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.

Is This Anyway to Run a Cheering Squad? The powder puff football game, sponsored by the Student Council, was played to raise money for the American Field Service's student ex- change program. The game also gave the cheerleaders and some of the spec- tators a chance to discover what skills are involved in preparing for a foot- ball game. The All-Star team tryouts were put through a series of skill tests to determine who would best be able to fulfill each position. Each had to run the 50-yard dash and practice catching and passing the football. They also had to learn several football plays, such as the reverse, quarter- back sneak, the 10-out, and the 5-out plays. Helping the All-Stars acquire the skills necessary to compete with the Bunnies and Cheerleaders were Tom Blevins, Allan Hanks, and Ed Stowers. Coaching the Bunnies and the Cheer- leaders were Greg Daly, Mark Mabry, and Dennis Stoffel.
