This question is heard quite often in the halls of M.C.H.S. during football and basketball seasons. Everyone loves a good pep assembly. Students get the awaited opportunity to skip classes and show their spirit through yelling and screaming cheers. Not only are pep assemblies known for being fun, but they also tell so much about the spirit of our school. Individuals pull together to form a strong, solid group. The sophomores, juniors, and seniors compete against each other for points in cheers and games. These spirit games build togetherness and a need to win throughout the school. Peo- ple were eager to participate in the festivities. The M.C.H.S. Football Team gathered in front of the student body and led the school in the “U-RAH-RAH” cheer. This cheer will never sound the same again after hear- ing a large group of spirited foot- ball players TRYING to sing it! The seniors created a good feel- ing for the class of ’88 when they defeated the sophomores and juniors with a game score of 36. Included in the day’s events were scooter races, pie eating contests, tug-of-war, the orange pass, and a race to push a ball along a clothesline using only your hot air! The cheerleaders performed several skits. The most popular skit involved a cheerleader dressed as Mr. War- kentein. The pep assemblies definitely served their purpose of spread- ing spirit and enthusiasm as the football team went on to easily win M.C.H.S’s 1987 Homecom- ing game against Richmond. Yes, “pep” was the key word in developing a winning spirit and creating an atmosphere of enthusiasm and excitement. 16 ACTIVITIES
