Two seniors and two sopho- mores worked a double load for 1970-71, in promoting the tre- mendous spirit heard in our halls. Each spring, the girls are elected to serve CHS and during the summer months, many hours are spent pre- paring for the year ahead. Their outright spirit was displayed during the fall and winter pep rallies. And there were the football gamesg and there was the leading of the School Song before each basketball game.

The commotion of sports par- ticipation with loyalty exhibited by the team, the individual players, and the spectators-exists only through diligence, determination, devotion, strength, skill, physical and mental preparation, and long hours of prac- tice and drill. The opening whistle is blown, the players huddle together, the touchdown pass is caught: the winning point is added, the gun is sounded, the contest ended. True school spirit is exemplified not only in victory but also in good sports- manship in competition, the athletes are the schoolis representatives, but they must be supported by faithful Tiger-backers to be successful in putting forth their best efforts and striving individually to the utmost. Tigers Move into the 1970 Season . A mere margin of only three points kept the Commerce Tigers from entering the District 15-AA throne room during the 1970 season. Commerce's only district losses were to Cooper, 21-19, and to Winnsboro, 7-6. The Tigers opened the season against the powerful Honey Grove Warriors backed by the strong run- ning of All-State runningback Harold Green. The Tigers played a strong game but went down in defeat in the last minutes, 14-13. 48 The Rockwall Yellowjackets came to Commerce the next week and defeated the Tigers by the score of 26-6. The Tigers could not mount much of an offensive threat during the game. Sulphur Springs overpowered the Tigers 20-0 in the third game for both teams. Ricky Harris and Dicky Baron put in good performances for the Tigers. The Forney Jackrabbits proved to be a little too much for the Tigers as they defeated Commerce, 34-15. Aaron Massey and Jackie Hamm had an excellent game for the Tigers. The Tigers put it Mall togetherv for the first time as they defeated Lindale 42-0. Mark Anglin and Lee Jenkins were the keys to the Tiger Victory. After the stinging Cooper defeat, the Tigers overpowered North Lamar, 62-0, as the Tigers exhibited their best offensive show ever.
