Fall colors blended I i i A refreshing popsicle helps to cool off those first, long bus rides back home for exhausted Cavaliers. There they were, the four classes of Woodson High School, back to face a hectic August morning of new schedules and teachers. During the first days of school, members of all the classes greeted old friends, filled out Federal Survey forms and welcomed AFS and other foreign students. However, the student body of Woodson had not yet united. As the various activities and clubs of Woodson be¬ gan to function, the seniors assumed their new posi¬ tions of leadership and realized their responsibility. The freshmen began to understand the challenge and meaning of high school. Each academic day, the four classes worked together as a team. At the Back- to-School Dance, the seniors, juniors, sophomores, and freshmen mingled together socially for the first time. With the Woodson Way Drive, Student Govern¬ ment made an extra effort to emphasize to all Cava¬ liers that the conduct and appearance of the student body influences the reputation of a school. Two weeks later, Woodson broke all previous records for magazine drives and established itself first in the state in spirit and support. When the first AFS assembly officially welcomed our two exchange students, Ay- senur Tamerand Vita Schulz, the girls knew that they were being received by an appreciative and unified student body.

Varsity cheerleaders lead a rousing yell for a winning team. The name, CAVALIER, prompted many differ¬ ent responses during football season, all of which combined to create that intangible something called spirit. To some, it was a regular Friday pep rally in front of the school on a brisk autumn morning, with the Cheerleaders, Majorettes, and Pep Band. To others, football spirit meant decorated goal posts, half-time shows with the marching band, and crowded Cavalier stands on game nights, despite the weather. Football spirit was an enthusiastic Sen¬ ior Section throughout the entire season, with Give a Yell and Boom-Chicka-Boom yelled just as often as the traditional Two Bits . True football spirit was easily recognized. It went hand in hand with frozen toes, damp stringy hair, a red nose, laryngitis, and most of all, pride in our team. 14 STUDENT LIFE
