Seniors win Spirit contest Homecoming Spirit Week brought out lots of Mustang support. Dress contests were held daily and the girls even suffered through a Mr. Irresistible contest. All students and teachers enjoyed dressing up in clown suits, cowboy hats, bandages, and 50's outfits. The Senior class won the overall spirit contest by tallying more points in the daily contests than any other class. A big pep rally held the night before Homecoming prepared all the fans for the big game. All four cheerleader squads participated. Jesse Munn and Carole Holland were voted Mr. and Ms. Spirit by the student body. Following the pep rally Mr. and Ms. Spirit lit the giant bonfire. The Lavaca Golden Arrows were actually burned that night; paper arrows were thrown in the fire by the fans. A parade through downtown Perryville completed the pep rally. The Mustangs lost a squeaker to Lavaca. PHS led in the fourth quarter, but Lavaca regained its strength and sneaked by the Mustangs 9-8. The Homecoming Dance, sponsored by the Junior class, seemed to liven everyone's spirits.

Odds defeat Evens At Powderpuff Powderpuff football quickly became a favorite new sport at PHS this year. It all began with a powderpuff game sponsored by the cheerleaders. The girls' Odd team (grades 7, 9, 11) triumphed over the Even team (grades 8, 10, 12) by a score of 18-8. Learning all the rules of football proved to be difficult for the girls. The Even team experienced the most problems. They racked up more yardage in penalties than they did running the ball. In the pregame activities seven of the loveliest girls in PHS were honored as the Powderpuff Royalty. Football players, serving as the royalty, were escorted by football cheerleaders. Other football players served as cheerleaders. 24
