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. A: Denise Harrison offers Debbie Whitaker a drink from her bottle as Brenda Morgan wishes she could have some. 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.
