Booster Club Shows Spirit This year. Booster Club had two new sponsors—coaches Dave Conrad and Dave Omer. It seemed to benefit both the club and the teams to have the coaches in- volved with Booster Club. Spirit was lifted by the “jive” dancing of Mark Hall. Modeled after “Dancing Harry” of the Pacers, Mark pepped up the fans by dancing to his theme song “Rock Around the Clock.” “Dancing Hall” stunned the other teams with the “whammy” he put on them. As usual, spirit was high during sectio- nal week. To keep the spirit high, the week was full of “spirit days.” On Monday the old tradition of “Hush Day” was brought back into use. The girls were not to talk to any boys. If a boy succeeded in making a girl talk, he took her “Hush Card.” Spirit peaked on Friday with “ ’50’s Day.” Everyone enjoyed bringing back the “bobbv-soxers” and “greasers” of the 1950s.
