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.

Sneaky Fitch was the viain in this west- ern spoof, and due to a terrible misunderstanding he was left in charge of the town.
