Special thanks
When you see Mrs Thompson, Jadah's grandmother
remind yourself to thank her for the football mums you wore
at Homecoming! This is a MOST tradional part of any homecoming
from about 1950 ---approx. 1990. They are still used in some
areas of the country for homecoming.
The mums were a gift from Mrs. Thompson, she had the idea
to go along with your retro uniforms! What a great idea and what
a kind thing to do , many thanks to Mrs. Thompson!

On the road again.... In a clean bus!
Last week was a fun filled week of one event coming on the very heels of another.
We did well at every event and showed brilliantly in the new retro uniforms....
even though they are not what was ordered. Debra Black has sent written confirmation
that the mismade tops will be corrected, she further verbalized this to me and to Mrs.Warner by
phone. Having said that, the comments were good about the uniforms. School Board members, alumni, and retired
faculty included. The overwhelming majority of girls on the team said they LOVED the skirts. At one point
I overheard several trying to pick out cheers " where we spin" so the circles would fan out.
The boys' uniforms were a huge success, more people than I can remember commented on
how sharp and in command the guys looked.
Many thanks to our new Capt., Miss Wade, and our new Co-Capts. Misters Lake and Morris
for their very able handling of the several duties which were delegated to them
Thursday and Friday. The continued co-operation of all team members is not only expected , but greatly
appreciated by everyone.

General comments from last week- then this week's schedule...
A few words:
generally, last week was pretty good...
HOWEVER...
1. The bus ( which wasn't really anybody's fault) was a disaster! I appreciate
how everyone tried to co-operate and make the best of a bad situation. Many
thanks to the parents ( and others) who provided ( or offered) rides home from Tullahoma.
We were blessed with heroes who stepped in to bail us out .
2. If you do not know the words or motions to the cheers on the yellow cheer board... I am not
exactly sure of what to say to you! Get with it, or be benched! (a freshman and a sophomore in particular)
if you mess up... IT ISN'T FUNNY...stop laughing about it, don't roll your eyes and throw up
your hands.. I assure you that the adults in
the crowd DO NOT think you are cute when you don't know what you are doing... You've had since MARCH!
(a sophomore ....)
3. Moving your arms and smiling IS NOT LEADING CHEERS!
Quit doing that! "I'm tired, I don't feel well, oh- I wasn't thinking" does not make a difference...CHEER! If you don't
like something that has happened (or not happened) it isn't your place to get mad and pouty and not cheer! I will
see to things that I feel aren't going well--you aren't the coach!
(a senior, a freshman, a sophomore)
4. If you feel that people should be careful not to speak to you in public in a way which you feel is disrespectful, and you are upset by it,
don't turn around and curse at anyone (especially a team mate) in public yourself...!
This will be addressed further this week, I assure you!
5. At tryouts I made special arrangements with a few members about sharing their
time with other activities. This is quickly becoming a problem as more and more other things seem
to be taking precidence over THE SPIRIT TEAM... ( I am NOT refering to family emergencies or illnesses).
Do not announce that you will be taking more time than aggreed on, do not add new activities at this late date to
take you away from US! We need EVERYBODY at all practices humanly possible!
I doubt seriously that this arrangement will ever be permitted again. The band, the football team, nor the basketball teams allow this.
Do not abuse it.
Tuesday- class color day
lions head uniform- practice @ CHS 3:00-home pom is learned.
Intramurals @ 7:30

home pom @ Lion Olympics ( 2nd block), outfits as discussed last week.
