Window Spirit — Signs in the art room display window spread Jacket spirit. Throughout the halls signs, decorations and smiles worked to raise the Jackets' S. Q. (spirit quotient). Jackets 'Observe' Sherman Week Jacket fans prepared for Sherman by having a Sherman Week Schedule. Monday was ‘‘Suspend Sherman Day” and students wore suspenders. Tuesday was ‘‘Hats Off To The Jackets Day” and everyone wore a hat to tip to the football team indicating support. Students shed their shoes for ‘‘Sock It To Sherman Day” Wednesday and wore overalls Thursday for ‘‘Overall Spirit Day.” Friday was Black and Gold Day and everyone wore school colors. Sign Up For Spirit — After many hours of hard work, the Sophomores, juniors, and Seniors raised their spirit along with their class signs made from sheets sewed together and painted with slogans. Suspend the Cats — Shannon Alexander and Shell Jones showed spirit by suspending the Bearcats as well as their pants. Activities — 15

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

PTA Hosts Open House Parents followed their student’s school schedule for abbreviated class visits at PTA Open House October 8. Parents and teachers were greeted by Student Council members who signed up PTA members and served as guides. The schedule was just like a school day except for tardy bells and lunch. Going from class to class was confusing for some parents but they were aided by student council members. They had five minutes in each class to get acquainted with the teachers. In the classrooms, they discussed the course and were even interrupted by announcements just to make them feel like regular students. After sixth period, school was out. The Student Council sponsored a reception for teachers as they returned school. Honors Biology — Mr. John Terry, department chairman and biology teacher discussed course goals and activities with interested parents. Money, Money, Money — Mrs. Barbara Svane gives the finance report while PTA president Mrs. Virginia Rushing conducts the first meeting of the year. Rapt Attention — Parents attending PTA Open House listen to the teacher outline courses and activities. 16 — Activities
