We Can’t Be Beaten K ride s fruc iUe Gold is perfectly symbolic of W.C. The Falcons have proven time and time again that they are extremely durable and virtually indestructible. They can withstand any given obstacles including the frequent schedule changes which resulted from the errors of our new system of scheduling — the Computers! Injury took its toll on many students this year. At one time we had as many as four on crutches while others had arms in slings, and braces on their ankles. Even though these people were put out of commission for awhile and were faced with a pesty nuisance, not to mention the treacherous uphill climb at the ramps, they managed to get by with a little help of some friendly Golden Falcons. Hard work on the practice field was another characteristic of the Falcons. All organizations, teams, and students never hesitated to give 100% in every instance. Many times the dedication, hard work and endurance seen only behind the scenes at rather unglamorous practices went unnoticed by us. But Falcons kept plugging away in hopes that others would recognize our efforts when the crucial time came. We never ceased supporting all of our Falcons in their efforts in spite of some second-place” seasons. After a few alterations, pep sessions were full and for the most part enthusiastic. At events groups of students were highly visible and often loudly vocal for their Falcons. No matter the odds or end results, Falcon supporters continued forth hoping to thrust their favorite forth to Victory. Sometimes we're beaten and bruised, and we may not always 'win,' but with our GOLD behind us we can never lose, quoted one girl. ABOVE. PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT. For those who were not on the varsity team. Intramurals provided a way for these boys to still participate. Nine teams vied for the championship each Monday night. 7
