Victory dances, sponsored by the PTSA were the usual scene after a home ballgarne in previous years. Unfortunately, tradition was bro- ken. There were only two actual victory dances due to the change in the football schedule caused by hurricane Allen. Therefore, our ballgames were held on a Saturday afternoon at other stadiums, The usual victory dances were hin- dered, but the PTSA continued to hold other dances throughout the year, To the students these school dances were enjoyable and relax- ing.
