Freshman twirler Kristi Grubbs nervously awaits her turn to go out on the field. Following their performance, the Dashing Debs line up along the sidelines to view the rest of the halftime show. Catching that touchdown pass or making the big play on third and long is not the only aspect of the football game. Halftime performers, for instance, practice their music and dances to near perfection. Twirlers, flags, and rifle corps all start preparing their perfor- mance at the end of the first quarter. Then, five minutes prior to half- time, the Debs begin their warm-ups, while the band members prepare for the big show. Closer to the field of play, trainers act quickly when injuries occur. The many spirit signs around the stadium are only possible through the efforts of the STUDENT LIFE 6 cheerleaders. Another group helping out is FFA, who mans the concession stands at Owl games. Finally, one must not forget the loyal fans who fill the stands each Friday night. With their anticipa- tion of a victory from the mighty Owls, they are will- ing to sit through four quarters of wet and freez- ing weather, providing loyalty and spirit to their favorite teams. Juniors Keith Seay and Mark Cobb order drinks at the concession stand, manned by FFA.

Complaints multiplied as word spread that the location of victory dances had been moved from the Boys' gym to the Deb gym, as was the pattern in years past. The main rea- son for this transition was to prevent heels from ruining the floors. Moving the dance didn't eliminate this problem. The solution was to require students to take off their shoes at the door, Another rule stu- dents learned to abide by was the presenting of school lD's. Nevertheless, the mighty 7269413 Hwaq Owls hit victories right and left, sending multi- tudes of students to the dancefloor. One of the newest and most popular styles of rock dancing was the New Wave, or punk rock. With the sounds of groups such as B-52, Cars, and Devo, punkers made their way to the center circle where they ree- nacted the Pogo, the Jerk, or the Escalator. At the initial note of Cot- ton-Eyed Joe, two-step- pers lined up ready to go. Breathless shouts of exhausted laughter filled the air, and with tremen- dous participation, an empty space on the dance floor was hard to find. Students relax while listening to the rock group Maple at the Homecoming dance after the game. Sheri Crane joins the crowd learn the latest punk 20 VICTORY DANCES dance.
