United in a Show of Spirit During 1985-86, we held many pep assemblies. Their purpose was to bring all the students together to uplift the spirit of the whole school. Though we held several pep assemblies throughout the school year, the one held before the homecoming game was one of the most exciting. Students yelled with the cheerleaders, and the seniors won spirit week. Besides getting us shorter class periods, pep assemblies raised the students spirits, and showed the teams that they were behind them all the way. Pep assemblies were a way of getting the whole student body together as one to show the teams that we really cared!
