A brand new feeling of pride took hold of the entire community as the Wildcats captured their first 5A State Champion- ship. This spirit and determi- nation on the part of the volunteers n o t o n 1 y stretched to s p o r t i n g events. From everything from home- coming to selling spirit items, Plano parents added to the con- tinued suc- cesses of the Staff that followed, the pioneers dreams began to unfold in- to a reality as the popula- tion of Plano began to boom. With the growth of the city came an increased sense of pride. Planoites expressed in- terest in all aspects of the community, whether cultural and religious, economic and political, or educational and social, they knew no boundaries for their support. For students at Plano Senior High this meant community support for all aspects of school life. Local citizens trekked to Waco and College Station to school and community. Students sponsored fund-raisers within the community and citizens whole-heartedly backed their efforts. Parents got involved by forming booster clubs such as the Quarterback Club and Band Boosters, both which expressed their support for the school and its activities. As a result of uniting together in various city- wide activities, Planoites continued the bond of strength and pride that early pioneers had begun to establish. Opening 1 1
