THE NIGHT BEFORE. Senior sign mak- ing parties took place every Thursday night before Friday's game, with Julie Williams doing the run through signs each week during football season. ON THEIR KNEES. Pointer Prancer members go over a routine one more time during an afterschool practice ses- sion for an upcoming football perfor- mance. 4... Q THE GGGD LIFE and not the typical After-hour Zflflff Dog s life Sleeping until noon, waking to iind a dish of food already prepared, then lying and loafing until suppertime, with not a thing to complain about... Maybe the life of most dogs, but not a Pointer. We could complain about the cafeteria food or all the homework and tests, but the good stuff like pep rallies, games, all the assemblies and just the way students and teachers think in a positive attitude covers up all the bad things, Junior Charles Ewing smiled. From cheering for their favorite Pointer team, involving themselves in organizations or trying to main- tain a satisfactory grade point, students expressed their spirit in diversified ways. Too many times when people talk about school spirit, they forget about involvement in classroom and club activities, both of which I think have a lot to do with whether a person is spirited or notf' Senior Donna Bean proclaimed. Still, students, spirit yells at pep assemblies and sacrificing weekends cruising and parties to attend games proved beyond doubt that athletic spirit topped the pyramid. All the excitement and tension in the air from the morning pep rallies, throughout the school day and on into the nightime tip off really makes me feel the school spirit is in everybodyf' Junior Pointerette Ellie Pitchford reported. mwmwwmmwWwEM,mwwmmsmsmmxwswvmwwwx mwmwmwmwwmwm-awww mm-at New V11 two fu Studen

Junior Stacie Reeves Walter Rockwell acts embarrassed at his gets her picture taken for that special surprise birthday party given by his aides, someone by Publications photographer student council kids and Counselor Patt Webb. Rick Holmes during the Student Council- Quill 8: Scroll sponsored event. Tl-IE GOOD LIFE when all hours are Birthdays, holidays, blow-off days P m e Debbie shivered violently in the cold winter air as she fumbled blindly for her keys outside the house. Finally feeling her way in total blackness to unlock her front door, she thought it odd for the den to be totally unlighted. Suddenly, blinding lights and loud party horns shocked her senses as a houseful of friends and relatives shouted HSURPRISE! Happy Birth- day Debbieli' I had the best birthday ever! One of my old boyfriends baked me a heart-shaped cake, Sophomore Deb- bie Cummings laughed. But my pre- sent boyfriend beat that by buying me this huge stuffed elephant, 16 red roses and then taking me to Tulsa to eat. Gifts, either given or received, lightened many special occasions. Of course some students anticipated offerings, often to their late disap- pointment. I was expecting a car for my birth- day and it killed me when I didn't get one, Junior Tina McGhee smiled. Dad had me believing Iwouldn't get one until Spring, but then they shock- ed me with a new set of car keys at Christmas? ii ood life
