Pep Assemblies Charge Spirit Spirit, spirit and more spirit over- tlowed at pep assemblies in an effort to fire up the football team. Some parts of the pep assembly are traditional. The lights go out as Com- misioner of Pep, Debbie Garland, wel- comes everyone. Next follows the in- troduction of Coach Workman and the outstanding Charger football team. Each pep assembly concluded with class competition as the seniors and sophomores battled for the Spirit Stick award. Those were just the traditional parts of the pep assembly, but there was always something special planned. The funniest skit was performed at the Fountain Valley pep assembly. A kiss- ing skit was performed where six foot- ball players were blindfolded and told they were going to be kissed by a pep- ster. They were actually kissed by their mothers. Another skit that went over well with the crowd was the pepsters ' bus skit. Outstanding performances at the as- semblies were given by the Drill Team to Coming Up, Banners to the Theme from B.J. and the Bear, Pep- sters to Nothing Like It, and Song- leaders to the Theme from Swat. Thanks to the combined efforts of the Commissioner of Pep, Pepsters, Band, Banners and Drill Team, this year ' s pep assemblies were quite a success. The Drill Team (above) cheers as they await the Homecoming pep assembly to begin. J.V Cheerleader Shaun Partridge faftovej helps the sophomores get ready for class competition. 16 Pep Assemblies

Debbie Garland (below) rushes to bring order to the confusion in the tug-of-war. Seniors Dominate Monday, October 13, marked the beginning of a traditionally fun-filled week. Every year the week before Homeconning is designated as Spirit Week. This year ' s Spirit Week partici- pants took part in such activities as a porkout race, toilet paper-mummy wrap, suitcase race, egg toss, and tug- of-war. The week was dominated by the seniors who won every event with the exception of a tie in the tug-of-war. This event was the highlight of the week. On Friday, the week was con- cluded with a spirit-packed pep as- sembly. The object of Spirit Week is to unite the school as well as psyche up foot- ball players and fans alike. The out- standing senior Spirit Week team con- sisted of such members as Rich Ro- meo, Stephanie Cardullo. Dean Fari- fax, Dave Steeman, Vicki Churchward, Kim Ramlow, Shari Dumity, and Tina Inman. These people, along with the participants from the other classes, were a key part in building the Home- coming spirit and making Spirit Week a success. In the thick of things, Doug Biancur (left) wres- tles to get out of the mud. Pulling fto a victory in the tug-of-war (above) are Rich Romeo and David Reynolds, Spirit Week 15
