Getting into the school spirit wasn't always a 'walk in the park' for students, but supportive parents and fans helped make things alot easier this year. Thursday night, the evening before each football game, heated up as school kids from all grades, sometimes ignoring rain and missing the Cosby Show, gathered at the home of ci player or cheerleader, and because of the support and encouragement shown, sparked the determination of victory in each football player's mind. On Halloween, the Griffin team was scheduled to play in Many. Because the players were to miss their Halloween festivities, ci holiday bonfire was creatively planned and held at, where else but, the Alewyne house. From pumpkins and pinatas to ghost stories and scavenger hunts, the bonfire seemed to be better than the actual Halloween night. The eerie location of the pep rally that night kindled a memory of a Halloween some of us will never forget. A long, dark, and extremely narrow driveway is no place to be stranded, especially for someone who had just been told the story of the spooky ghosts that haunted the Alewyne plantation. But when a traffic jam cut off the only passage home, flashbacks of hockey masks and claw-like fingernails ignited in our minds. The narrow driveway made it impossible for two cars to pass each other, and when attempted, caused a ten car pile up, leaving no way in and, more importantly, no way out! Being stranded on a dark road surrounded by trees isn't exactly what five girls considered fun at the time. But that was before they noticed that over half the football team was stranded with them! Replacing fear with fun, we joined in the walk up the pitch dark driveway and found not only the culprit, but also a damsel in distress. A tearful,cheerleader's Cutlass had been ditched, leaving no room for other cars to pass. After the hard work and trouble of getting a truck, the car refused to be pulled out. Our last hope was to find out if those long hours of football practice had paid off after all. After a while of pushing and pulling, the team managed to ease the car from the ditch without a scratch, and we soon found ourselves safely in our cars and on our way home. - Karen Hodges V - - A .jkll lgk lull A ,. 2-,L::.,::VEA AV V...
