Rabbit Glory, Mesa High's Story Many hours were spent in prepara- tion for the Gah-tso Rally. Floats were planned, skits were written, and stadium decorations were constructed. Each class was allowed fifty dollars for expenditures and whatever money was donated from the three classes. Working on floats, skits, and stadium decorations lasted from six o'clock until ten o'clock on week- days. On weekends they worked from ten oiclock until midnight. Class spon- sors had to be in attendance at each work area or Gah-tso points could be subtracted from their final score. Each class had certain guidelines to follow in the pre-Gah-tso prepara- tions. Flat bed trailers and lumber had to be acquired. Tools and decorations had to be purchased. The classes also had to prepare skits which could last only eight minutes. Setting up scenery, actual time performance, and clearing the set had to be completed in this time or points would be subtracted.

Page l8-Student Life Every year the students of each class compete in building floats, pre- paring skits, decorating the stadium, as well as the yells, attendance and sportsmanship. The theme for the Gah-tso rally Rabbit Glory, Mesa High's Story reigned Thursday night, October 14th. It was held to boost spirit for the Central-Mesa game. Chants could be heard as the students paraded down Main Street and then to Jackrabbit Stadium, led by the Seniors and followed by the Juniors and the Sophomores. Senior's color was red, Junior's was blue, and the Sophomore's was orange. Both the Juniors and Seniors wore crowns, while the Sophomores wore rabbit C3I'S. The Seniors dominated the rally by taking first place in class yells, skits, attendance, sportsmanship and stand decorations. The Juniors took first place in the float. Seniors came out on top with a final score of 31 points, followed by the Juniors with 19 points, and the Sophomores with 13 points. ive' ' Vi 3'-TX ' 1 ll in
