The organization responsible for the weekly bingo was the Falconeers which is the mainstay of the athletic program. In- come from the bingos helped pay for the athletic equipment and facilities used by the students. Another money-making activity of the Falconeers was the Ten Hundred Club raffle which occurs in the fall and spring of every year. Besides providing sources of revenue for the athletic department, the Falconeers also engaged in other activities. They co-spon- sored a pot luck supper held in December with the Mothers ' Club and held a Father- Son night in October when sportscaster, Bob Domine, gave an interesting and humorous talk. They also threw a steak fry in June and all the members were invited for a social evening. The officers for the 1975-1976 school year were: President, Ed King; Vice-Presi- dent, Damon Beatty; Secretary, Ken Loch- ner; and Treasurer, Jim Moreschi.

Card parties and binges d« nrc jectcrs fcctballs make | he Mothers ' Club was interested in the welfare of the students and the school. Some of their activities were conducting eye and ear examinations, holding surveys, an annual card party and a New Year ' s Eve Dance. They also held at Pot Luck Supper in con- junction with the Falconeers on December 1, 1975. The card party was held on March 19, 1976 and the proceeds went to provide things the school was not in a position to supply. An over-stocked used car lot is what the parking lot looked like on Wednesday nights. Uniformed security police helped park the visitors ' cars every week when bingo time came around. Cars started pouring into the lot around 7:00 p.m. for avid bingo players liked to come early to get their pick of the cards. MOTHERS ' CLUB OFFICERS: Bro.

Sporting one of the largest pep buttons seen around school, sophomore Kyle Patton, has a smile to match. Pep Clubprcmctes Week |he 1975-76 Pep Club was very active at the beginning of the first semester. The club elected its own officers: Tim Kannapel, President; Terry White, Vice-President, and Mike Dale, Secretary. They reinstated the use of male cheerleaders: Mike Dale, Tim Kannapel, Ralph McBarron, Duane Williams, anc. Steve Wirth to complement the new girl varsity cheerleaders from Angela Merici who moved up from J.V. cheerleader positions: Cindy Buckman, Kim Gentry, Suzanne Vogt, Joanie Grosshans, Rhonda Hartlage, Ann Hines, Shawn McClure, Barbara Moats, Gail Harris, and Cindy Wiser were new. It was their responsibility to plan and execute the pep rallies. There were several very successful ones during the football sea- son but only a few pep rallies were sched- uled for basketball. The pride and excitement of Spirit Week was traditionally carried on by the club. This was held during the week of October 6-10, 1975 prior to the Butler football game on Friday, October 10th. It replaced the tradi- tional homecoming week. It began with a rally and proceeded with a freshman get acquainted party the following night. There was a button day when all students were encouraged to wear as many spirit buttons as possible. This exemplified strong school spirit. Another event planned for this week had to be cancelled — the annual bon fire and pep rally. Because of the troubles in south- west Jefferson County due to busing, local authorities said outsiders might be tempted to come and cause trouble so they banned the bon fire. Friday, October 10, 1975, the culmina- tion of the week, was black and white day. Students were asked to wear anything black and white to show school unity. Later in the afternoon, students held a spirit pep rally, crowned a spirit queen, Cheryl Thompson, during half time at the Butler game, and held a dance afterwards. The dance was not very well attended and most club members were disappointed. The club spent the rest of the year selling buttons prior to the basketball games but much of the enthusiasm they had at the beginning was lost towards the end of the year.
