Thanks to the football team we didn't lose our voices completely, for as usual their power broke loose second half, mak- ing the final score 38-21. Winning that game put our mighty football team in the 4-A semifinals against Cottonwood. That meant that I got to open. Every time we passed another car full of Alta fans both cars honked and passengers yelled wildly, waving pom poms. When we reached Sandy we stopped off at McDonalds which was stuffed full with Alta supporters. Those games sure had a lot of fun accompany- ing them. They broke up the monotonous school work. Students were cov- ered with spirit items, with everything from t- shirts to paper badges. The walls of Alta were clothed in banners, and crepe paper dangled from the ceiling. Cars were painted and taped until one couldn’t tell the actu- al color of the vehicle. School spirit grew and grew. Finally school spirit had reached its peak.

We “creamed the Colts with the score 28- 14. I loved being ahead the entire game because it allowed me to relax a little and enjoy the Las Seelies march at half time. Boy did they look great! Going home after that game was wild. We had people stuffed in so much that we had to leave the hatchback we played the Olympus Titans. I, Peewee Nerdle- man, got to wear my very own Titan Buster t- shirt and attended that awesome event. I got to ride up to the game in a decorated car called the Hawkmobile. I had the best time! The fun and excite- ment of that last game made up for the loss we had of 39-13. Though we didn't win, we were still the mighty Hawks and 2nd in state. 16 State Football
