The Finishing Touch — Cliff Roberts places the finishing touches on a giant Snoopy. The Snoopy was used as a decoration for the Annual Friendship ban- quet which is held on the eve of the Sherman-Deni-son game for the Student Councils from both schools. Spirits Rise for Sherman Sherman Week was a spirited success whooping up the Jackets with a bonfire and the Main Street pep rally. Cheerleaders led yells on the downtown streets then led Jacket fans to the bonfire at the high school. Flames rose to the dark sky as the band played, cheerleaders chanted and fans joined the clamor urging the Jackets to “Beat the Bearcats’’ and shouting “We Want The Axe Back!” Hats Off To The Jackets — Laura Beth McKinzie, Ginger Toney, Mark Marshal, Shane Nassoy and Cornell Springfield showed their spirit and their hats in observance of Hats Off Day. 14 — Activities
