Fall Activities Cherokee village burst into activity with the opening of school September 6. During the annual Howdy Week spon- sored by the school organizations students became acquainted as they joined together for the purpose of promoting Cherokee spirit. In addition to games played in San Antonio, the foot- ball team traveled to Kingsville, Port Lavaca. Del Rio. and Houston. Symbols of spirit were evident throughout the school as halls overflowed with decals, yell books, pennants, and rab- bits' feet. Posters and decorations telling of coming games covered the walls. In classcooms students were busy begin- ning term projects while teachers set deadlines for assign- ments. Imaginative drills by the Cherokee Band and Chero- ketts highlighted the football games. All clubs and organi- zations worked together to increase school pride and spirit that will be remembered for years to come. To Nancy Fisher, taking absentee reports from doors is already be- ginning to be routine. Anyone who approaches Ronnie Neely saying Lacheeda had bet- ter turn and run. This novelty yell was done by cheerleaders, Carol Norville, Sissy Tadlock, Sharon Spillman, Carol Persyn, and Carol Moore. 20
