Cowen The team members anticipate their introductions before the crowd at the Vikings Game LOYAL FA FS1 BRAVE COLD Even the extremely cold temperature didn’t keep fans away from the game. The crowd’s support encourag- ed the team as they played a tough game against the Pleasant Grove Vikings. “When we started to get down, we’d look behind us and see the crowd. It gave us hope again!” remarked Bart Huber. Despite the efforts put forth by the football players and fans, the game ended in defeat At halftime, the Utes were in the lead with a 28 yard field goal made by Steve Nawahine The outstand- ing defense held the Vik- ings to only 13 points which resulted in a score of 3-13. Halftime brought per formances by the cheer- and songleaders and flag twirlers. Homecoming queen and attendants were escorted onto the field by their fathers. They began what they hoped would be a new tradition by releasing their red and white balloons which signaled the crowd to do so also. Because the new sound system blew up during the flags routine, the drill team, unaware of the mishap, left the field after lining up and didn’t perform their routine until after the fourth quarter. Float building, which dominated much of the week, began after school and often lasted late into the night. Participants found the hard work worthwhile as the parade began. All of the time spent paid off for the students as the senior float won best all-around, juniors with the best class float, and the best theme award going to the sophomores. The eventful week came to a close with the first annual Homecoming dance held in the new building. The commons area was decorated with such things as fringe and white plastic which lined the walls.
