12 Homecoming!Spirit Varsity recovers at Homecoming . . . Pep rallies, mini-rallies in the cafe- teria, a chance to win district in foot- ball, a new stadium ,... all the ingredi- ents for a spirited football season. But, something was missing. Varsity's inability to reach the play- offs and new district administrative restrictions seemed to inhibit spirit. They didn't do as much as they did last year, support-wisef' senior Ricky Marshall said. For some students one reason was because we lost the first three gamesf' junior Stuart Cummings said. Attendance at pep rallies remained about the same. However, it seemed that they were there waiting for them to put on a show, not for participa- tion, cheerleader sponsor Jacqueline Davis said. Spirit reached its heighth during MacArthur and Homecoming weeks, although neither seemed as spirited as they had in the past. Students were not allowed to dress in clothes of the Twenties for Homecoming because of a new policy limiting dress-up to one day a year. The Sadie Hawkins dance in the spring seemed more appropriate for dressing up, principal Vernon Lewis said. The best part of Homecoming was winning the game, junior Gino Locas- cio said. The 14--3 victory over Bay- town Lee was the first district win for the Mustangs and was to be Lee's only district loss of the season. cont. p. 14- Lefl: Homecoming Queen Kelly Keys is crowned during halftime activities.

'FK t 5 9 ft- -irq. f'XN lm-mn1ingfSpirit but spirit doesn't Faced with problems of showing spirit without posters in all the halls, yells after roll check and dressing up, the juniors received the Pegasus award on the basis of a door decoration con- test sponsored by the Student Council. During Spirit Week students were encouraged to wear blue and white, however, few students actually got involved. The sophomores won the spirit stick for the MacArthur game. People just don't care. They donlt want to do anythingf, senior Debra Phillips said about the spirit apathy. Traditionally Spirit Week, the week of the MacArthur game, had been plagued with destruction to both schools, but the vandalism didn't occur this year. Playing the game at the new Thorne Stadium, a more neutral site than the stadium at Aldine Senior High, proba- bly helped control vandalism, Mr. Lewis said. We worked to de-emphasize the MacArthur gamef' Mr. Lewis said. We should display the same spirit toward all the schools we're playing. Spirit Week should be every week, he said.
