86 GAME DAYS Frida in the fall full of show time by Annie Estill When the students drove up to the park- ing lot, they knew it was a game day. Highsteppers came stumbling in, hair still in curlers, dragging thier loaded down hanging bags through the hall. As the band awaited on the practice field for their 7:30 a.m. practice, they are hoping for the clouds to stay away, because on Homecoming day, the band and Highstep- pers were out practicing when it began to rain. Most of the band members then spent most of the morning cleaning up their shoes, which were covered with mud, Cheerleaders Annie Estill, Laurie Foster, Belinda Goodman, julie McBride, Cindi McMullin, Pam Rodriguez, Lisa Rolader, and Tammy Simmons spent Friday morn- ings pulling out bleachers, putting up posters, and practicing cheers and dances which were to be used for the 8:30 pep rally. TGIF After the pep rally the posters were taken out of the gym and were put up at the stadium. The newly formed Yellraisers with cap- tains Rene Keating and Peggy Britt con- tributed to the hustle and bustle by decorating the fieldhouse with crepe paper and putting up posters. As the ROTC cadets escorted the band and Highsteppers down the hill, the trainers loaded their golf cart, which was used for carrying their essential equipment -A two medical kits, stretcher, water jugs, game balls, head phones, towels, and extra foot- ball equipment. Usually the football teams went through their drills in stretching, and form running about an hour before the game commenced. The team was then instructed to break up in- to their groups to continue their agility drills then through offensive plays. The game started with the colorguard prayer followed by the two schools' alma maters. With the feeling of competition in the air drill teams and bands performed during halftime as the crowd anticipated the return ofthe team. However, after all the work was perform- ed, the leaders of the band - Majors - Keith Hughes, Gary Osborne, President - Doug Renfro, Vice-President - Mike Porter, Treasurer - Allan Eckert, and Secretary - LaVon Howard and the leaders of the Highsteppers A Captain - Deborah Finstad, and Lieutenants - Cindy Sutherland, Carol Sanderson, Vicki Bohan- non, Melanie Nowell, Michelle Maxwell, and Tammy Wodell all greeted the opposing leaders and wished them good lucki, O-W af iii
