Football Pepfests Boost FL Morale Crackling sounds could be heard as many FLHS students shuffled through the newly fallen leaves on their way to school. Many returning Rangers seemed apathetic about the first day of school, but the newly arrived sophomores were extremely uneasy about the beginning of their years in the senior high. Fall was also the season of football games, chilly weather and sock hops. The first dance of the year, sponsored by the BREEZE, was enthusi- astically attended. Frequently scheduled pepfests also gave a boost to our school morale and helped instill self-confidence in our enthusiastic Ranger players and fans. The annual wildlife dinner was held the six- teenth of November and was attended by Mr. Harper's biology students and their guests. Several weeks before, students prepared for the dinner by gathering wild game and other deli- cacies to be cooked.

Gals Sink in Mud for Homecoming “Devalue Cent-ennial” inspired many students to join in the events of Homecoming week. The week began with the wearing of school colors. On Tuesday the gym was crowded with students who watched the crowning of king Wayne Hamil- ton and queen Donna Spetz who reigned over the remaining events of the week. The newest event saw the senior girls defeat the junior girls 12-0 in powder puff football in a cold drizzling rain. Halftime was highlighted by the sophomores' hilarious show. The game was fol- lowed by a hot dog party attended by many soggy students. Classes and organizations showed their talents at Thursday's skit night. Then the student body joined the cheerleaders and royalty in the snake dance around the school to the parking lot to smash an effigy of a Chief. The winning skit of the Shorthand II class and the Speech Choir’s honorary cheer were given at the pepfest on Friday. That night, despite a determined attitude for victory, the crowd watched as the Rangers were unable to surpass the Centennial Chiefs. On Saturday night one of the best attended Homecoming dances was held in the Forest View Elementary School. Amid decorations of maroon and gold, students danced to the musical sound of SASSAFRAS.
