RIGHT: The sophomores ' winning tug-of-war team puts all its might into pulling the juniors over the victory line. Pep assembly ?! Who said there was a pep assembly today? 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

Even though there was no snow on the ground, many people showed up at the annual Christmas parade with lots of spirit. All of the kids awaited the arrival of Santa Claus at the end of the parade, and he promised them all they would get what they asked for. The parade started out with many floats, followed by the Marine City High School Marching Mar- iners, the spirited cheerleaders and the Snow Court. At the end of the parade was what everyone was waiting for . . . Santa Claus. We hope that the Christmas spirit carries on through the years with this tradition. 18 ACTIVITIES ABOVE: Mickey Mouse and Minnie ABOVE: Ho Ho Ho , says Santa as he Mouse are helping these three chil- promises to give everyone what they dren find Santa Claus in the parade. want for Christmas.
