ln the fall rallies, MHS's new Student Center was the focus of a reinvigorated school spirit. Capacity crowds of lively students contributed to the rallies' success. As a new spirit-grabbing feature, each class was assigned to one of the four corners of the building. By using this new seating arrangement, devised by Rally Commissioner Dean Handy, the organization and enthusiasm of class yells improved over previous years. The class yells were a popular part of each rally where students had the chance to use their lung-power to exhibit their superiority over the other classes. The rivalry sharpened as class competition revealed itself in balloon blowing, banana eating, and pencil dropping. Stuffing students in refrigerator boxes was the high point of the Marysville vs. Lindhurst Rally. One of the few rallies not held in the Student Center was the freshman rally. Highlighting the frosh rally on November 4 was an egg-catching contest which quickly disintegrated into an egg-throw among a few rowdy seniors. The memorable Homecoming Rally, held in the football stadium following the Homecoming Parade, presented a procession of immodest males marching around in their underdrawers and football helmets. MHS Band and Pep Squad performed at every rally, adding an unmistakable sparkle to each of the fall rallies. 1 7 i A - . ..:.' i't'21iiE' f 'f .W S ' Y, , l:.f11v.li.-'ii M'-2 alsl .

sl l., J 4 , -f G6 Hindllmurstt week In order to boost the morale ofthe Marysville Indians cmd psych out the Lindhurst Blazers, November 3 through November 5 was set aside as spirit-grabbing dress-up days. However, low participation hindered the success of Lindhurst Week. But those who did participate helped intensify the growing rivalry, The designated days were Paiama Day, Lindhurst Freak Day, and Black-and-Orange Day. Another spirit- raising activity was a Tug-O-War between women faculty members and girls, with the girls coming out on top and the women faculty on the bottom . . . of the ground. Winners of the Tug-O-War and the best costumes were awarded 5 pound bags of popcorn at the rally on November 5. One outstanding costume on Lindhurst Freak Day was that of an anonymous person dressed as Frankenstein. This visiting creature with a Block L letter in its coat walked the halls of MHS for half a day before returning to its home, Lindhurst High School. One destructive aspect of Lindhurst week was the minor vandalism that resulted. Mild obscenities and the letters LHS were spray painted on the Old Field House, around the entrance to South Campus, on the North Auditorium, and in the back of the school on telephone poles. An egg throw between MHS students and LHS students returning from their bon fire took place in the Marysville student parking lot on the Friday night before the game. Egg cartons and egg shells lined both the parking lot and the street.
