One of the favorite cheers was “Eight plus eight equals sixteen, all for the bulldogs stand up and lean.” Donna Gregory, James Bourbois, and Miss Bulldog (Tracy Vaughan) show the students how to lean. To begin the pep assemblies, the drummers started at the back of the auditorium and worked their way up to the front to join the rest of the pep band. Edward Prieto, Robert Fleming, Greg Ballard and Troy Workman lead the student body in a spirit raising cadence. As an added attraction, Jason Wall and his band enter- tained during an assembly. Jason delights the students with “You Give Love a Bad Name.” Other band members were David Smith, Greg Ballard and Tim Fierro.

Anticipation, that is what Georgetta Martin and her escort Mike Smith feel as they wait on the sidelines for the homecoming festivities to begin. In just a moment their names will be called, and they will walk onto the field in front of a packed home crowd. After the big win in the football game, the students had even more reason to celebrate, and they did just that at the dance that followed the game Ann Wilson and Don Cope get the beat and enjoy themselves. At first she had a hard time believing what she had just heard come over the loud speaker. Priscilla Guerra's escort Chuck Hansen doesn’t quite know what to say either. J4omecom inq 15

One-man percussionists and vocalists were known as rappers. At the students' request, Freddie Tate performs his rap at an assembly. Freddie Tate The greatest thing about assemblies is that they get me all fired up! It really seemed to make every week so great! To see the students and the faculty stand up and clap hands, made us want to win every game just for them. What I enjoyed most, though, were the skits. They showed from week to week somehting different. It’s really great to see all the talent we have at our school. We have the best cheerleaders around, an awesome student body, a good drama group and a great faculty. Our uniqueness as a school was expressed at every assembly and every game as we joined hands for the alma mater. It not only makes us feel good inside, but it makes us feel we are one. This is what makes an awesome school! riday fever SrincjS Spirit to the Surface “Let us go early so we can get a good seat,” students begged teachers before the Friday assembly. Once the bell rang, they hurried out of their classes and gathered in the auditorium ready to raise the roof with Bulldog spirit. Everyone, seated in their designated places, leaped to their feet and began clapping to the beat of the drums. The drums were played by Craig Boots, David Ray, Edward Prieto, Steve McClure, Jeff Dion, and Tim Solis. Next came the skits when the Bulldogs took on all sorts of enemies and always won. “My favorite part of the assemblies is the skits, because they tend to add a little spice to the assemblies in the fact that they vary from week to week,” said Wayne Heath. Yells including the “Battlecry” and “Go-Big- Blue” brought out the class competition. “It’s really great because you get to laugh at the sophomores when they mess up, said Shan- non Stephens. “It was awful at the first assembly when we sophomores didn’t do Battlecry right and we turned around,” said Jill Story. Kayla Ford said,“The seniors may be the smallest class, but dynamite comes in small packages and we make ourselves heard.” Chris Smith said, “I think sophomores need to sit in the front so we can be heard better.” With the Blue Crew and the Six Pack in the front, the students join hands to close the assembly with the alma mater.
