They were a lot of fun anyway, We yelled for tennis and the teams that win a little more often. I think they were so .much fun just because everyone was so crazy. The freshmen won the spirit stick and the Rams won the game 16-O, , Perhaps the most controversial rally was the one against Reagan. Baby Blue is for Baby Boys and Rattle the Raiders were both heard constanhy during pre-game week. For the pep-rally everyone was to dress up like little kids and bring their rattles.

'tl was dressed like a tomboy with freckles, a baseball hat, a mitt, my pants rolled up and my hair in pigtails. Miss Agnor saw me and told me to wash my face, put my hat and mitt in my locker and roll down my pants. The only thing she let me i keep was my pigtails. lt really made me mad. They said we could do it - what was wrong with it? Continued on page 142 spirit 0 DIFFERENT PROPS used each week for the cheerleaders were handled by the Lairds.

The noise, the au the fun K Continued from page 121 commented Tina Lilley. The juniors won the spirit stick but the con- troversy and the rally were more exciting than the game, as the Knights fell again 31-O. Seniors wore their hats again to Maroon the Maroonsf' Spirit was starting to run high again in an- . tlcipation ot Homecoming. The sophomores and the seniors tied for the spirit stick but, predictably, Mac .Seyed behind 35-o. Then it was Homecoming. Each class decorated a hall and everybody wore funny socks to Sock it to Crockett. Homecoming was the most out- standing pep rally. They were all fun but l especially liked that one it was the most spirited, said Glen Martin. Eleven past Homecoming Queens and Football Sweethearts were brought back by the Student Council. Mums or bouttonieres were given to Mrs. Susan vonftosenberg and Miss Martha I-lgnor by the varsity cheerleaders: to the varsity cheerleaders, Mrs. vonliosenberg and their Sweetheart, Susan Lenzo by the Lairdsg to Mrs. Linda Middlebrook and Miss Mary Neill by the Blue Brigade, to twirlers Sandra Brown and Terri Schaefer, Head Drum Major Denise Hodgson and directors Mr. Carlos Garcia and Mr. Mark Eichner by the Band, and to the faculty members who had been at Mac all 25 years: Miss Agnor, Mrs. limmie Baylor, Mr. Guy Bizzell, Mr. W. A. Sloan and Miss Georgia West by the Publications Department. As it was the last pep rally, the seniors won the spirit stick lor class competition sort of by tradition. The seniors also won the stick for their decoration of the cafeteria. Then the seniors all lined up at the front ot the gym to sing the school song for the last time. Tears flowed, but spirit was at a peak and stayed up even though we lost l9-18.
