Spur clash marks grid season climax . . . No other week can match the one that proceeds the Lubbock-Monterey game. From beginning to end the halls are filled with color and spirit. Chants, special slogans, a snake dance, a pep rally, car decoration contest and poster contest build to a tremendous burst of spirit and energy that decides the resting place of the Silver Spurs. On game day tension is heightened with the lighting of the hex candle that burns until the hopes of one team dies and the Silver Spurs are awarded to the victors. Vocalists Darrell McClure. Jan Cannon. Marjorie Newton and W. C. Watts harmonize in the LHS pep rally. With a burst of spirit, cheerleaders and players break through a giant banner and charge onto the field before the LHS game.
