Additional pep rallies boost more, vctrieol c Serving as a multi-purpose tool for deserving projects as well as a means to motivate student support for all sports, pep rallies raised money for two of the largest Prep-involved charity functions -- Operation Others and the Pakistan drive. At a pep rally held to raise money for the Pakistan drive, the faculty performed a short skit mocking the students. Oper- ation Others also staged a fund - raising rally featuring a fight between Tony Rock Fucinaro and Tom Rock Prinz to deter- mine the true Rock . Following each performance, the char- acters returned for a curtain call, with stu- dents throwing coins at them to show approval in the form of money applause. In an exhibition for the student body, gymnastics utilized the new potential of the pep rally. Many of Coach Bayer's gym- nasts showed signs of nervousness while performing in front of a large crowd, but they did increase the student body's appre- ciation and knowledge of the sport. Broadening in scope, pep rallies suc- ceeded in becoming not only assemblies for the major sports at Prep, but also boosters for various worthy causes as well.

Modified assembly format enlightens, entertains Offering a viable alternative to study hall on a number of occasions, more in- formative assemblies broadened the Prep educational spectrum. Even the highly en- tertaining concert by the Kearney State Col- lege band gave interested students achance to enjoy classical music as well as rock. Essentially intellectual, the assemblies format featured speakers dealing with such issues as Communism, the generation gap, the draft, and undercover narcotics work. The local and national political scene also took the spotlight via separate talks by a Republican Party representative and by Congressman John Y. McCo1lister. In addition to presenting outside speakers, assemblies were also held to strengthen class unity, to allow student council candidates to air their views, and to raise money for the new activities building. Effective organization and a program broad in scope indicated that education at Prep could be obtained not only inside the classroom, but outside it as well. l Dr. Michael Pap, professor of history at John Carroll University, speaks to Prepsters about Russian prop- aganda as he shows examples in Russian newspapers.
