This year everyone possessed a Fri- day Night Fever, and the tempera- ture of some fifteen-hundred fans soared when led by the cheerleaders and the pep squad. Throughout each sports season, the award-winning Callaway cheer- leaders instigated the cheering in the pep rallies and at the ball games. They directed the yelling of enthusi- astic fans into chants and cheers to inspire the teams. These spirited souls also spent their time making signs for the gym and bleachers and selling ribbons, buttons, and other gadgets that stuck in or on anyone with cents. The pep squad, brimming with rhythm and soul, developed a sensa- tion all its own. These individuals ad- ded that extra touch to the pep ral- lies and games with their pulsating beats and newfangled dances. Many days during sixth period and after school, the sound of loud shouts and rhythmic claps resounded through Callaway ' s halls and patio. Pep squad members, with pompoms on their shoes and rhythm in their souls, brought life to the daily routine at Callaway. WE ' RE NO. ONE. Rosemary Jackson and Janice Smith cheer at the football game.

THE CALLAWAY CHARGE — The thrust behind the mighty Chargers that gave them the power to do their best. Whether it involved football, golf, baseball, soccer, basketball, track, or soft- ball, the members of these teams contributed time, ener- gy, and team effort in order to make the sports year a success. This year ' s Chargers inherited their winning reputation and maintained it in the 1978-1979 school year. The year began with the successful base- ball season in the spring of 1978. This team boasted a 18-8 winning record. The Callaway golfers teed off and kept their record up to par. Track, also a spring sport, got to a running start as the girls and boys showed their agile grace on the track. With the start of the new school year, the football team at- tained the title of City Champs and the females electrified the year with a winning season in softball. As the season changed, the sport changed with it. Next, the basketball team shot into action as the players sparked energy and excitement into those cold winter nights. Soccer players, kicking, hitting, and run- ning, wore themselves out protecting their home goal and record. The winning records, although very impressive, only told half of the sto- ry. The long hours of after school practices provided discipline that made the Callaway teams able to face their few defeats and their toughest rivals. Winter turned to spring and the nonending cycle be- gan again. Thus, Callaway boasted a sport for every season and a great team for every sport. But most of all the teams boasted the spirit of THE CALLAWAY CHARGE. I ' M TIRED OF BEING KICKED AROUND. Judson Chastain and Alan Perry disagree on who will kick the ball. 62 Sports Division
