FANS STIR SPIRIT Frankton fans partici- pated in a variety of ac- tivities in showing their spirit, enthusiasm, and loyalty in the 1972-73 school year. They yelled and screamed at foot- ball and basketball games, and at wrestling and track meets, urging their teams on to hope- ful victory. Spirit was shown by many from parents and graduates right down to. the mem- bers of pep club, band and the student body. Without the support of Frankton fans, school spirit would not exist.

Kiddie Day was a part of sectional week in which many students showed spirit by dress- ing up each day. B: Even teachers get involved in sports action as Mrs. Bivens takes time out from selling the Beak 'n' Eye to watch the game. C: The scorekeepcrs and timers keep a solid watch on the playing floor as split second timing and accurate records are vital to die game. D: Debbie Vice, a 1972 grad- uate of FHS, is still backing the Eagles. Many former stu- dents return to attend school activities. E: With wide- eyed (and wide-mouthed) enthusiasm the FHS pep club cheers the team on through thick and thin. F: An exciting game leads to jumping cheer- leaders and screaming fans.

In competition with other squads the FHS cheer- leaders received four second place ribbons and one third place. Be- sides going to cheerlead- ing camp, the varsity and reserve girls prac- ticed nearly every day during the summer. WITH the beginning of school in the fall, came time for the freshmen tc vote for three freshmen cheerleaders. The cho- sen girls were Dawn Pike, Sharon Lamb and Gayle Walter. After their election, these girls joined the reserve and varsity cheerleaders in practicing after schoo BEING a cheerleader is more than just having a lot of fun and meeting other cheerleaders.
