Football Season is Rally Time... Every Friday during football season a pep rally is held in the auditorium, but sometimes for special games McHi’ites go all out with a bonfire and all the trim- mings. This year before the Edinburg game such an event was held. Scenes on this page give an idea of what went on. The coaches spoke, cheerleaders led cheers, the band played, students snake-danced and Mac, the mascot, sneered. The festivities almost proved successful when the Bulldogs outplayed the Bobcats the entire game only to have a last-minute Edinburg rally spoil the whole thing. 9

There Are Special Days... Beginning this year every class at McHi has a special day in its honor. On this page are scenes from Fish Day, the first and liveliest one of the year. On that day. Freshmen are subjected to all kinds of persecutions at the hands of the “mighty Seniors. Other special days are Sophomore Stampede when the Sophomores come dressed as cowboys. Junior Day when the Juniors come dressed as a comic strip character and Tommy Higgins Day when all Seniors come in the latest pajama styles. Whichever day it is, everybody in school has a good time. No cutlines seem to be necessary on this page as the pictures speak for them- selves. 8

Homecoming Festivities... Always a major event of the year at McHi is homecoming which is annually sponsored by the Senior class. This year the occasion was considered an outstand- ing success with a parade, open house, dance and a football game providing en- tertainment for the returning students. Highlight of the day was the crowning of Queen Anzaldua at right by master of ceremonies, Dillard Dean. DRAW ATTENTION—These entries in the parade drew special attention from the crowds along the way. Upper left.
