 1 Rumbles Entertain Dance Enthusiasts Loud music, a large crowd and a variety of dance tech- niques provided the atmo- sphere for the first 1978 Wildcat Rumble. The dance, held in the school cafeteria, Jan. 7, fol- lowed the Green River basket- ball game. Sponsored by the Pom-Pon girls, the dance was a big success bringing in a profit of approximately $130. Pro- ceeds went to sponsoring the girls at games and tournaments out of town. Unlike a junior high school dance, where dancing was still a timid form of entertainment, these students seemed to do their own thing on the dance floor. While some gracefully swayed from side to side, oth- ers were up one side of the floor and down the other; by the third song of the evening it was more than obvious those individuals to be avoided. The dance lasted from ap- proximately 8:00 to 12:00 p.m., and though it all seemed to go by quickly, students could look forward to the next Wildcat Rumble. 18 Dance

Pep Assemblies Boost Wildcat Spirit As the bell rang, students ran eagerly to the gymnasium. The closer to the door, the louder the voices. Classes started yell- ing individual cheers but it soon became silent as the Pom-Pon girls presented the flags. Action soared with Dra- ma Club presenting skits, and the cheerleaders teaching new cheers. Highlights of past as- semblies included the winter assembly, proving which win- ter sport had the most versatil- ity. The athletes ran an obsta- cle course of sommersaults, cartwheels, walking over a sus- pended board and even twist- ing a hoola-hoop. Reggie Ever- ett hustled through the course and won the event in a smash- ing 25 seconds. The highlight of the hour concluded the assembly-the spirit competition. Sopho- mores, juniors and seniors competed in voice and spirit to see who would capture the spirit stick for the week. 1. Michelle Hunter and Cindy Cross sing out to the tune of the National Anthem . 2. Reggie Everett does the hula-hoop for competition. 3. Pam Bonella, Gary Doyal and Jay Goza pro- crastinate. 4. Runners David Birch, Scott Rounds, Jim Roadifer and Chris Newby sing their pep Song. 5. Kathy Calvert and Lori Weese guide Kim Kearns, Jim Etzler and Mike Mudry turning Lori Braa, Ronnie Reed and Mike Stone into Foxy Wildcats. 17
