Rallies Rated 'Ga For Great Only one word could describe the Bulldog pep rallies - great. No longer were they just an excuse to get out of class early on Friday, but they were forty-five minutes filled with spirit-raising entertainment. Along with the tra- ditional cheers and chants, pep rallies were highlighted by skits from various departments at CHS. Skits ranging from the choir's monster mash to the homemaking style show were thoroughly enjoyed by the student body. Although students were active participants, the faculty played a major role in building spirit. Without the teachers' con- tribution of their time and effort, the after-school specials would not have been as enjoyable. Doing foolish skits and accepting pie in the face, the spirited teachers of CHS made pep rallies something that would not be soon forgotten. The fact that students rose to their feet on several occasions was evi- dence of the student appreciation for their teachers' enthusiasm. At the end of every pep rally there was a smile on everyone's face and a hope in their heart for a victory later that night. l.

Faith For First Place Fades Into Frustration Frustration was seen in the eyes of a pack of dedicated Bulldogs as their hope for another outstanding season didn't materialize. After two consecutive years of claiming the district crown, the Dogs had the ability and desire to do it again. To be prepared for the district contenders, the Bulldogs had to build their team in non-district games. The Bulldogs' non-district schedule was challenging even before the first game was played. Carthage had to brace themselves to play teams such as Marshall and Dallas Jesuit, both 5-A teams. After beating Atlanta in the last non-district game, the race for the title was soon to begin. The Car- thage Bulldogs were ready to claim the championship, however, five other teams with the same goal stood in their way. Winning just two of the five district games, the ambition of the Bulldogs was not fulfilled due in part to the team's inability to capitalize on key opportunities. However, the fact that 12 play- ers of the Bulldog line-up made the South Zone All-District team was evidence of the team's ability and desire to win. Selected for the first team were Brad Wisener, defensive linebacker, Gary Payne, right tackle, Jimmy Blissett, right end, and Gene Lawhorn, right halfback. The second team mem- bers chosen from Carthage were Ron Clinton, defensive tackle, Hewitt Deramus, defensive line- backer, Richy Wall, safety, Rob- ert Browning, center, and Robert Hardy, left halfback. Receiving honorable mention were Doug Stokes, defensive guard, and Tony Brown, defensive tackle. 20 f Football Scoreboard CHS OPPONENT 7 37 Marshall 21 I9 Dallas Jesuit 26 7 San Augustine 20 20 Liberty-Eylau 13 7 Atlanta 7 14 Jacksonville' 13 7 Chapel Hill' 0 22 Kilgore' 15 13 Palestine' 6 21 Henderson' 'District Games Al
