PEP BAND Spirit Makers Rally To Lend Tlieir Support The rally squads and pep band of MHS attended sporting events and lent their support to the White Buffaloes. Win or lose, the cheerleaders were behind the home team all the way. Varsity cheerleaders, Penny DuPont, Yolanda Leal, Cecelia Webb, Terri York and Paula Houck, travelled with the varsity teams, planned pep assemblies and made spirit posters, along with encouraging the student body to attend the games. School spirit came alive when the varsity basketball team nearly earned a state tournament berth. Leanna Freeman, Tammy Adkins, Kelli Thomas, and Susan McFarland, junior varsity rally members, represented the sophomore teams. These games, along with football, totalled approximately 45 games attended by these cheerleaders. Freshman cheerleaders were Julie Dendauw, Molly Davis, Lynn Douglass and Rose Ann Graham.

The MHS pep band, under the direction of Deane Jolstead, encouraged spirit by playing fight songs and popular tunes at pep assemblies and home games. Due to lack of time and money, the pep band was unable to attend all of the away games, but they made several road trips to the most important games. Practices were held a couple of times a week to prepare them for their performances each weekend. 18

Lil’ Abners Surrender To Night Of Female Rule On the night of November 9, man-hungry females dragged their dates to the annual Sadie Hawkins dance. The week prior to the dance was set aside for Daisy Maes to “tag” their Lil’ Abners whom they then waited on by opening doors, carrying books and walking them to class. Marriage rings and vows were exchanged under the lawful authority of Marry’n Sam, Max Duffy. ABOVE: An unknown foot is measured for admission into the dance. The girls paid 30 cents per inch of the boys’ foot. ABOVE RIGHT: Senior Clyde Fladwood takes a breath before devouring the rest of his pie in the contest. RIGHT: “Lil’ Abner,” Tom Raburn, and “Daisy Mae, Teresa Tompsett, illustrate authentic dog-patch dress. 20 A three-legged race and a pieeating contest were held. Mark Eades, junior, inhaled his pie first, and sophomores Melanee Boggs and Craig Fleshman crossed the finish line first in the three-legged race. The women were required to pay 30 cents per inch of their dates’ foot. MHS graduate Joe Endres won the prize for the biggest foot and junior Don Smith was the proud owner of the smallest feet. The annual Sadie Hawkins dance was sponsored by the Future Homemakers of America. They spent the day arranging corn stalks, hay bales, murals, and a tunnel of love in the cafeteria. They made a profit of $36.68. Rising Tide, a popular band, was hired to provide the music. At the stroke of midnight couples left Dogpatch, U.S.A. to return to normal life.
