Freshmen win Wildcat Week ' s Tug-O-War For a full week in October, activities came before studies. Wildcat Week started on a Monday with hat and but- ton day. Many students wore crazy buttons, badges, and hats, as they roamed the school grounds. On Tuesday a 1950 ' s flashback was held. Students attended school dressed as in the ' 50 ' s, and a sockhop was held in the boys ' gym during sixth period. Many students attended the dance, but there was little participation in the dancing. Doris McConathy said, I think if the school is going to let us have Wildcat Week to represent our spirit, then we ought to show our spirit and have more participation in the activities. The rain may have dampened the annual bonfire but didn ' t dampen the Wildcat spirit because the Wildcats insisted on having the bonfire anyway on that wet Thursday night. Friday started off with a pep rally in the boys ' gym featuring the junior and senior Powder Puff teams. In the annual Powder Puff game the seniors once again beat the juniors 8-0. Seniors came out on top of the Rowdy-O games despite their loss to the overpowering freshmen in the Tug- O-War game. That afternoon the students had fun riding in the Wildcat parade to the Courthouse Park where the Wildcats held a final pep rally. That evening the Wildcats played the Clint, Texas Lions, losing the homecoming 28-6. The crowning of the cours took place during half time, and Wildcat Week ended with the Homecoming dance after the game. The crowning of the courts took place during half time, and Wilcats Week ended with the Homecoming dance after the game. J 1.
