SCHOOL SPIRIT COlMMLlTEE Under the leadership of committee chair- man Bob Werth, School Spirit Committee members strove to boost spirit to a greater level and to better sportsmanship among the stu- dents. By means of announcements over the public address system, posters, and signs, the committee informed the student body of all athletic events. To increase school spirit among the students, committee members as- sembled booster tags, which were sold at school throughout the year, and shahies, which were sold at football games. Other ac- tivities of the School Spirit Committee were decorating Memorial Stadium for all football games, helping with the decorations for the homecoming game and festir ities, and deco- rating the gym for all basketball games. In addition the committee posted a bulletin board in the front hall which covered all games dur- ing the basketball season. To boost spirit, committee chairman Boh Werth and members Chere Randall, Alice Armstrong, and Sigrid Wischhusen post signs in the gym. Hospitality members Susan Bridges, Willie Baucom, Vicki Mabry, Carol Graham, and chairman Becky Sides ready refreshments for Student Council.
