Rebel Week theme: Victory in the Heart of Dixie 22 Rebel Week Ka-Boom! was heard each day at 3:10 during Rebel Week, October 5-9. The cannon Li'l Reb sounded the end of each day leading up to homecoming night on Friday. Rebel Week was filled with numerous activities centering around the theme, Victory in the Heart of Dixie. Tuesday was designated as Jail Day, when students wearing green and white, the opponent's colors, were jailed during lunch. Wednesday was selected as Color Day, when each grade wore different combinations of red, white, and blue. Lighting up the sky on Wednesday night, the annual bon- fire was highlighted with a pep talk by lVlr. Harry Shipley, presi- dent of the Booster Club. Spirit reached its height when a large cardboard Pointer dog was burned in effigy. Thursday included a float parade and the traditional Clash-Day for Sophomores. The Homecoming pep rally, lasting almost an hour, took place Friday afternoon. The winner of the Super Rebel contest, James Farris, was announced during the all-school assembly. The overwhelming spirit of Rebel Week had a victorious effect on the game, as Southside defeated Van Buren, 26-3.
