Break dancers move to the motivating motown music while the Interested crowd looks on. The pressures of the students diminish while the cafeteria comes alive with exhilarating music. Joel Gable and Katie Tihanyi share a romantic moment during a slow dance at the first after game dance. A break dancer attracts the crowds attention with break- ing abilities and difficult maneuvers.

 Dance Hall Days Dancing to the current hits, tak- ing to old friends, and making new ones became a popular way for Mustangs to have fun this past year at the dances held in the cafeteria. In addition to the students en- joyment, proceeds from many of the dances helped sponsoring clubs achieve goals set by their members. Publicity, decorations, good music and a variety of D.J.'s were just part of the hard work and planning that went into each dance. However, members of sponsoring clubs were rewarded for their efforts by enthusiastic re- sponses in attendance. All in all, dances were a place where students became better acquainted with other students. Dances also helped students to unwind from the pressures of the past week. Dances gave fresh- men a chance to become better acquainted with some of the Mus- tangs over-flowing population. Dances were held so students could enjoy themselves for one night and not have to worry about homework assignments due Mon- day. Dances proved to be a big suc- cess throughout the school year. Students enjoyed the freedom the dances gave them. Design by Kirsten Bednorz. Photos by Andy Phelps.

Rallies Launch Spirit Round em' up. Round em' up. Go! Go! Go! The fight song was just one of the many spirit raisers. It made everybody feel excited and promoted spirit throughout the spectators. But the fight song wasn't the only thing that rounded up the spirit. The pep rallies had a tot to do with it. Rounding up the crowd was what made the spirit explode, and that's exactly what the rallies did. Maybe you remember the little dog running on the football field while the pom line was performing with the intention to steal the show, or maybe you remember the whole school singing the fight song with emphasis just so that Mr. Walsh would receive a pie in the face. But whatever you may re- member about the pep rallies, they were always exciting and full of enthusiasm. Seasonal sports, pom, and cheer were on hand to get the crowd on their feet. Spirit Commis- sioner Buffy Brown was also there to hype everybody up. Audience participation was also a stimulat- ing way to arouse the student body, with their peers cheering them on. A large majority of the student body agreed that the pep rallies were fun and amusing, but then again, what better way can you think of to be excused from class. Design by Janette Kelly.
