I think we learned a lot more different things when we were theref' said Marjorie. TAKING ON THE RED AND WHITE Because the winning season resem- bled last year's so much. many people thought the intensity of spirit was dif- ferent. Last year we were the under- dogs. This year everyone was out to get us, said Rachel Lee. The second time around there wasn't as much enthusiasm, Greg King said. Varsity Football player Chris Malham thought the team spirit was good but the school spirit was down. Senior Charlie Bejjani thought everyone became used to the winning. Varsity football player Will Winsauer said, The spirit is generated from the student body to the football team. I believe the student body is behind the team if it's good or bad. If we have great pep rallies. getting fired up by them helps us a lot. Will added. We didn't advance as far as last year. but we were more of a team than last year. Everyone looked forward to the games in the Astrodome. One football player said. We thought about it all season. It was a special opportunity and a great sensation. Markette Carol Devlin said, I liked the dome games. We didn't really cheer that much. We watched the games. Senior Nancy Wright said. The Astrodome game we won was the best. .lust thinking you're in the Astrodome is something special. Summing up the year's season. Will Winsauer noted: We had to work for it. We paid a price for the wins we got and it was worth it. -30 - Red Hot' 217
