Powderpuff football is a little rougher than expected, but Senior girls manage to emerge victorious. (Above) With ease, Dan Glanders aims accurately for a free throw shot. Hands together in spirited applause, the Blazer cheering section is led by Tim Fara. PQ-CSoaCPDQS pirit induced by Blazer fans was mainly channeled towards getting together and having a rowdie time as well as supporting athletic activities. One event which uplifted and sparked spirit prior to the actual gametime of the Central Memorial football game, was the girl’s powderpuff football game in which the seniors decked the juniors with their powerful offense. Male cheerleaders dressed out in full uniform often stole the crowd’s attention with their shenanigans. This was also accompanied by the usual activities surrounding Spirit Week. An indirect outcome of this mania was Central romping Memorial in a 21-0 win bringing back the Mangy Lion. The prestigious lion became the newest old addition to the decor of the Student Center, a first in three years. During basketball season a new facade of spirit was inducted as Blazer fans incorporated Dress-up Night. Opposing team fans were often overwhelmed at the sight of Central students parading in togas, combat uniforms, paper hats and cowboy and Indian costumes. Introduction 5
