They also taught us marching techniques such as turns and formations, said sophomore Kim- berly Bridgers. During our free time we met girls from other schools and watched the dances they brought to camp. We got lots of new ideas from them because they did different things than we did. Each school could take a routine to camp and compete for trophies. P.A. won one of three trophies given. But in spite of long hours, the girls enjoyed being on drill team. Being on drill team is fun because I can show my spirit for Pulaski Academy, said senior Shelley Cary. I love the thrill of dancing and being in front of people, added sophomore Katherine, Blackmon. Along with practicing during the day before school started, the cheer- leaders and drill team members got to serve Kool-Aid to the football players during their breaks. It gave us something to look forward to during two-a-days, said sophomore Byron Brooks. You Say Spirit 32.Student Life Hang on tight.

ll oing out and supporting my team makes me feel good, said freshman Kelly Hyde. Kelly and other junior high cheer- leaders also went to camp to get ready for the football season, but most of the dances for the junior high drill team were choreographed by Caroline Frye, captain, and Wesley Massey, co- captain. Everyone is good friends, and we have a good time together, said Caroline. Meanwhile the Pep Club, which gave girls in seventh and eighth grades a chance to get involved in creating spirit, had grown to almost 100 members. The cheerleaders and drill teams weren't the only ones cheering at the games. On Friday nights in September and October, the P.A. football game was the place to go. Students spent days getting caravans to go to away games. On home game nights it was hard to find a seat in the stands. Greg Bell, senior football player, said, It peps us up and makes us want to perform better to hear all those people yelling. As basketball season rolled around, so did the crowds. Sometimes people would be left to stand in the lobby because there weren't enough seats, and when the gym was that full the noise would really make the house rock. Sheldon Smith, senior basketball player, said, It's a psychological benefit, because it's helpful emotionally to a team to hear positive reactions from the crowd when they do something well. It helps to know other people are also behind you in reaching your goal of winning. As the seasons winded down the stands cleared out, and not a voice or a yell was heard. But the spirit was still there just the same.
