Some people thought our student body needed a little more football spirit, that maybe we could have yelled a little louder for the Lions. Nevertheless, we loved 'em and backed 'em because they were Our Team. iw 345 :N gh., X ,4 Yxif Vlfjl. X v- ' L Reta was crowned football queen at the annual football banquet.
