Spirit Beats On Fall homecoming was filled with familiar Bexley High School traditions. But this year, student council, under the supervision of Jim Ryan and Dean Chapelle, came up with two new activities to increase school spirit and participation. The seniors were victorious in the first activity, the men’s volleyball tournament, defeating the sophomores, the juniors, and then in a very close match, the faculty. Meanwhile, the soph- omores won the hall decorating contest, using the theme, “BHS is gonna rock it to you.” Ross Tague, student counsel president, felt that these two events were quite successful, and hoped that they would become a permanent addition to spirit week. While these new activities were taking place, the old BHS traditions continued. For the third year in a Fall Homecoming row, the juniors took first place in the float contest while the sophomores placed second, the seniors third, and the freshmen fourth. The juniors also edged out the seniors in both the powderpuff tournament and the tug-of-war. Once again, the cheerleaders had their annual car- nation sale. According to co-captain Jenny Chorpen- ning, the sale was so successful that, “We under- estimated the number of carnations to buy. We probably had more orders than ever before!” As home- coming continued, the spirit of all the classes grew considerably.

Did you know that in 1971 the 26 admendment to the Constitution gave 18 year olds the right to vote? a growth hormone was synthesized? the Lunar Rover was the first car on the Moon? silicon microchip was in- troduced? TV cigarette ads were banned? Disneyworld opened in Florida? the population was 205,443,000 (the population now is 246,900,000)? Fid- dler on the Hoof, The Emigrants, and The French Connection were top movies? Fashion sported the layered look, hemlines at the knee, max- shirts, and hot pants? A group of fellows show that cheering can lead to positive outcomes. Keeping in mind that in 1971 computers were not easily available, Noah Jones is happy to know technology has come of age.
