Sunglasses + Banners = Cougar Pride We ' re the best, We ' re more fun, We ' re the class of ' 81! The familiar cry rose from the bleachers and echoed loudly throughout the gym. It was not only the class motto which echoed through the air, but a feeling of pride and unity. The Class of ' 81 screamed, yelled, hooped, and hollered, showing their spirit and promoting class pride to its fullest. As Sophomores, the Class of ' 81 cheered their way to four consecutive spirit stick wins. Little did they know that with the end of the year would also come the end of the spirit stick competition. So spirit sticks and the yelling of class mottos soon faded into the past; but the Class of ' 81 forged ahead, rallying behind the Cougars in every way they could. The class motto was pushed aside, more or less, and replaced by such cheers as the “U-G-L-Y” cheer and the ever-popular “DEFENSE” chant. The Seniors yelled these cheers and others to urge the Cou¬ gars on to victory. The class ' s spirit was elevated to a new height at the first pep rally of their Senior year. After three years as underclassmen, they were at last the honored partici¬ pants of pep rallies. Seniors marched in, proudly shouting We ' re number 1!”, as underclassmen stood in the bleachers. They carried banners, wore sunglasses, and shouted praises of the Cougars. Sen¬ iors, of course, were not the only class with spirit, but they were great leaders in Cou¬ gar Pride. Not just another pretty face-Luscious Lou Lou (Perry King) primps to retain her hairstyle. Many Senior boys showed their spirit by participating in the Boys ' Beauty Pageant.

Tons of it. It often took a Senior by surprise when it continued to fill his mail box daily, gradually adding a new look to his bedroom. Along with the added reponsibilities of legal age came the experience of receiv¬ ing junk mail. Previous to SAT ' s and ASVAB ' s, almost everything they re¬ ceived in the mail was strictly personal. Almost over night, their mail boxes be¬ came stuffed with all types of mail. Not just letters from relatives or pen pals were found. Applications and pamphlets from colleges all over the country, whether they had been requested or not, were re¬ ceived along with information concerning the military. Much time was spent wading through the flood of mail, trying to decide what was worth keeping and what was simply good enough to keep the fire burning. Some Seniors had finally reached the age to compete in the famous Publishers Clearing House Award.” Seniors were tempted with promises of wealth, health, education, magazines, and even free per¬ sonalized flower pots. After a while most Seniors became thor¬ oughly disgusted. But look on the bright side, wasn ' t it nice to be so popular? Another day, another piece of mail -Ann Kelley strugges with a new supply of mail. An avalanche of junk and college mail kept Seniors from feeling for- Vgotten. 170 Seniors
