Rallies Also Amuse Colt cheerleaders Sharon Ward, Debbie Harlow, Karen Jessup, Janette Hayden, Melissa Hundt, Cathy Self, and Kathy Keeton, quickly learned the neces- sity of versatility in their posts. In addition to writ- ing skits, working up pom-pom routines, and plan- ning pep rallies, they held poster parties, made signs supporting the team, decorated goal posts, and made midnight journeys to distribute signs to the front yards of the football players. After each home game they sponsored a dance to promote school spirit. The profits made from these dances and from ribbon and pennant sales were placed in a fund to help finance the annual trip to the SMU Cheerlead- ing Clinic. Sponsoring the ’67-’68 squad was Mrs. Margie Austin. She approved pep rallies, organized dances, handled financial business, and took the respon- sibility of providing transportation to all out-of- town football games. She also helped to plan and to decorate for the annual Colt Football Banquet held at the end of the year. “Now I lay me down to sleep—please don’t let her spit on me!” “I bet those toad eyes will do the job. gloat the cheerleaders at a football pep rally as they mix a brew to bolster Colt spirit. 21

October was a month packed with excitement and busy activities. The National Merit Scholarship Semi- finalist was announced, and Lark Lands gladly re- ceived that honor. Homecoming fell on October 20, bringing with it excitement and traditional royalty. At the pep rally Homecoming morning, Tommy Thornton and Karen Jessup were announced as Mr. and Miss School Spirit. There was a hush just before Carmen Self was announced Homecoming Queen of 1967 during the halftime ceremonies of the game that night. The annual Package Plan Assembly was pre- sented through the joint effort of the COLT COR- RAL and Colt newspaper staffs. The program in- cluded skits from all periods of time from Tarzan and Jane to the Age of the Hippies, encouraging one and all to purchase a newspaper-yearbook package plan. Tarzan and Jane swing into Hippicland during the Package Plan assembly promoting sales of the publication package. 23
