' The Sadie Hawkins dance swings with the Boenzee Cryque. Wagions A NEW LOOK was introduced into Wagions during the 1967-1968 school year. To start this wave of modernization, the uniform was completely restyled, using original design of Wasson students. A fall picnic held in the stadium sparked interest among members. A first among state high schools, the club's first experiences with a card section enthusiastically displayed artistic ability. Red, white, brown, and blue cards were used to make such formations as a Wasson Thunderbird, a psychedelic spiral, hi, and a Wasson The section effectively high-lighted half- time shows. Active as always, Wagions planned several activities such as selling candy for the Kidney Foundation. High morale and a sense of humor during the Pep Club assembly helped create the proper mood for the Wheatridge football game. After the Wheatridge game, the Pep Club sponsored a Sadie Hawkins dance which featured the Boenzee Cryque. Strong class competition, spirit, and fun dominated the Powder Puff basketball game, held in early December. The officers of the Wagions sought to improve relations between schools through inter-school pep club officer meetings. r
