DanCa to tde, eot i They came in various shapes and sizes and they were named things like Wiki- Waki, Mistletoe Madness, and The Turkey Bash. Needless to say, variety was the word in themes for school dances. The multi purpose room was jam packed with MoVal boogiers dancing and swaying to the rhythm. Time wise, the dances ran from 8:00 PM until 11:00 PM and usually cost around $3.50. I thought the dances were okay and sometimes even fun, especially when you were with your friends. But it would have been better if they had lasted longer and had more room to dance, comment- ed Elba Marquez.

Go MoVal! Pep rallies and assemblies were here in abundance, and all were in- vited to join in the school spirit that was drummed up. The purpose of these activi- ties was to get everyone excited, and ex- citing they were. We were enlightened by multi-image shows and special speakers, while excitement was poured into us as we were pepped up for the sporting events in season. Class competitions, cheering, music and other miscellaneous surprises were the basis of those fast paced assemblies and rallies. Dave Roevers entertained us while also getting some serious points across, like drugs aren ' t cool, suicide isn ' t the answer, and don ' t be afraid to stick to your moral standards. Friday Night Live came with their multi-image production giving warn- ing of the dangers of drinking and driving. Preaching in effect, it ' s okay with us if you want to drink and party, but you don ' t have the right to drink and drive. Pep assemblies consisted of class com- petitions, cheers, and lots of music. Mor- eno Valleys best prepared us for the big game whether it was basketball or foot- ball. We had spirit, how ' bout you? Many will be the memories of pep rallies and special assemblies and those special dou- ble second periods when we spent our time together having fun. E ven teenagers can be touched by the message of some- one who cares about their concerns. The new mascot uniform helped our Viking reach new heights. During our homecoming pep assembly toga clad men ted whipped cream to the less than elegant (at the moment ) queen candidates. leC Assemblies Rallies
