Pep Rallies Come Alive A Enthusiasm Sears Funny skits, lively music, twirling batons, pep talks, chants, and yells boosted the spirit and excitement of pep rallies. To win the contest for a free lunch hour, each class was determined to prove it was best through signs, yelling and overall participation. Students and teachers alike participated in the pep rallies. During Lee week, pep rallies on the patio, a snake dance through the halls, a special pep rally on Thursday night, and the decorating of doors built up the momentum and spirit for the competition with the crosstown rivals. Overwhelming enthusiasm helped make the Lee pep rally the most memorable one of all.

hi frxfgif Cheerleaders Generate Winning Spirit Keep-That-Spirit-Up- Say-Keep-That-Spirit-Up! That was exactly what the cheerleaders did. They sold ribbons, pins, bumper stickers, and football schedules. Along with leading the crowd in yells and chants, the hard-working cheerleaders painted signs, prepared pep rally skits, and decorated buses and lockers for the athletes. During the summer, practice was held every morning at 6:30 to help prepare them for the season ahead. The cheerleaders attended Stephen F. Austin Cheer- leading Clinic, where they won two superior ribbons, two excellent ribbons, and an award of excellence for being a superstar cheering squad. Ms. Jana Humphrey also put in a lot of hard work in her first year as cheerleader sponsor. Above Left: Donna Slayton, Senior. Center Left: Karen Williams, Senior. Left: Melissa Boggio, Senior.
