Although the official school hours were 8:35 to 3:20, the days often began earlier and ended much later. Early morning band practices, football work- outs, Christmas float decorations, jour- nalism deadlines, nightly volleyball prac- tices, and club meetings were among many activities which filled the after hours. Lonely cars were often scattered across the black and white asphalt parking lot until as late as 10 p.m. Temple was a place for sports. lt was a place for practicing and winning, and it was also a place for losing and learning. The newly expanded Wildcat Stadium was jam-packed at every home game, and cars with blue and white streamers blowing in the wind and Wildcats - Pride of Temple stickers hit the highway whether the game was in Abilene, Austin, or Conroe. CBS recognized'Temple's extreme participa- tion and support of Wildcat football and featured Temple in a segment on Texas High School Football, which was aired on national television. While watching the film, it was obvious that its contents portrayed nowhere else but Temple. Some things could be copied - and some things couldn't.
