The Race Is on Through rain and sleet and Texas heat- wave the Patriots make it to school. Most of the juniors and seniors, and a few of the sophomores, join the daily drag race to and from school in their own cars. The casualties are seen pulled over on the side of Rowlett Road and being handed pink tickets to appear at the court house in downtown Garland. Parking has gone up this year, it now costs 256 to join Lakeview Centennial's daily game of bumper cars. What goes into the parking lot must come out. Right? Wrong. Flat tires, dead batteries, and empty gas tanks dot the horizon at the end of the school day. Sometimes these sickies are revived and manage to roll out of the parking lot, Others are merely abandoned, their engines bleached white by the hot Texas sun. For those poor unfortunates who can- not participate in the parking crunch there are the old stand-bys - parents, buses, bicycles, and feet.

Pep Rallies Highlight Week Friday begins with students arriving early to purchase tickets. There is a special feeling in the air enhanced by the weekend and activity schedule. But the special coming excitement is caused primarily by the afternoon pep rally. Many groups combine to make the pep rally a special event. Enthusiasm and spirit build as the Varsity football team enters to the Patriot Fight Song. Cheerleaders lead the student body in class chants and cheering competitions. Cheerleaders also perform skits or host contests between the classes. Select groups of the Sweethearts perform. The Liberty Dolls, Flag Corps, Rifle Corps, and Twirlers also share the spotlight on Fridays. Each group has a chance to entertain the students to the music of the Patriot Marching Band. During football season, the pep rallies soon became the highlight of the week. Everyone looks forward to the special afternoon event which caps off the day.
