Superstar Chant Enlivens Pep Rallies Pep Rallies Falcons are Superstars! We ' re number one and we know we are! The chant was heard in the halls, in the cafeteria, and on buses. But it was really loud during pep rallies as spirit¬ ed students echoed the words through the gym. The pep rallies were held during both football and basketball sea¬ sons. They gave Falcon fans the chance to voice their support for the team. The cheerleaders worked hard making signs and preparing skits honoring individual team members.

He apparently succeeded and the audience saw some real changes in the spin ster before the end of the play. 20
