THE GAMES Games invite much interest. Mr. Webster describes game as (l)n. a sport, (2)n. an animal, (3)n. a trick or strategy, (4)adj. lame, (5)v. act ac- cording to the rules, (6)v. have fighting spirit and pluck, (7)n. amusement. Callaway showed the true mean- ings of the word game during the football season. The sport of hunt- ing immersed itself in the scene as 22 sportsmen pursued a pigskin ball. The quarterback often found himself game also. The coaches and players used every trick and stra- tegy to insure that the game neither became snared nor acquired a game leg. Referees, in accordance with the rules, attempted to prevent game legs too. They demanded that all play the game. On the sidelines, the cheerleaders and the pep squad were game also. They instilled their fighting spirit in the crowds with compara- tive ease. Other groups on the side- lines advanced to the fields and provided amusement. The au- dience, however, always won the game regardless of the score. With no extra effort the audience was al- lowed to witness all the entertain- ment comprehendible in one even- ing. For hours on end they were entertained by the game. I bet you never knew how gamesome games could be. Pretty maids all in a row. The Chargettes execute another flawless routine during halftime. Their entertaining performances provided a lovely touch to the night ' s game. What ' s happening? Students avidly watch the progression of the game. Their support during the game helped team moral throughout the season.

THE GAMES. Mission: Take an ordinary Friday, October 17, and transform it into a spectacular Homecoming. Accomplices: Thirteen maids with escorts, an enthusiastic band, and a ready-to-win football team. This situation grew into Callaway ' s big fall mission. Homecoming. The first meeting of the accomplices took place in Callaway ' s gymna- sium at 10:00 A.M. Each maid grabbed the center spotlight as she walked down the plant-lined path to the soft music of the band. The most important event of the day began at 7:00 P.M. As the song What I Did For Love echoed through the stadium, the maids walked down an aisle formed by ' Chargettes and band members. Newell field took on a new appear- ance because the maids added a flare as beautiful as a spring bou- quet. Excitement mounted when the row of maids awaited the big announcement. The name echoed throughout the stadium as Benny Chisholm announced the Home- coming Queen, Susan Smith. Crowned by last year ' s queen, Ruth McLeod, Susan graciously took her reign. After this spectacular pre-game show, the Mighty Chargers topped the night as they stuck once again and won the game. Then came the celebration! With a student body as party hardy as Callaway ' s, this part of the mission attained a high rating easily. The National Guard Armory housed these accomplices as Freedom entertained with their electrifying sounds from 10:00 P.M. to 1:00 A.M. Mission Accomplished: Callaway outdid the professionals in earring out its assignment and every one rated the day as excellent.
