Fight song



Could someone post the official words to the fight song here? I can do most of the 1st verse but I believe that there are 2 published in the football programs.

Believe it or not my kids think that I am a "DORK" for knowing this. At their school none of the students even know that there is a fight song. I have challenge the new principal, who went to this school to get this re-integrated into the games.

There is pride in the mascot, we are the HAYBALERS. Several national sporting publications have done articles over the years on common and unique mascots and as far as I know we always come up as unique.

Calexico Event Center




The great and wonderful Esther (if you don't know her just look for the woman in the overcoat lurking about in Calexico either taking photos of buildings or construction workers) has once again gone the extra step to provide us with photos of the new, real, ready for parties in Nov. of 2008, Calexico Event Center.

Thanks, Esther

Keep up the good work.

Bio's?

This post is to see if anyone is paying attention.....

Gina asked for a bio to post on the website with my photo. I need some guidance and/or an example from one of you as if I send in the one that I scribbled down I will be disqualified from participating on the committee and maybe even sent an invite with the wrong date!

Ha.

Good or Bad idea

If you get so far that you can read this then let me know if the blog environment is the right way for us to work.

I don't really know. But it would allow our communications to get archived with only the subject matter of reunion here.

We also need to decide who gets what kind of access and how.

Let me know what you think. I can also set it up (I think) so that everyone on the committee gets a short email letting them know that someone has posted to the blog but that might be too much.
