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.

BEFORE SCHOOL 6, AC- FREETIME in Mrs. Craig's class is spent studying for an upcoming test. Elisa Perez, Sue Mueller. and Iudy Untermeyer ask each other questions to make sure they know the material. IUST COMPLETING A TEST, Christi Ladd uses her spare time playing cards while waiting for the next hell to ring to her next class. Extra time after finishing tests was used to study for other classes, goofing around or just relaxing. 16 typical day , tfslz R J if 'f x ,447 -nv 1 WAS A TYPICAL DAY Custodians come earliest to open building, clean up, do yard work ac was a big place. Big not only in square feet, but also in people and events. Some of the happenings were planned, others spontaneous, some had an air of dignity while many were frivolous. Some of the dumbest things happen at school, like people drag racing, wearing curlers, guys painting their fingernails and girls cutting their hair, said Barbara Santos. Fridays were usually the busiest days of the week, especially during football season. All the learning, fun and excitement began around five- thirty on school mornings. Custodians arrived at various times to clean up and open school. 'lWe pick up trash and try to keep the building clean. I work mostly outside in the yard, so l get here about seven o'clock, said Mr. Daniel Evans, yard worker. Mr. Evans was not the earliest to arrive, as the custodians who opened the school came around five or six o'clock. Also coming to school early were Blue Brigaders and band members. Blue Brigaders arrived at 7:45 am. wearing curlers and short suits. They were ready to work on routines in spite of sleepiness and worries about schoolwork. Tolerating the cold wind and muddy field, band members still managed to practice for halftime shows and concerts. Poking and jabbing was just half the commotion which went on when the drill team and band members returned their flags and instruments to the band hall. lt's really not all that bad because people look up to you after they see you perform, lt is a lot of fun, said Barbara Jones, While Blue Brigaders and band members were practicing, teachers arrived early also. They needed to plan and organize daily activities. Mrs. Pearl Harrell, Mr. Gordon Bennett, Mr. Frank Keathly and Mr Carl Cannop were just a few of the teachers who came early. Although most teachers arrived between seven and eight, some failed to come on time. Mr. Randy Stano, publications adviser, was often forced to stay as late as three o'clock in the morning working on the newspaper and yearbook. After being up so late, sometimes Mr. Stano turned his alarm off and went back to sleep the next morning. Sometimes someone who was in my first period class calls and wakes me up by 7:45 a.m. complained Mr, Stano. Early vocational classes were offered for juniors and seniors. Teachers were willing to meet with students every morning around seven-thirty, Students took the early morning vocational cooperative class so they could check out at noon and go to work. Mrs. lov Alexander, vocational counselor said, lt really takes a lot of ambition and determination for students to KConf1nued on page 191 FINAL TOUCHES are put on a drawing as artist Ed Daily cuts an overlay in Mr. George Garza's class.
