Coach Koechig was assistant football and track coach at H Travis from 1968-1973, when he ,began coaching at McCallum. Miss Norma Barber, the second publications adviser at McCallum, told about one year in the late 1950's when some Mac , ' ' , publications representatives went to Travis to borrow the Bell for a pep rally. They couldn't find the Bell, so they asked around to see if anyone knew where it was. We finally found it in the band hall, but when we brought it out to the jeep that one of our students had broughtjit was surrounded by Travis students. Not only that,.but they had disconnectedsomething under the hood and hooked the winch to two supports in this passageway, Miss Barber explained, The group was a little rushed for time since pep rallies were held first thing in the morning. 'The assistant principal got the students away from the jeep and we got back to McCallum just in time for the end of the pep rally. ln the first few years that the schools were open, rivalry between the north and the south was shown, among other ways,during Beat Mac Week at Travis-and Beat Travis Week at McCallum. Thesewere held during the week preceding the annual game. Beat Mac Week activities in- cluded bonfires, contests for the best-decorated advisories, Color Day and pep rallies. ln order to ' save the football players' strength for the McCallum-Travis game, members of ithe -Travis drill team, the Rebelettes, often volunteered to carry their books. McCallum held Beat Travis Week which included costumes, slogans, streamers, peplrallies Coften spur-of-the-moment, springing up from organized pep ralliesj, bontires and the traditional ulohnny Reb grave . Competition is strong between the schools, but the teams are always friendly regar-' , dless of the outcome of the football game. 1 think the main reason the rivalry came about was because the students were at the same school before Travis and McCallum opened, said Mr. Guy Bizzell, Mac teacher for 25 years. Another link betwen the sister schools are a few members of the McCallum faculty. Mr. W. A. Sloan was principal at Travis from 1953- 1964, before he transferred as principal to McCallum. Mr. Randy Stano did his student teaching at Travis and one of his students was Miss Diane Nelson, social studies teacher at McCallum. After graduating from Travis in 1962, Coach Robert loiner returned to Travis to coach basketball and TV footballtrom 1969-1975, when he came to Mac. Mr. Robert Lehman, Coach Randy 1-litsman, and Coach Earl Clardy are all graduates of Travis High. - . . Even though 1 graduated from 71 Travis, my loyalty is here at Mac. W now, said Coach Clardy, l'd rather beat Travis than anybody. Coach loiner said, 'Theres no loyalty problem with me. It might have been a little difficult the first year I taught at Mac, but no problem after that . mac-travis

From sock-like booties worn as a baby to the hard-soled shoes with heels worn as adults, shoes have almost always been a part of everyone's life. Shoes, much like clothes or hairstyles, follow trends and there are several styles for both girls and boys which are currently popular. Among the styles currently fashionable for girls are platform shoes. Many different styles, brands, and prices can be found. Girls wear these with dress pants, jeans, or any length dresses. Famolares are a brand of shoes designed for comfortable walking. The soles on Famolare shoes are wavy, There are many different styles of Famolares to choose from, but they generally run from S25 - 350. Famolares are more ex- pensive than other brands, but they're worth it because they are so comfortable and they look good, said Kelley Foster. A few types of shoes are seasonal, such as sandals and boots for girls. Sandals are usually better in warm weather to keep feet cool and dry, although they can be worn all year long. They come in all heel sizes and prices. For winter, boots provide warmth as well as style and can be worn with dresses, gauchos or pants. Boots are nice and warm. They're good-looking and they're useful because they hide my legs when l'm wearing a dress, said Martha Meyers. They are especially popular with skinny-legged jeans tucked into them.
