Afowdq, Wan - 1411- Friendliness prevailed the week of September 30- October 5, as eager students enjoyed the annual Howdy Week at Stephen F. Austin High School. A cluster of students writing frantically in Howdy Books was a familiar sight in the halls, and many new friends were made with the help of the Howdy Tags for identification. Anticipation was high as everyone anxi- ously awaited the choice of the friendliest boy and girl. The weekis festivities were climaxed with an after- game dance held in the gym. The Social Committee worked hard on the decorations, which featured nets draped across the east side of the gym with fish and other water animals caught in them to emphasize the Marine Life theme of the week. Students came from far and wide to enjoy dancing, the fine entertainment, and the crowning of the friend- liest boy and girl. From the finalists-Sandra Lung, Susie Snowden, Robert Frias, and Mike Cotten-Sandra Lung and Mike Cotten received the honors. They were pre- sented with sterling silver identification bracelets with Friendliest ,57', engraved on the front and their names on the back. Providing entertainment was a singing group called the Corvettes, which included Dan Showalter, Frank Neve, Lee Mayfield, and Dick Gustafson. The Three Spades from McCallum, with Joyce Webb, SFA senior and recording artist, sang numbers, also. DECORATING THE GYM to carry out the Marine Life theme for the Howdy Dance are Social Committee members Billy McCaleb, Alice Ad rms Eleanor Tyler, and Ann Chiles.

Climaxing the week was the Maroon vs. Temple foot- ball game. To lift the spirits of the team, the student body sent them a thirty-foot Spirit-O-Cram with over 800 names on it. The pep rally held in the gym on the Friday morning preceding the game was the best of the year. It featured Coach Jim Tolbert and one of his outstanding pep talks. With the students singing Loyal F oreverv the spirit famous at Austin High was at its highest peak. nik 10 I Q , Q '. f 'L llOh1ECON1fNC QUEEN NOMINEES-Janice Johnson, K'fK- ', 'H., ' S'h, dCll MAROON FOOTBALL HERO Don Jester unrolls the thirty-foot long Nlagodsgyiurlifake Jsigretteyniglilctufgyiiea nrgiff col1':ertibl,e.een Spirit-O-Cram to discover over eight-hundred names of Austin High students inscribed upon it. 12 4. .
