Panthers show a traditional pride during the fifties' day pep rally, Paschal students enioy the disco dance after the final football game of the season on fifties' day. J Nyfiiil f ' ff ' - llrl , 'V l Mt 'msn 24 V ACTIVITIES The Spirit of the Fifties descended on Paschal for the last football game day of the year. Panthers dressed as cool cats and slick chicks. Bobby socks, duck tails, saddle oxfords, and leather jackets dominated the scene, producing the effect of the l95O's. A uni- que enthusiasm raised at the pep rally encouraged two varsity cheerleaders, Jeff Howard and Jerry Schroe- der, to carnivorously swallow live gold fish. Spirit was successfully produced as Paschal, in its closing game of the season, routed Poly. Following the game, stu- dents rock'n'rolled at the dance in the cafeteria, spon- sored bythe cheerleaders and PSOP. So this is what the roaring 50's were like. Swingin' chicks Madge Stengle, Julie Allen, and Susie Chilton exemplify the dress of the fif- ties. : xiii' 3' euavvl

That's the Paschal battle cry! Led by the varsity cheerleaders, students gathered frequently during the academic year to encourage athletes to suc- cessful seasons. Such techniques as pies thrown in the faces of celebrities and goldfish swallowed by male cheerleaders produced an abundance of spirit. PSOP's skits, the band's music, and the Spirit Steppers' rou- tines added to the excitement. Team captains were given the opportunity to request the support of fans. Tradition figured greatly in all the pep rallies. At the beginning of each pep rally, PSOP members carried Rascal, the mascot, to his place of honor at the front of the auditorium. At the end of pep rallies, the silent yell was given, for luck, after which students gave the cus- tomary 'Number One' symbol during the school song, and athletes touched the top of the door as they exited. , Q Buntin, Nobody doesn't like Sara Lee!

Dcince Kicks Off the Holicloy Seoson Holiday sparkle abounded as the Spirit Steppers hosted their second annual Merry Christmas - Happy Hanukkah dance, December 9. Panthers danced to the hard-driving rock 'n' roll of Short Change, a favorite at dances. From 9 p.m. to 1 a.m., the Blackstone Hotel was the scene of festivities, as couples danced and conversed. Spirit Steppers decorated the room with wreaths inscribed with the names of the couples attending. The dance achieved an air of distinction with Paschalites parading in semiformal dress. A good time was had by all attending the dance. l 2 i We're iust old fashioned girls at heart. Billie Young and Angela Malick stop to get something to drink. Two, please, but hold the onions.
