Fire Kindled for Tabb-York Football Game There was a game, there was, I swear It caused much trouble everywhere. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth Oh good Lord I think we goofed. Our brave strong team of orange and white Steamed, as we cheered them on to fight When it was all over I’m sorry to say We did not win it, no, not that day. But next year we know that we will win We will see who’s the best in the end. I Tigers heckle in vain, for Coach Mitchell calmly boogies on by A droll procession meets with student body approval • Amenl The Tabb-York game created some excitment and anticipation — in everyone. Pep Rallies — Mixed Participation Pep rallies this year at Tabb have been few and weakly supported Some say that this shows cancerous apathy, but it may mean something entirely different. Football, basketball, and all other athletic events continued to host overwhelming crowds and student interest in the teams continued to show. Maybe students have grown wear ' of the traditional rah-rah” pep rally and are ready to adopt something new. Whatever the case, support for the athletic teams is as high as it has ever been and the competitive drive is still there. PEPRALLIE.S” 25 J

Destination — Florida During spring break, April 6-11, the Tabb High band members and cheerleaders found themselves on the longest band trip yet; to Florida. After a twenty-two hour bus ride, the three Newton buses finally arrived at Lakeland High School in Lakeland, Florida. There the students met their new family” for a couple of days. The students stayed in homes of Lakeland band members for two nights. It is part of an exchange program to be continued next year when Lakeland comes to give their band concert at Tabb. After the brief concert on Monday night, the remainder of the trip was devoted to fun and play. A whole day was spent at Disney World waiting in long lines to ride Space Mountain or crossing the suspended bridge to Tom Sawyer’s Island. Early the next morning, everyone met at the Lakeland civic center to load the buses for Cocoa Beach. For two days they all lay by the poolside or down on the beach, attempting to get a tan but most returned with a painful bum. Thursday afternoon the buses rolled into Marineland where they were entertained by dolphins, sharks, stingrays, and the other sea creatures. After the show, the long trip back to Tabb began. Friday at half past noon, the buses arrived home with anxious parents and friends waiting. Everyone was tired and sunburned; glad they had gone but happy to be home! The Mickey Mouse made of shrubbery in front of Disney World welcomes Tabb students and chaperones. ‘Everyone’s eyes were focused on the water, watching the dolphins perform.
