Stick a tie day? ... No, Mr. Banner's spirit seems to be “‘sticking out.”’ Feet stompin’, voices cheering, hearts pounding, the football team strutted out of the Devil’s Den to the football field in front of their most loyal and devoted fans. This spirit led the football team to district championship and regional playoffs. Fans followed the season right into basketball. The fans went with them everywhere from Honaker, Holston, and Rural Retreat to Floyd County. On selected Fridays, the gym would be packed with students to pep up the teams by screaming and fighting for the spfrit stick. Then each game night, the stands would be jammed with loyal Devil supporters. The cheerleaders, mini-cheerleaders, band, and mini-majorettes boosted the crowd’s and team’s spirit each week. Homecoming week was spirit week. Each day was celebrated in a different way. Monday was “hat day”. Everything was seen — from beanies to cowboy hats. On Tuesday, white shirts were worn and autographed. Wednesday was “Fifties Day” when the greased hair, saddle oxfords, and bobbie socks came back in style. Mix and match day was observed Thursday. This was the “anything goes’ day when combinations of plaid, polka dots, and pinstripes were fashionable. The final day was observed by wearing all blue and white. This is the week when everybody got a chance to show their spirit. The Forensics Team and various clubs and organizations have participated in district, regional, and state competitions. The ecstasy of the student body has followed the teams even when they could not be present to show it. With spring fever came the joyous triumphs of the track, tennis, and baseball teams shared by the entire school. Victory became greater while the agony of defeat became less harsh with the support of fans. Spirit was the common factor of each of these events — from the beginning of school to the end. However; there is something more impor- tant than fans — the participants of the events. The dedication, strife, practice, and spirit the members of all these teams possess made possi- . Pee ble the wonderful victories and even the Pore Pers er MA anes pars defeats, but most of all, the fun had by all. With halftime Obleh cc aed arte Seas ek! the fans and individual players’ support, the not- so-good teams turn out to be winning teams. It is together that we, in spirit, can succeed. 8

In Every Facet o Homecoming, We Proved .. . AES Ys Safari hunt... Coach Burke stalks his plays. Oh! my hair is frizzy. Please don’t let it rain. Mom! where are my hose? It’s almost time to leave. These are just some of the last minute jitters an attendant undergoes. Anticipation would be a good word to describe homecom- ing week. Athletes are bragging about an easy win. ‘We're go- ing to cream’em” is often heard throughout the halls. The moment we've all waited for comes with the halftime Lisa Dingus prepares to strut her stuff for the festivities. Seniors and Sophomores split top honors for first homecoming crowd. place in the float competition with the Freshman and Eighth grades receiving second and third respectively. When the announcer came over the P.A. system and an- nounced Miss Ellen Minahan as the new queen she looked shocked, but, definitely, very happily shocked. Oh, when the Saints come marching in... Peanut Phillips gives the impression of having everything well in hand. 10
