The high school was filled with shades of black and gold. Once again, the cheerleaders decorated the players lockers with notes and streamers. Also, everyone was en- couraged by the KMSHS mascot, Walter Wade, to at- tend the game and sit in the student section. The pep club, a group of students which aims to in- crease school spirit, worked after school to make signs for the game. Mrs. Denise Buchanan is the faculty spon- sor of the pep club. David Dellinger was elected presi- dent, Stephanie Hopper -vice- president and Cynthia Ivester -secretary/treasurer. Last week they decorated the cars participating in the caravan going to Hunter Huss. Students and fans cheered the Mountaineers to victory over the Huskies of Hunter Huss. The Mounties will not play tomorrow night. But, they are preparing for next Friday night’s game against ‘the rival Shelby Lions. The tennis team defeated Crest and East Lincoln last week. Coach Suzy Holtzclaw is working the team hard to get them ready for the con- ference matches which will begin in October. The cross- country team will compete for the first time Thursday at South Point. According to Coach Steve Lazenby they will have a consistent team this year. He says the team’ Ss chances for a conference win will become apparent after the first two meets of the season. Preliminary indica- tions seem to suggest that the top cross-country female athlete in the conference will be a foreign exchange stu- dent from Sweden, Asa Nord. The KMSHS Homecoming Court has been selected for 1985. Members of the court in- clude Ashley Gossett, Patricia Jeffries, Ashley Moss, Asa Nord, and Gret- chen McHone.
