Pep rallies amuse, enliven student body Pep rallies presented to students a two- sided coin. While to most they peaked spirit for a game, to some they merely meant shorter classes. For the most part, pep rallies organized by Pat Woster, Rick Sulskis, and Denny Lee relied almost entirely on the imitations and acting of Pat Woster. In an effort to raise money for Operation Others, wrestling matches between three faculty members and three varsity matmen provided a different and most entertaining pep rally. Senior grapplers Pat Waring and Randy McKay easily defeated their opponents, Mr. George Kocsis and Mr. Lynn Groff, but senior heavyweight Werner Dziuvenis found the competition of Mr. Robert Tillman, SJ, too much and fell. Basketball had its fair share of pep rallies too. Perhaps the most memorable, the Central-South pep rally, brought outstanding performances from Pat Woster, Mike Rock, Bill Martin, Marty Conboy, the Prep Row- dies, the N.A.D.S. 1National Association of Dissatisfied Seniorsb, and Fr. Daniel Laughlin, SJ. Pep rallies also focused upon spring sports, as the track, soccer, and baseball teams held a pep rally to explain the highlights and strategies of their games. Despite some student apathy, the in- creased number of pep rallies reflected the student body's willingness to support their team and their school. Towering over the cameraman, George Kocsis strives to spark school interest in his baseballers during the ex- perimental spring sports pep rally.

Leo Smith and his date find room on the crowded dance floor to move to the sounds of Wire, Summer dances on the tennis courts sometimes provide an interesting view of the outside. idwest musicians converge on Prep This year proved a good one for Prep dances. The student council dance committee did an excellent job of securing only the best groups, some traveling from Minneapolis, Detroit, Kansas City, and Lincoln to play at Prep dances. Again this year, the nationally known Brownsville Station performed an exciting concert. Everyone in attendance enjoyed the music, the group, and their antics. Many of the groups commented on the size and enthusiasm of the audiences which sometimes reached 1000 persons. Known for presenting the best entertainment in the area, Prep dances attracted teens from all over the Omaha area.
