Former Cinderella luck sfazilfgrasragi1fs:2.2.2zzfmiflzgifsfzzs eludes determined Lions Luck, that fickle possession of the Cinderella team a year ago, was ap- parently used up as the fighting Lions had win after win snatched away in the closing minutes, some- times seconds, of several games. Student involvement and spirit seemed important in the first victory of the year. Many players com- mented that seeing cheering fans in the stands gave them that little extra push they needed. Northwest Classen was the Lions' first victim, and they had an appa- rently easy time of it, beating the ltii' il .- 1-s f' ff Lo' 138 Knights in a runaway, 27-O. Coach Don Hodd dubbed the team the 'tAngry Red after that game. Sept. 9 the Lions played to a full house at Del City, billed as one of the top two games in the state for that weekend. lt lived up to its rating. The game was not decided until the last few seconds when a fourth down effort, that might have kept a winning drive alive, failed. Many felt that the team could hold their heads high despite the 14-6 loss, they had given the number one rated team a run for the money. The Lions bounced back next week to beat a highly rated Midwest City team, 21-13. lt was the second upset win in two years. The game was decided in the last few seconds when a pass interception call gave the Lions another attempt for a touchdown. Then the boom fell on U.S. Grant at Southside Stadium, Sept. 22. The Lions walked away with that one easily, 42-6. Bishop McGuiness was next on the list, and the powerful Lions were beginning to look indestructible as they whipped the lrish 34-2. The boom fell again. This time, however, it was on the Lions. A third quarter blitz of three touchdowns by the fired-up Eagles put the Lions out of reach. They lost an important Boomer Conference game, 34-19. ,towing the loss to Ncrman, -33-7. COMPACT MODEL of an MHS cheerleader I . AGZQNIZING DEFEAT doesi-thot spirit of students as they gather on the

Cheerleaders, M-Club support teams Few people knew, but the cheer- leaders were practicing in the hot sun this summer for 4 hours a day, to get ready to go to the cheerleading clinic held at the University of Ok- lahoma, Texas and Kansas. At clinic they won, 5 superior ribbons, 3 ex- celletn ribbons and five spirit sticks which are given to the most spirited schools. After they got back from the clinic they had about a months rest then in August they got back to work and began practicing for shcool pep as- semblies and football games. They also handed out pop sickles to the football players after their 2-a-day practices. When school began was when the cheerleaders knew that it depended upon them to get pep into the as- semblies and spirit into the school. To get spirit flowing during football season they sold spirit ribbons, but- tons, spirit mugs and homecoming mums. The cheerleaders also spent a lot of time and thought in making different favors or treats for the football team every week. The last football assembly they made the se- nior football players pillows so they could keep and treasure. A big change was made in the selection of the cheerleading squad, two alternate cheerleaders were chosen which added to the usual eight. During football season they were considered alternates, but dur- ing winter and spring sports they participated, cheered and were rec- ognized as varsity cheerleaders. During pep assemblies and foot- ball games the cheerleaders weren't alone. Their sponsors, Pat Flippin and Valerie Slivinsky were behind them all the way. They were not only complementing but also giving a lot of constructive criticism. Moore Lettermen's Club is a dif- ferent kind of organization. They raise money for the All Sports Ban- quet, which costs about S3,000, wrestling sweaters, a new gymnas- tics bar and many other things that are contributed to sports. The way the M Club raised the money that helped so many sports was by hav- ing different athletes work in the concession stands at the junior high football games and baseball games. All the money from the ads that were put in the football program contri- buted also. Throughout the year, FCA had both service-oriented activities in which they strived to help others and their social activities which in- cluded parties and fellowships. Service-oriented activities for the year included the KZUE Thanksgiv- ing basket and Our Children's Con- valescent Center Easter basket. FCA's social events included a fall get acquainted' fellowship and spring thank-you party. FCA also had Friday morning breakfast fel- lowships in which they shared with their guest speakers their love, rev- erence, and good attitudes toward Christ and life. 3, at rj.,- CHEERLEADERS.
