Continued from page 210 'Though they did supply the Wranglers with a Sl200 keg fund, many Wran- glers had their own shirts designed by Print-a-Shirt. Headbuster Mark Christansen said, No one liked them so everyone went out and made their own. For the Brazoswood game the Wran- glers had their own private parade. It resembled a funeral procession. A Wrangler played dead on top of one of the cars with a Confederate flag on top of him. We knew it was a success because the Markettes turned around and looked at us. It was the only time they ever paid any attention to us, laughed Mark. While a major part of Wranglers is parties and hell raising, Wranglers also had routine duties they did for each game. They were in charge of bringing out the big run-through each game after halftime and they were responsi- ble for the mascot. The Wranglers left for the games at 6 p.m. with the Mustang in the back of a pick-up truck. When we started out we had a convoy going out there, Mark said.

SOMETHING TO CELEBRATE Although they lacked the 76 trom- bones, the student body still had the necessary elements to form the Spring Branch game parade. The marching band, drill team, cheerleaders, football teams, hundreds of club members, and even a unicyclist all took advantage of the 2:00 break to begin the parade on November 10, a day of excitement as well as quarter exams. We had two police cars, an ambu- lance, and a fire engine, Student Council President John Landa said. The police escorted the mass of stu- dents from the starting point of the parade at the fieldhouse parking lot, across Echo Lane, through the back parking lot, and finally to the gym, where the pep rally began. There were lots of clubs that were there, said Landa. When everybody participates, spirit goes up. Beginning with a special Friday night pep rally, Homecoming weekend was capped off with a 9-3 victory over Stratford and a successful Homecom- ing dance. At halftime, the three Homecoming Queen finalists, Cecile Closmann, Gala Holt, and Terry Wood, were escorted to the field by their fathers, and Cecile was announced as the Homecoming Queen.

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.
