Closer and closer, louder and louder, you become a part of the mania. You are enveloped by this insani- ty. Well, it's completely normal for any Friday morning during football season. When 10:45 rolled around and students were dismissed for the weekly pep rally, a new surge of energy was unleashed. Most students chose to re- main standing the entire pep rally; however, spirit competition was by far the most popular way of determining who i the commons causes you showed the most school spirit. With the help of a cheerleader or two during lunch, students gathered in the commons, leading each other in various cheers. “True Blue fans came with everything from flyswatters on Swat the Yellow Jackets Day to camouflage shirts and duck calls on Hunt Down the Ganders Day. Although our season record was less than we had hoped, our fans never gave up. perhaps inspired by the words of our school song, Rangers Stand United. spirit

The last seconds tick away . . . three, two, WON! But where’s THE Song?” Is the band gonna play it? Yes. we drove Dixie down that Halloween night 10 to 6; where was the traditional Night We Drove Ole Dixie Down? The two men responsible for not allowing the song played were Principal Ed Wachtel and Head Coach Al Dennis. Wachtel stated that he had spoken with band director Irby Martin before the game, feeling that if we did win it was unnecessary to add to the Ganders' defeat by performing the song afterward. He asked. “Why add salt to the wound? Unaware of Wachtel's request. Dennis approached Martin saying he would prefer that the band not play it during the game unless there was 100% certainty the victory was clinched. In honoring the requests of both, the band did not perform the infamous number. That poor, pitiful Gander was cooled off with sunglasses, kicked around by boots, stomped on with crazy socks, hunted down by camouflaged kids and spooked by ghosts and goblins of every shape and size.
