As the name implies, to be- long to Lettermen's, the student must have earned an athletic letter. The lettermen assisted in the annual PTA Carnival by Working in booths and setting up equip- ment.

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

Coach O'Connor is a major factor in the outstanding sportsmanship displayed at every game. He hasn't spared any effort to improve the team, and his work has been rewarded by an increase in team strength every year. 46 The hard direction by Coach Iman really paid off as he coached the 1963 B football squad to a successful season with no losses. This record-breaking year was the result of Coach lman's skills and techniques and the strong en- thusiasm shown by all the players.
