Pep Sessions Are For Students With both community and school pep sessions the athletes now get a double dose of spirit. Also, both students and adults get involved in school activities. The first community pep sessions were held in 1978 when the Redskin football team was on its way to winning the state championship. Mr. Resler was in charge of directing and planning for all community pep sessions. I try to involve different types of community people, stated Mr. Resler. He added, I felt the pep sessions would be a way to involve students and adults from the community and to reinforce the act that the entire community was backing the Redskins in their march for a state championship. Another community pep session was held in honor of the girls' basketball and boy's wrestling teams. The turn out was small and it left some players with nega- tive feelings, but others were glad for the recognition. I appreciated itg it made me feel good that they cared enough to have it. It was the first pep session held for a girl's sport. I guess we have to start somewhere, commented senior Sally Hunsberger. Boys' basketball coach, jim Welsh, or- ganized his own pep session for the boys' team. I want to have the responsi- bility of the success or failure of the ses- sion. In this day and age, when many students are apathetic about school spirit and loyalty, a good pep session can be very important. On the other hand, poor pep sessions can be very detrimental to school spirit. Most GHS students felt that pep ses- sions were only good to get out of class. However, students who attended athletic events seem to have more of an apprecia- tion for what the pep sessions were try- ing to accomplish. The boys' basketball team and other teams were disappointed with the stu- dent turn out at the games and hoped that the pep sessions would help get the students more involved with the game. Mr. Welsh commented, Pep sessions are not for the athletes to get prepared, practice is for that. Pep sessions are for the student body to get involved in the game. During the pep session, Doug Roth lofts toilet paper over the raftersg hundreds of feet are strewn there. - 'r-394 Linda Hall, jonell Kolb and Lori Crife put the finishing touches on the senior parking lot while showing the football team their support. The pep session for the boys' basketball team fea- tures the pyramid building contest. Senior builders are showing their winning form.
