It might have something to do with the super athletics and fantastic coaches that Rocky has a reputation for. Spirit is a well known tradiion during the Homecom¬ ing week. Whether it be red and gold, hats and shades, nerd and clash, or hawaiin day students here at The Rock are anxious to participate. Basketball season is surely the most spirited time of the year. Recently, Rocky students have formed a group that is devoted to boosting the moral of the entire fieldhouse. Yes, of course, the Fun Bunch. You know the ones that have such cheers as A-Boom- Chic-A-Boom , or You ugly ' ' . The Fun Bunch is un¬ doubtedly full of spirit! There is nothing quite as memor able as high school years, especially when they are filled with school spir¬ it. Backing your school not only helps out the players but also gives the school a nice and respectable reputation of having students that back their school.

Brad Loveless and Michele Young received the title of prince and princess this year. Good times Homecoming 1987, as always, was a success at Rocky. The assembly, parade, game and dance were filled with laughter and excitement. The second string cheerleaders gave an outstanding performance. The faculty pyramid proved teachers have a lot of spirit too. A first for Rocky was the best kisser contest, where several stu dents Judged the kisses planted on them. When their blindfolds were taken off they found the kissers to be their mothers! Wipe Out, Jailhouse Rock, and Great Balls of Fire was the combination of songs to which the cheerleaders delighted the audience. The climax of the assembly was the announcement of the 1987 royalty. The parade was great with the seniors and juniors tying for first place float awards. The homecoming game was close and exciting but ended in defeat during the last seconds. Everyone, however, still had a great time at the dance on Saturday night to finish off and make Homecoming 1987 a great success. Student Life 9
