boosted game spirit For every home football and basketball game the cheerleaders had a pep rally to bolster the school spirit The studentbody always enjoyed the clever skits and routines the cheerleaders dreamed up. This year the cheerleaders trans- formed into cereal boxes for a snap, crackle, pop' dance and African natives for the Sky View basket- ball game. Chris Glenn and Roland Petersen especially enjoyed the girls-against-the-boys pep rally because they each received pies in the face. Mayor Zundel always aroused the student- body to victory, and the Homecoming pep rally was no exception. Festival seating was used for the first time this year, and all these rallies helped the team play well and promoted good sportsmanship to the studentbody Top right: M Adams. M Nance.

a means of expression Box Elder students enjoyed school dances as part of after school activities. The traditional Hello Dance held on September 18. started the dance calendar. The Dear Hunt Dance proved to be the hunting ground for B. E. coeds who pos- sessed hunting licenses Odin played for this stomp on October 23. Students enjoyed four other fast dances during the winter season with bands such as Soft Flight. Cimmaron. the Last Chaper. and the Soul Twisters. Student Council almost totally controlled these after-game dances. The Sounds Unlimited played for the senior-sponsored Valentine s Dance on February 12. Freshmen spon- sored the popular Sadie Hawkins dance The Bunny Hop also was a popular girls choice dance The Election Dance introduced next year s leaders, and the Purple and White ended the year with the sophomores sponsoring the graduation dance Top right.
