Some costume party this turned out to be ... P.5.P. and other students cheer the Panther team in Marshall. MARSHALL WELCOMES P.H.S. TRAVELERS Seven chartered buses, packed to the brim with excited Paschalites, departed from the school on September 24 for Marshall. One bus transported the newly organized spirit group, P.S.P., who performed at this game for the first time. Most of the buses carried soft drinks, and, de- spite the fact that few eating places were available upon arriving in Marshall, Paschalites were not hungry, for they went equipped with sandwiches, fried chicken, cook- ies, and cake. Although filled with great hopes of cheer- ing their team to victory, students suffered disappoint- ment when the Marshall Mavericks overcame the Pan- thers by a score of 25 to 7. Students then reboarded buses for the long and somewhat sadder trip home. That song wos so bad that Zock Hurts ond Richard ' s Akey. Students entertain themselves on the bus trip with folk music. Gayle Clark tests the wind to see where all the hot air is coming from. Panthers relax on the bus to Marshall. 49

You trip her and I ' ll grab her pom-poms! Cheerleader Don Jones leads the pack to begin the pep rally in fine style. Since athletic events are such an integral part of Pas- chal student life, the pep rallies which precede them hold a position of great importance. To the students, the rallies serve as an opportunity to voice support of the athletes. Participation in long-standing traditions brings about a feeling of unity which is difficult to attain in a group as large as Paschal ' s student body. To the young gladia- tors who represent Paschal in athletic competition, the pep rallies are an Instrument of encouragement. At the helm are the cheerleaders and the band. It is the job of these two groups to inspire all present to do whatever possible to contribute to another Paschal victory. What does MUIROTIDUA mean? Footboll boys, in Paschal fashion, touch the auditorium door for luck. Whooo, Pig Soooey! A special basketball rally, held in the main foyer, incites school spirit in students. If you try, you can fly. Panthers respond to the encourage ment of the cheerleaders. 51
