YOU ARE CORDIALLY INVITED TO A Manager Angela Caskey takes Brian Puryear a quick sip of water during a time out. The football players take a break during a time out. Pep rallies during the various seasons provided an outlet for school spirit as well as class rivalries. Student support played an important role in the teams' attitude toward the game's outcome. Through victory or defeat, the student body was always ready to cheer the teams on to the next challenge. The fans, led by the cheerleaders, clapped to the beat of the pep band. The enthusiasm of the students made the school day easier to endure, and the game exciting. It also let out a lot of frustration because each student could get in the gym with 1500 other students and yell, scream, and blow a whistle as loud as possible. Various noise makers, such as cow bells, whistles, tamborines, and symbols, were added to the fun. Some students even spent their first hour class cutting confetti for the pep session after homeroom. Although the confetti was lots of fun to throw, it wasn't so much fun to clean up. VICTOR Y 10 Student Life

A TIME TO LOOK FOR WARD Governor John Y. Brown made a visit to Madisonville in the early fall to dedicate the new underground mine safety building at the vocational school and to visit the addition to the Madisonville Community College. The North Hopkins Stage Band was at M.C.C. to be a part of the celebration dedication. Winter crept upon us rather quickly and most students stayed inside and tried to keep warm by their electric blanket or another person. Student life 9
