December 5, 1957 School Pep - What happened? What happened to Collins? What is happening to our spectators? What happened to our cheering section? What has happened to that old spunk, fun, etc., that everyone used to have? Both our basketball teams got off to a rather bad start, but did they stop fighting? No. What about our spectators? The team that is being defeated needs to feel that the people are still behind them and will be there yelling again next time.
