RUSTY HOWARD, SENIOR, tries to convince the senioriclass that' he would'be the best candidate for vice-president as Russel Douglas, Duncan Gibbs and Mike Grady listen. October Brings Class Officer Election October opened with a surge of spirit as Rebel enthusiasm reached an all-time high with the perpetual activities of pep rallies, football games and poster contests. Rebel Spirits topped all previous attempts to boost school spirit in their all out backing of Tas- cosa teams. From serenading football boys the night before games to early morning pep rally skitsg from 2 a.m. yard favor trips to pre-school jaunts to a bakery for team cupcake favors on Friday morning, the spirit boosters helped make Tascosa's 1967 football season an unforgettable one. The month of October also brought about the initiation of voting machines in the election of class officers at Tascosa. Students flocked to the Commons in record numbers to try out the new method of casting votes, as 43 sophomores, juniors and seniors vied for the opportunity of presiding over their respective classes for the oncoming year. Making their debut at a concert, D'Ann Hayes and Karen and Sharen Lard were selected for choir and orchestra royalty. Shari Dupuis was granted a double honor of being chosen both band queen and Miss Southern Belle. She was crowned band queen at the Oct. 7 AHS-THS game and elected as the school's official hostess Oct. 17. October, 1967-a month Whose activities ranged from the tense anticipation of a football game to the.beauty of falling leaves on a lazy, crisp day of Indian Summer-was a month to be remembered. REBEL FOOTBALL PLAYERS eat a pre-game meal before traveling to Lubbock for a 14-7 win over Coronado.

During this American Education Week observance, classroom doors were thrown wide open as parents became better acquainted with Rebel curriculum, instructors and school life. Night time jaunts to school seemed only routine to many Rebel fans as the drama department of- fered three backstage productions and other school groups maintained their now organized schedules of monthly meetings. Rebel life was also becoming routine for Irene Lie, foreign exchange student from Indonesia, and the 2200 other Rebs who entered Tascosa only two months before. The swelling pride felt in every Rebel's heart at the annual presentation of Miss Southern Belle- the now certain feeling all newcomers had that they, too, were Rebels-the restlessness of the entire student body at the anticipation of the Thanksgiv- ing holidays-this was November, 1967.
