The reason for this was an Aurora Central pep assembly. Sam Hew- son, science teacher, always ran into the gym excited and ready to perform, l'm never expecting what Mr. Hewson will do next, said senior Tonya Shear. The cheerleaders showed their spirit also, the crowd started to get rowdy and the assembly began. The kids are the ones that get me fired up! said Hewson. ln re- turn the students reacted. Mr, Hewson promotes so much spirit in us, said Senior Heather Sel- lars. He introduced many skits, competitions, sports in season and any awards throughout the entire 40 minutes of each assem- bly. During the assemblies, there were many certain main events. In the October pep asembly, some of the boys' football team portrayed whistling pigmies, with stomachs painted as faces and shortened pants. They froliced around the gym and whistled to the beat ofthe music. On the De- cember 13th assembly, the main attraction was the all-star wres- tling match performed by some of the school staff, including Tony VanGytenbeek, Steve Rath, John Green and Tony Davis. Central's pep assemblies were so extraordinary that others rec- ognized them. During the De- cember 13th assembly, Channel 9 News heard and then taped the assembly for their evening news- cast. Other schools came to Au- rora Central to the assemblies to see the action for themselves, and to improve their pep assem- blies. There was always the part when all of the school got rowdy. This was the class competition. First, the freshman, with, Fresh- man, freshman, don't be shy, stand and give your battle cry, V- I-C-T-O-R-Y, that's our freshman battle cry! and on up through the sophomore, junior, and sen- ior classes - each cheering for class competition ruler. The first pep assembly of the year, the sophomores took the competi- tion. There were four teachers along with Mr. Hewson judging the competition along with his all-knowing spirit stick . Class competition did not end with the spirit stick, there were other class competitions. During the first pep assembly in Octo- ber, there was the bubble blow- ing contest. The first class to blow a bubble with a fresh piece of bubble gum would be the vic- tors. With each class that com- peted, everyone got into the con- test and got involved as part of the school. There is a lot of time and effort put into the organization of every pep assembly by Hewson. I go home and think of ideas the kids might enjoy, said Hewson. The entire school benefits' from the immense work put into each as- sembly. ln each assembly we ex- pressed our school spirit, we had fun, and thanks to a little item known as the assembly schedule, we got out of each class early on these days! - by Liane Gould Pep Assemblies
