Spirit backers Out of the locker room and onto the field barrelled the wild, spirited players. They suddenly stopped. Something was wrongg something was missing. Turning their heads, they realized the stands were empty, the people were goneg only the eerie stillness of the night remained. No cheers, no drums, no run- through signs and no applause greet- ed them. There was, in fact no one to play or win for. All spirit, drive and determination quickly drained from the players. With dismal faces and saddened hearts, the game was played. Needless to say, the other team scored an easy victory. Where were the cheerleaders and the fans? Where could the band, pep club and drill team have been? Sometimes, though not intention- ally, one tends to forget that a successful athletic team, whether it is football, basketball, track, tennis, gymnasstics or volleyball, does not totally depend on the players or the coaching staff. Who raises overall spirit? Who encourages enthusiasm and participa- tion? Who makes the posters and banners that abound each week? Who organizes and attends the pep rallies? Who plays the old familiar fight song over and over? lf all these supporters suddenly disappeared, who would be left to carry on? The success of an athletic depart- ment, therefore, depends not only on the ability of the players or coaches, but also on the many people who spend time, effort and money to raise enthusiasm. Such organizations exist- ed at Parkview. Cheerleaders, pep club, Liberty Belles, Barrow Road Gang, band and booster club. Now hear this.

If Mary had gone to school in more recent times, she could have brought her special interests and hobbies along with her. lf Mary had been interested in local mountain climbing or local mountain climbers, she could have joined the Alpine Club, a new organization at PV. The Chapel Club would have suited Mary just fine if she enjoyed religion and serving others like patients of the Arkansas Children's Hospital. If chess was Mary's game, she would have found some strong competition in the Chess Club which held several intra-club tournaments. If money was on Mary's mind the Class in Action Club would have kept her occupied with their many fund- raising projects, the proceeds of which went to the junior class in expectation of its becoming a senior class with many debts. Mary would probably have enjoyed having one of these clubs fill an activity period since the little lamb got s-ent home. Salespersons. For 20 cents juniors Devarati Rastogi and Cami Stiedle will sell and deliver a Christmas card to benefit the Class in Action Club. Arkansas Alplnes. The lack of altitude in the Ozarks takes away problems but leaves the fun of climbing for members of the Alpine Club. OI'Qal'tIZail0nSlACad9miCS
