The some old spirit The football game played against cross-town rival Ston- ewall Jackson has in many ways been a tradition carried on for years. As always, the week before the game was designated as spirit week. In order to show support for the team, students dressed up in unusual costumes on certain days. On Monday many displayed hats and ties in an effort to get spirit flowing. The rest of the week was filled with togas, punk rockers, slaves, and beebop- persii from the 50is. Friday was blue and gold day and also the day of the game. A pep assembly was held in which students whistled, cheered and support for roared their the 2WStudent Life Lions. One cheerleader said, At the game there seemed to be an unrestrained sense of spirit and enthusiasm. During the pre-game show, senior band members were in- troduced to the spectators and escorted onto the field by their parents. During half time, the winner of the spirit chain was an- nounced. Though they collected money for a week, the cheer- leaders lost the competition by just under $100. After a performance from the band and majorettes, Laura Burgess was named Miss Mt. Lion and Bonnie Hightower and Sherry Smith were an- nounced as runners-up. AT THE FRONT OF THE STANDS.
