That hoarse and creaky voice coming from the barely moving lips of a battered teenage figure is sure to have once been strong and loud. The shoulders were once erect, the shirt uncrumpled. The face was aglow with excitement. But if only his head droops enough that he can read the lettering on his sweatshirt, his shoulders will square again his face will light, he will find enough strength left in his throat to read the words aloud: FOX HIGH THUNDERBIRDS! And that phrase is punctuated by an exclamation point because that's the way the student feels as a par- ticipant in Fox's pep club. He has just re- turned from a game. The score's not im- portantg you see, that pride is there no matter what and it symbolizes not only pride in the Thunderbirds, but in the teams, win OR lose, and in the school. Yes, a Thunderbird is a unique creation-- a person who gives his all, ANYTIME, and can still manage to straighten his back with pride with the mention of a name that really means Fox--THUNDERBIRDS! Thunderbirds-the spirit of Fox. Happy, sad, laughing, or on the verge of tears, the Thunderbirds support their team. Look at these pictures, and the contrast is evi- dent. In these photos you see your self, perhaps, as you cheered the Warriors on to victory, or saw them lose by a small margin of points. You see your friends as they share with you the joy or the sorrow. The Thunderbirds are, in deed, the spirit of Fox High School They are the people, the driving force behind the games. lu sq' ts

As the boys race down the field or court the B cheerlead- ers yell at the top of their lungs Go! Go! Go! The eight girls, four freshmen and four sopho- mores were chosen by the stu- dent body. The girls' job is to arouse school spirit at B games, and they have done an excellent job. At every game they have exhi- bited good sportsmanship and loyal support, whether the B Warriors have won or lost. Getting an early start, the girls attended a cheerleaders clinic in September to learn new routines. Lively and en- thusiastic, they generate life and enthusiasm in the fans. The Rah Rah Girls lead the fans in a rousing cheer. B Cheerleaders arouse enthusiasm for B teams. COLLEEN ADAMS, sophomore, captain, 2 letters. JACKIE BAKER, Sopho- more, co-captain, 1 letter.
