Pep Assemblies Grow In Spirit With More Wins. Last year the songleaders and cheerleaders worked hard to give our school an identity and pride, by preparing many pep assemblies be- fore sporting events. Even though there were fewer assemblies this year spirit picked up where it left off. and gave the school a big unifying boost Through experience this year, the teams win-loss records improved and it gave them the opportunity to attend regional and state competi- tion, and with winning came grow- ing school spirit and more involve- ment in pep assemblies The pep assemblies followed a set pattern, starting with a flag cere- mony and ending with the school pep song Sherry Butler stated that the skits were the hardest thing to plan, but somehow they were always the fun- niest. Spirit Week in January had a lot in store with Hat Day. poster competi- tion and a big assembly in the field- house on game day The assembly contained the beautiful legs con- test between classes and faculty, judged by a panel; spirit chains, class members sitting on and melt- ing blocks of ice in the hot buns con- test; school color wearing of each class, noise making, and cheering competitions between classes In the overall contest the seniors won. with the sophomores close behind, and the juniors feeling that it was all rigged The biggest turn out of the year was the night pep rally during Homecoming week The traditional burning of the A got the student- body really rowdy, and rowdy was the spirit needed to show the stu- dentbody's support of athletic teams.

Threatened Olympic Boycott By Juniors Fizzles The lighting of the torch began the Olympic games held January 17. The competitors from each class marched in procession around the gym floor, headed by their original class flag. Juniors marched proudly behind their flag, deter- mined to make up for a poor placement in an earlier competition at a pep asse- bly. All of the flags were done in school colors. The senior flag took first place with the colors black and red and the year eighty sparkling in the flags center. Competitive events included the slam dunk, an obstacle course, a tug of war, arm wrestling, a Sprite guzzle, a marsh- mallow stuff, jump rope, the best looking legs, the limbo, a jello snarf. a tube relay, and spoon stringing. One of the most rowdy events was to see which class could yell the loudest. The officers of each class came onto the floor by their section and used such things as garbage cans, drums, and pots and pans to create noise. The event was measured by a sound meter. The winners of this event were the juniors. (Who. by the way got their revenge). The defending champions, this year's sophomores (last year's freshmen) just managed to take third place this year The freshmen took fourth place, juniors second, and the reigning Olympic cham- pions were the Seniors.
