◄During the third quarter, the varsity cheerleaders tossea mini-footballs into the stands. Fans of all ages jumped and cheered as they strove to capture one. m Symptoms of an anticipated evening Tension filled the air, excitement was expressed on the faces of the fans, and the foot- ball players got psyched-up in the locker room. All of these were symptoms of another foot- ball game. This one was dif- ferent though. It was the rival game between Clearwater and Largo. The Thursday night previous to the big game was the annual pep rally. The band, along with the varsity and jayvee cheer- leaders, fired-up the crowd. Instead of playing football, some of the team members ex- perienced the opportunity of cheering before a large audience. The varsity cheer- leaders organized tricycle races for the football players. “It was so funny to see those guys ride bikes that were so little,” said Kathy Malaxos. To end the pep rally, a tug-a-war contest took place on the field. The Tornadoettes and cheerleaders were headed toward victory until the football team regained their strength and out-tugged the girls. Cool temperatures had arrived on November 21, a night anticipated by many students who ached for revenge. Coffee and hot chocolate were sold at the concession stand. To stay warm, many students huddled under wool blankets. Winter jackets, hats and gloves were the clothes needed for that evening. Plans for the Largo game were prepared weeks in advance. The football team had undergone special training while the Tornadoettes reached perfection through their routines. The cheerleaders practiced each cheer and pyramid as the band perfected the last half-time show of the season. The senior class inflated helium balloons that displayed the theme “Rack the Pack.” These balloons were sold before the game and sailed into the air during the entire night. The competition between the two teams was tense at times. Yet, despite the winter weather, the Tornadoes had a winning score of 42-19. Once again, the Tornadoes proved that they had racked the pack.

To show their school spirit, many CHS students decorated the halls witn streamers and posters early on Friday morning.T Largo Game 25
