Continued from page 209 of out on the floor as they used to do. Administrators thought the 55 chairs would damage the new surface. Varsity football player Gig Settegast did not like sitting on the bleachers. It makes you seem like you're just part of the audience. When you're sitting out on the floor it makes you feel like every- body is cheering for you, Gig said. Sigma Gamma decided that buying a red cushioned carpet would solve the problem. With Principal Wayne Scha- per's consent, Sigma Gamms and the Booster Club bought the red gym car- pet, splitting the cost. This enabled the Varsity players to sit on the gym floor again. Costing S450, the rug will help to keep the tradition of the football play- ers apart from the student body. For a month between October and November. the big flashing sign at Memorial City blinked Go Memorial Go and Memorial has more horse- power 6 times an hour, 24 hours a day. Sigma Gamma paid for the added spirit. The guy let us have it for dirt cheap, said Karen. Karen added that a lot of Varsity players took their Sigma Gamma girls out to dinner after football season was over. WRANGLERS TONE IT DOWN Senior Mark Christiansen, a Wran- gler, said Wranglers had much to do with school spirit, because a lot of underclassmen look up to the seniors so they kinda go along with the spirit. We were trying to be halfway peaceful this year. lf we got caught, it would ruin it for everybody, Mark said. Wranglers have been basically known for beer, hell-raising, and carry- ing onf' he explained. We did a few things. We took one of the schools' mascot we played but we never let it stay at one house for too longf, Mark admitted. Being a Wrangler meant going to a lot of parties. We had at least one party per game. Sometimes we had a party before a game and another after the game. As the season went on. we had more parties, Mark said. Wrangler T-shirts caused no trouble.

Due to broken bleachers and a new hardwood floor in the gym, the first pep rally of the year was held outdoors at the track in the rain. All concerned were relieved when the pep rallies were once again held in the gym. Photo by Trent Rosenthal.
