Vincentk pep rallies Loyal Vincentites, Nancy Swartzman, Denny Sykes, Todd Silverling, Bill Neumaier, Jane Salzer, and Bob Johnston portray the Bradford farmers and sing the football team on to victory during an enthusiastic rally. The warm spirit and hearty enthusiasm of every Vincent student is apparent during a pep rally. Every person feels a sense of unity as he cheers along with his fellow students and his teachers to boost the team on to victory. There is no doubt that We,ve got the pep- Who can help but have fun when they are enter- tained by Mr. Porsch and the band, the Rockettes, the twirlers, the boy and girl cheerleaders, and guest fac- ulty speakers. Of course, no out of town game rally would be complete without Mr. Humphrey and his map to send us off on the best route. Combined with the student emcees, the hilarious skits and the multitude of voices, one must admit the pep rallies are a high point of our high school career and will always be remembered. Opal Breese and old Colonel Strong Vincent, Jim Marsh and Chip Wallis, take time out from a parchisi game to come back to their old alma mater during the Harborcreek pep rally. Vincent's own Three Stooges, Tina Steele, Lynda Braine, and Janis Sachli cheer the Red and Black on to another victory as they demonstrate Vincent football plays during the Academy pep rally.

1 Michelle Moore, Martha Schultz, Mike Grimm, Dave Stout, Richard Scrafford, and Dan Johnson were presented with a certificate of merit in recognition of becoming finalists in the National Merit Scholarship competition. This honor was earned by less than one percent of all seniors in the United States. Vincent has six merit finalists During assemblies, hootenannies and the variety show held last spring, the students of Strong Vincent enjoyed the singing of the Martinettes. Shown entertaining during Trapped are Cindy Brown, Cheryl Horton, and Barbara Williams. A debate for the mock election was held during a November q assembly program. These students gave speeches about the candidates for President and Vice President of their choice, followed by a question and answer period. Jim Marsh, Denny Sykes, and Maureen McClure, served the Goldwater and Miller committee, while John West, Mike Grimm, and Pat Mastery represented the Johnson and Humphrey committee. Linda Robins served as moderator in the somewhat heated debate. 23

reflect a sense of unity Emcee for the Prep rally, John Suesser, makes a dashing entrance down the auditorium aisle as the pep rally is about to begin. Dressed in a Roman toga he claims to be Caesar who has come to help the Red and Black score another victory. Our own SVHS peacock, Denny Carlson, struts proudly across the stage. He is letting the audience know that they are about to see the New Castle Rally in color, and how proud he is of Vincent's team. The swaying elms, Jim Roehm and Jean Reister, bend purposely to beat the running sap of Harborcreek, Jerry Munn. It seems as though the whispering breeze was trying to say there would be another glorious victory for Vincent, and a defeat for Harborcreek. 25
