Growth of Student Body Sparks Spirit Green and white reigned throughout the year at the new Falls Church High School. Frequently the uniformed cheerleaders were seen promoting the team. Almost every week, colorful signs with catchy slogans were stuck on the athletes ' lockers to spur them on to try harder for the team. Another gimmick was the spirit rings of green yarn to remind every student of the games. Cheerleaders were helped in their quest for spirit by the Pep Club. Of all their activities, the Pep Club’s painting of teachers’ hall passes was the most impres¬ sive. Whenever a student was excused from class, the bright green and white wooden pass went with him as a symbol of spirit for the school. Joy Boys, a counterpart of the Pep Club, formed a cheering sec¬ tion at every game to give the team confidence. The Keyettes did their best by presenting a victory flag for the school. The flag, dark green with a white Jaguar leaping across it, flew whenever there was a victory. From the beginning of the year, spirit at F.C.H.S. was renowned. During Pride Week, an essay contest was held; “I’m Proud” ribbons were handed out; and students were asked to wear the school colors—all to instill pride and spirit in the student body. The first pep assembly in the huge, new gym took place at the beginning of the basketball-wrestling season and in¬ spired our teams to be first in their leagues—one of many examples showing what spirit can do. A zealous student displays his school enthusi¬ asm by donning numerous spirit rings. Through the assistance of the English classes, an essay contest on school pride proved successful. Varsity cheerleaders drive spirit deep into the souls of the FCHS spectators. 6

The new FCHS furnished a yearbook room that became engulfed with pictures, typing sheets, and layout papers within the first week of school. A change of location brought additional pri¬ vileges, including a new parking lot, built strictly for students. Change of Atmosphere Stimulates New Ideas The change brought on a liveliness. With a greater number of rooms in the new school, there was a place for each activity. The members of the Jaguar staff were allotted a small room to spread out all the lay¬ outs, photos, and copy forms. A Jaguar Hall was set aside to house the trophies of past accomplishments. In the Athletic Department, a new gym was built, twice the size of the old one. The massive hall by the new auditorium made an excellent dance floor for the winter sock hops. However, the most active of all the newly con¬ structed work rooms was 111, the famed S.C.A. room. It was a study hall for some, a place to pick up memos and footballs for others. In spite of the constant stu¬ dent traffic, the S.C.A. was able to perform their es¬ sential duties. Along with room 111, each student was familiar with the parking lot, surrounded on four- sides by a hill, the school, and fences—there was ho escaping! The new building was conducive to an atmosphere of secrecy; new places like the Jaguar Hall and the planetarium generated mystery among the students. The change of atmosphere stimulated ideas for a better school. Activities ranging from sockhops to leadership forums are scheduled and planned amidst the chaos of papers, calenders, and unapproved posters in the newly created S.C.A office. 5
