ln the fall rallies, MHS's new Student Center was the focus of a reinvigorated school spirit. Capacity crowds of lively students contributed to the rallies' success. As a new spirit-grabbing feature, each class was assigned to one of the four corners of the building. By using this new seating arrangement, devised by Rally Commissioner Dean Handy, the organization and enthusiasm of class yells improved over previous years. The class yells were a popular part of each rally where students had the chance to use their lung-power to exhibit their superiority over the other classes. The rivalry sharpened as class competition revealed itself in balloon blowing, banana eating, and pencil dropping. Stuffing students in refrigerator boxes was the high point of the Marysville vs. Lindhurst Rally. One of the few rallies not held in the Student Center was the freshman rally. Highlighting the frosh rally on November 4 was an egg-catching contest which quickly disintegrated into an egg-throw among a few rowdy seniors. The memorable Homecoming Rally, held in the football stadium following the Homecoming Parade, presented a procession of immodest males marching around in their underdrawers and football helmets. MHS Band and Pep Squad performed at every rally, adding an unmistakable sparkle to each of the fall rallies. 1 7 i A - . ..:.' i't'21iiE' f 'f .W S ' Y, , l:.f11v.li.-'ii M'-2 alsl .
