School Spirit
Contest Is
Underway Now
Put on your basketball cheering
clothes, and yell your class to
victory!
An interclass contest originated
by the college cheerleaders is cur-
rently underway to determine
which Panola College class has the
greater amount of school spirit.
Banners emphasizing the contest
have been hung in the halls of the
administration building and in the
Student Center by cheerleaders
Margaret Downing, Anne Rhodes,
Fern Mangham, Martha Knight,
and Neva Davidson. Student coun-
cil members are aiding with the
work.
Rules of the contest have been
announced. Every student who at-
tends the next four basketball
games is to sign the attendance
roster at the gate with his classi-
fication following his name.
The class with the greater per-
centage of attendance will win,
and will be honored at an all-
school party. Door prizes will be
awarded to two students who have
attended the games. Names will be
placed in the box for drawing after
each game, so that the student who
attends each game will have four
chances of winning a prize.
The date for the party will be an-
nounced later, according to Mar-
garet Downing, cheerleader.
