new debate team for competi
tion. The debate competition
will take place early in 1989.
Mrs. Coleman will be in charge
organization of wvocational
education at Alabama A&M.
Mr. Shealy took a staff
development workshop offered
by the county board of educa
tion. This class presented
methods of instruction design
ed to meet the needs of in
dividual students in
classrooms. Mr. Stokes took a
welding class at the Georgia
Power Training Center in
Milledgeville.
There were numerous
teachers who, faced with a
choice of taking a class or
teaching one, decided it truly
was more blessed to give than
to receive. They taught sum
mer school students who need
ed extra classes in order to
pass or to stay on track. These
teachers spent six weeks of
their summer in class. Mrs.
Selman, Mrs. White and Mr.
Perry taught English classes.
Mr. Matteson taught through
the use of the student
supervised agricultural ex
perienced program. Mr. Becton
could be seen hanging around
the school a great deal during
the summer, even though he
didn't teach summer school.
He did provide private lessons
for ‘several students in the
band, however. : -
Many teachers enjoyed
their summer by spending time
in various parts of the United
States. Many chose to go
south, with Panama City
Beach, Florida the most often
mentioned vacation site. Also
back because of clipping penal
ty. The Indians made a tough
stand and got the ball when Ar
muchee turned it over on the
fourth and 16.
Chattooga took over on the
20 but got no yardage, having
to punt. Armuchee fumbled on
the third down and Chattooga
recovered, ending the third
quarter with a little momen
tum. Unfortunately, in the first
play of the final quarter, Chat
tooga fumbled, giving Ar
muchee possession. In two
plays, Armuchee took it to the
In(fians’ 30 and scored on a
g(a)sg play, bringing the score to

popular were Jekyll Island,
Gulf Shores, Daytona Beach,
Clearwater and Ocalla. One
teacher took an extended vaca
tion, visiting several attrac
tions. Among a few were
Yellowstone National Park, the
Grand Canyon, the Petrified
Forest, the f’,ainted Desert, the
Alamo and NASA in Houston,
Texas. Some teachers traveled
north to Canada, the Niagara
Falls, Maine and Boston.
Some teachers decided to
sit back and take it easy dur
ing the summer, but others
went on full-force. David Mat
teson was elected to a two-year
term as Director of District
Four in the Georgia Vocational
Agricultural Teachers Associa
tion. Mrs. Selman attended the
Georgia Vocational Associa
tion convention at the Mariott
Marque in Atlanta. Mr. Snow
instructed a nature class at
Camp Hamby as well as help
ing with the Boy Scout camp.
Mr. Perry spent a week at
Georgia Tech with yearbook
students, where the staff won
a sweepstakes award. Mr. and
Mrs. Hair helped set up several
summer programs in and
around the county.
So, Chattoo, a}ll{igh School
teachers for t%xe meost part
didn’t just sit around and while
aw?' the hours, lonely for their
students. Instead, most of
them were enjoying a deman
ding and fulfilling time away
from the hassle o% school.
and bad weather continuing,
the Armuchee Indians con
tinued to pour it on. After
receiving the kickoff and get
ting no yards, Chattooga
punted. Armuchee got a first
down on a spectacular 50-yard
run, then took it down to the
one-yard line, scoring on the
next play. The point after at
tempt was no good, but Ar
muchee had managed to
deliver a stunning blow to the
lChattooga Indians with a 26-0
OSS.
The Indians will be facing
the Darlington Tigers this
week at home. Gametime will
be 8 p.m.

and Kyle Pledger.
Smoke Signals will air each
Wednesday evening at 6
o'clock on é,hanne] 6. The TV
show is the only high-school
produced news program of its
type in the state.
The weekly radio program,
Tribal Talk, won Best in State
honors last year: This year, the
show will make use of several
staff members, rather than just
two anchors as it did last year.
On the fist show of the season
last week, practically each staff

One of the changes that occurred at Chattooga High
School during the summer was the moving of the jour
nalism room into larger quarters. Mr. Perry's room was
moved to the old cosmetology lab, which provided space
for the weekly TV show to%z’e taped, for yearbook and
newspaper workers to have their own space, and even

Anti-Drug Program
On Friday, Sept. 16,
students at Chattooga High
School previewed a program
focusing on taking prigg in
themselves, in their communi
ty, and in their county through
a drug-free life style. The pro
gram was presented by the
PRIDE Kids, a firoup of 13 to
20-year-olds who volunteer
their time to spread a drug-free
message. The program was
sponsored and t}l)m(ferd by the
Northwest Georgia RESA
(Regional Education Service
Agency), Drug Free Schools
and Communities program,
which services 1(? school
systems throughout Nor
thwest Georgia.
PRIDE is the acronym for
Parent's Resource Institute for
Drug Education and is an in
ternational drug prevention
a%ency based in Atlanta.
Although originally formed for
parents, PRIDE is now work
iniwith young peogle who are
taking responsibility for
themselves and for influencing
their peers in a positive
manner.
The PRIDE Kids emphasiz
ed the positive side of drug-free
livin% rather than the negative
attributes of drug use. The
PRIDE Kids performed for
First Lady Nancy Reagan at
the 1986 PVRIDE (gonference in
Atlanta, and for the first ladies
of the 50 states at the 1988
PRIDE Conference. Over
55,000 students have seen the
program since 1985.
