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.

36'Student Life will all f 7 All Night Long It was romantic, it was fun, it was memorable, it was a pain in the budget. Prom '84 was different things to different people. Although Prom Night was only one night, it took an entire year to prepare for. Whether you were the junior class trying to raise money to put the whole thing on,the senior class looking for freshman or sophomore dates and dresses, or the host hotel looking foward to all the money, that one year was a busy one. Without fail, Prom '84 had its share of hits and misses. Here are what the students saw as a few of them. 'Banquet : Decorated with a purple bridge at the entrance and the theme Puttin on the Ritz. 'Food : Steak and baked potato - cheesecake for dessert. 'Speakers : The juniors' speeches were short and sweet, but senior Marianne Wright's speech was unanimousuly the best part of the banquet. She included memories such as The time Mrs. IoAnn Henry put her finger in Greg Bumpass' face and said, Flunk you . 'Best Dressed : The juniors, the seniors, and Mr. Edgell. 'Dance Contest Winners : 1st place - senior Kevin Gillian and his date, 2nd place ltiel - Lisa Hoggard and her date, Amy Sterne and her date tThese two fellows gave a demonstration of break dancing.j 'Best Entertainment : Ambusch. 'Breakfast : Quiche, chocolate cake, fruit, non-alcholic Welch's sparkling grape juice, MTV. When Prom '84 was over, all that was left were wilted corsages, wringled tuxedos, sore feet and some very tired but happy kids.
