Morning pep rallies for the football team get everyone in an uproar as students, faculty, band and team members take part. A teammate yells from the sidelines. Dressed in overalls and a straw hat, Cathy Crisp watches activities on stage. Although the school song is sung by many, only a few know all the words. Along with the red, white and blue, Coronado's victory flag blows proudly in the wind.
