Once again the Haltom-Richland game approached. As the last game of the football season arrived, We were alive with spirit Coloring the moonlit sky, orange and black helium balloons, released by the Buff- backers, and a buster poster reading 'iGag me with a Rebel rallied the excited crowd for the second half of the Haltom-Richland football game. Various activities were scheduled and excitement rang throughout the halls during the week preceding the game. But with all the anticipation and preparation, Haltom still lost their final game of the season 10-6. To spark Buff spiritf' dress-up days were sponsored throughout the week by the Student Council. They were Hlnside OutfBackward Day , i'Western Day, i'Overall Spirit,', Punk vs. Preppy and Double your Spirit . As the week came to a close, the students and faculty showed their enthusiasm for the game first in the impromptu morning pep rally in the foyer and later in the afternoon pep rally in the gym. I thought the Richland pep rally was the best one I'd ever been to, Patricia Balderas, junior, said. The cheerleaders hung posters throughout the building and the Student Council sold black and orange derby hats and balloons. A banner saying Buffalo Country, made by Diana McGill, senior, hung over Haltom's press box at the game. During halftime, the band, along with various organizations and individuals, repeated for the second year the 'iCircus Showf' The show represented a three-ring circus with gymnasts, clowns, a twirler and many other acts. I think Richland week was less violent and the rivalry is dying down, Bubba Daniels, senior, said. Coach George Caddell said, We try to approach each game the same and the special activities are good for the students, but not for athletes. 'LAll of the students were really enthused, Myra lVlcCurry, junior, said. The Richland game is kind of the climax of the first half of the year, lt seems like the whole year leads up to it, Junior Teresa Simmons said. The playing of the Alma Mater is the traditional way of ending all pep rallies. As the end of the Richland pep rally neared, all joined in to sing this song. 16 Richland Week ifigst. A new addition by the cheerleaders was the spelling of the letters H.H.S. by laying in formation. Determined to up the score, Chris Coffey, junior, runs a play against Richland.
