Hornet football players show their enthusiasm during the school song. The raised finger Brenda Loftis really gets down and gets means 1. into a yell. Pep Rallies Boost Student Body Interest Pep rallies of 1978 left nothing to be desired by Hornet fans, students and faculty. Cheerleaders, band and Stingerettes led the enthusiastic student body at the regular Friday afternoon sessions and a few special basketball pep rallies. Other than the regular gatherings on Fridays, there was a surprise rally on Hornet Circle before the Palestine game to build up spirit. The traditional bonfire before Homecoming gave fans another chance to cheer and the Homecoming parade ended in still another pep rally. | | Senior cheerleader Kerry Harvey shows | her spirit and leads the student body through still another pep rally.
