Rachel, who played Hermia, said after- wards, We had a lot of fun putting it on. even though it was hard work. Then along came Halloween, This is the annual time of year when people are bom- barded by both big and little kids begging for treats. The rather large area surrounding Colt Country offered a large selection of haunted houses with at which to get scared silly, and the senior class offered a Hallo- ween dance for those less brave. ACTIVITIES 23 The month of October not only brought with it the usual stuff — autumn, Hallo- ween, first report cards — but it also brought a variety of stuff for people to do to stay out of trouble. First of all, there were football games and pep rallies. The pep rallies gave people a reason to get up on Friday mornings, and the football games gave them a reason to get out of the house on Friday nights. The pep rallies got the blood pumpin’ and the games kept it movin’, whether the Colts won or lost. Then along came the play. On the even- ing of Oct. 30 and the afternoon and even- ing of Nov. 1, the drama department staged Shakespeare’s comedy, “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.” Comedy was the right word for it. Bet- ween Helena’s being dragged all over town trying to gain Demetrius’ affections and the Craftsmen’s interesting performance, the audience never stopped laughing. And then there was the little nutcake called Puck. MduMcOuiay MlW McOuUy M.k« M C ut«y F lair for dramatics

H « M C»uVy Autumn festivities Activity-filled November commands attention Ever notice how no one ever really notices the coming of November? And even when they do notice, they usually see it as part of the blur leading from the Hallo- ween — uh — festivities to the Christmas •• festivities. Yet while it’s happening, people stand up and take notice. For example, Colts noticed Spirit Week. This pre-Lamar game celebration gave the Colts yet another chance to show off that winning spirit as only they can. The week con- sisted of days such as “Beach Lamar” day, which called for beach attire, and No Sweat Lamar day, which meant sweats of all sizes, shapes, and colors. Friday of Spirit Week brought the hall decorating contest. Each class got a hall and had to decorate it spiritedly. The sophomores had the back hall, and decorated it as “A Colt Heaven.” The senior class got the ever- congested middle hall and decorated it in the theme “Rock-n-Roll Over Lamar,” and featured a barrage of musical notes and record- shangin’ all over the place. The junior class, with the theme “Colt Classic” overflowing from the front hall, won the contest. Their hallway assaulted the eyes with all kinds of green and white Colt cans and green and white waves everywhere. People also noticed the choir Jamboree. This annual variety show drew large crowds to a massively festive salute to Texas for its 150th birthday. The choir entertained the audience to a big night of singing and dancing. Cap and gown orders also came to the atten- tion of the Colts. The senior class paid their bucks and put in their orders for those funny- looking square caps and the long, flowing white robes that would later help symbolize twelve long years of hard work. The Colts also made themselves aware of the annual senior magazine sales. Only the seniors sold them, but they made especially sure no one felt left out by using such phrases as, “Would you like to buy a magazine subscription?” After the end of the sales, they (whoever they are) announced the name of the top selling senior. Ginger Prickitt. In an incredible attempt to draw some atten- tion to themselves, the yearbook staff took orders for annuals. The result? Well, you’re holding one right now, so we must’ve sold a few. Proud to be Colts, the varsity football team jams down the senior class's musical center hallway. 24 ACTIVITIES
