As recreation co-chairmen, Nancy Coats and Cray Teekeli were in charge of the hanners. decorations, and activities for the day. Go West Day, sponsored by the Student Council, boosted school spirit and spurred the team on to vic- tory. All students dressed in western attire, and the cafeteria looked like an old western town contain- ing jails, stables, a hotel, and a saloon. During the lunch shifts, lemonade and suckers were served to the students in the Golden Slipper Saloon with western music played by Danny Booras. Prizes for the hest-dressed students and teachers were awarded. The winners of the students’ awards were Sharon Traylor and Charles Lindenmayer while Miss Shirley McNeel and Mr. James Rife won the awards for the teachers. The theme of Go West Day this year, “How The West Was Won,” was well carried out through the many posters and banners displayed in the halls. Some of the posters depicted the faces of the senior football players. The corral in the front hall did a good business all day by selling western supplies, while Fort Byrd, in front of the school served to scare off any Indians considering an at- tack. As a result of the tremendous amount of spirit created by Go West Day, the great Jacket team pulled through with a 20-14 victory over Fair Park in the game played in the State Fair Stadium. GO WEST DAY Spirit Resulted in Victory The cafeteria looked like an old western town, and all the students enjoyed the 9hows and refreshments provided at lunch. Cheering students encourage spirit in a pep rally held in the park ing lot before school.
