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.

 .. I guess it took three hours to finish. What? Collecting wood. For what? The bonfire. Where did you collect it? A barn on Cedar Bayou Lynchburg road was rotting away. The owner said we could tear It down. How did you go about tearing down the barn? Well. Tommy Townsend. Peter Brown, and I took crow bars and axes and started knocking the walls out. Next came the corner posts. As I was knocking down a corner post, instead of falling in the other direction, it fell on top of me. Were you finished when all of the posts were knocked down? No. When the last post was knocked down, the roof caved in. We had to tear the shingles oft of it to get the wood. When that was done, we started to rip the floor up. but instead of pulling up the rotten boards, we fell through them! Bill Breecheen. would you mind if I used your experience in my copy? th iMf Of Mw »OOd • Dvang 0««n from approumataiy too ffIK MW bon »'» f ng WK MtvnaM at w f lorty • ! hgh Alone w tl MW OflWT Monwcomng fMlottw .

However, as you walked from the car to the building, the wind and rain destroyed your creation. Your hair was no longer a masterpiece, but a total disaster. You felt dirty and messy, yet nothing was going to keep you from having a good time! Despite the cloudy weather outside, the atmosphere inside was warm and full of smiles and laughter. When it came time for the special moment of the evening, you and your date watched the crowning of the queen, Lori Marti. Did you go to the bonfire? It was great! Videotapes of previous games as well as halftime performances were shown at the annual band chili supper. “The tapes were a good idea because it gave everyone something extra to do. commented John Beavers. At 6:30, assistant principals Frank Hutchins and Jackie Crawford lit the bonfire. It came as a surprise, but due to the behavior at previous bonfires, everyone was made to be off campus by ten o’clock. homecoming
