Pinson Valley High School - Chieftain Yearbook (Pinson, AL)

An Explosion . . . With the beginning of each school year, comes the start of a truly excit- ing event — another football sea- son. Preceding each football game is a Friday morning activity known as the pep rally. To begin the rally, everyone yells at the top of their lungs on the open- ing cheers. As the tension builds, the football team struts to its place to the powerful tune of Hail to the Varsity. The minutes tick by and hard work becomes evident as hair begins to fail and sweat beads form on every face. Then, as the climactic moment arrives, the cheerleaders call each class for the spirit competition. Class after class takes its turn; the students rise, join as one, and mus- ter all the force they have in an attempt to win the coveted prize . . . the spirit stick. Pep rallies are very important at Pinson Valley because of the seri- ousness with which the students take them. The classes work together trying desperately to win the spirit stick. The fun they have and the experience of togetherness they gain will always be a part of Pin- son Valley.
