many phases of fun for fans 22 The fans played an important part in cheering the Bulldogs on to victory in the 1968 football season. Their travels took them all over the City, to Elder, Princeton, and Trechter, and even outside the City to Hamilton-Garfield. The fans did not always go away for the games, because for the first time in Woodward's history, they were given the opportunity to show their spirit in the new Woodward Stadium. Another addi- tion which aided participation in the cheers was the Bulldogs' mascot, Ellen Gerber. Even through the numb noses and frozen feet at the bitter cold game with Hughes, the spectators proved that they had the enthusiasm needed to boost the team's morale. Some came to see their friends; others, just to yell, and a few even came to watch the game. But no matter what the motivating force, their pep contributed to championship for the Bulldogs. The crowds were usually small in size, with the exception of the first game in the new stadium, when the crowd cheered not only for the team, but aiso for Dolly Cohen, who helped to make the stadium a reality. The fans ended the season still showing their spirit, by giving the team a lively send-off to the P.H.S.L. championship game. I've been to all the games, and I've gotten more interested in my school that way. l'm proud of it and Ithink the games raise the morale and spirit of the students. Iwent to the first game and wanted to come back 'cause lwant to stay with 'em all the way. Jthink it's only right to support your school every way you cant fdr'dn't understand football that much at the beginning ofthe year, but since Hook it upon myselfto learn about it, Hound out that it's a pretty excitinggame. If I had to givejust one reason for coming to the games, I'd say it's the feeling of excitement inside of me. Ithink this school's a really great one! t tsharon Stein
