Dazzling the crowds with their exciting performance at the wrestling Pep As- sembly is the Beaver Pep Band. Pep Assemblies had a couple of changes this year. After delib- erating the subject Ac- tivities Director Norm Stubbs de- cided to . move Pep Expressing his child like glee about his volleyball team, Mr. Dan Thomas hangs on tight to his bal- loons so they don’t float away. Making a long and touch- ing speech, Todd Eberline accepts the beloved Spirit Stick for the Pep Band members. Assemblies to the B.W. Lodge Gym in- stead of holding them in the Audito- rium. This change was made in the mid- dle of the school year. Most of the Pep Assemblies have yelling contests and some of them are based on differ- ent class activities. Student Council sponsored a ‘Spirit Chain’ before Boys Basketball Divisionals. The Chain was made up of links of different colors for each class. Students bought links, 1 for $.25 or 3 for $.50 and the class with the largest number of links won. The Sophomore class yell- ed en- 0 -JC. O o o ' Come As You Are t—a— 0 0 n o a o 0 o » o o %

kept entertained by the use of music and famous television and screen per- sonalities. “I thought it was great,” said Junior Don Williams. The Christmas Assembly was fun and exciting this year with the annual Lip-Sync Contest. The Contest was done to the theme of the game show, Jeopardy. The three students who played contestants were Seniors Mike Warner and Julia Marchesseault and Ju- nior Sue Ankeny. These people helped the flow of the assembly move along with their hysterical answers to ques- tions concerning high school students and faculty. The Contest was a tie with the Teachers and the Student Council as the winners. The Teachers, includ- ing Mr. Bob Pebbles. Mrs. EB Rebish, Mr. Leonard Ostwalt, and Mrs. Janie Petersen dazzled the crowds with their rendition of Silhouettes. The Student Council, made up of six students, Blair Boetticher. Kami Benson. Kevin Dono van. Kirsten Wilkerson. Brent Conklin and Steve Jonasen, kept the audience rolling in the aisles with their perfor- mance of, I Want To Sing And Dance. Frank (Frog) Hull visited our school to give a motivational speech to the students. The speech was to help stu- dents realize and appreciate what they have and use it accordingly. Being the sensational comedian that he is, he made the assembly a lot more fun than just making it sound like a boring speech. “What I like best about the assem- blies is that you can go in there and have loads of fun without having to sit there and scream your lungs out the whole time,” said Sophomore Kori Lawson. Non-pep assemblies offer great times and fun for all where friends can get together and unwind from the usu- ally boring days of school. —5— 4 0 Non-pep Assemblies i

 thusiastically when it was announced they had won the ’Spirit Chain’ contest and the Spirit Stick. The varsity cheer- leaders used the chain to get the bas- ketball fans in the mood for Divisionals in Butte. Sophomore yell leader Shari Kalsta remarked, “Wow! It was prime! I couldn’t really believe that we had finally pulled through and supported our own class! Even though it wasn’t for yelling the loudest it still felt good to win it! 1 think that we could win a yelling contest- I know personally that there’s some pretty loud people in the Sopho- more class!” During the wrestling Pep Assembly the traditional class cheers were start- ed by the Pep Band. And with their cheer “P-E, P-E-P, P-E-P-B-A-N-D. PEP BAND!” they won the Spirit Stick for the first time. There were Pep Assemblies for foot- ball, girls basketball, boys basketball, volleyball, and wrestling. The first Pep President of Student Council Kevin Dono- van, who is responsible for opening Pep As- semblies, discusses last minute details with cheerleader Lori Yeager. Assembly of the year introduced the Beaver football teams and the girls bas- ketball teams. The first Pep Assembly held in the B.W. Lodge Gym was for the varsity wrestling team before they headed to the State Wrestling Tournament. The next Pep Assembly was held for the boys basketball squad before they ad- vanced to Divisionals. The last Pep As- sembly of the year was for the girls volleyball team before they went to divisionals. Volleyball Coach Dan Thomas got the crowd on to their feet with his enthusiasm. Team captain, Cync e Ferris, presented Coach Thom as flowers and a balloon that said “You’re the Greatest,” to show their appreciation. Beaverhead County Pep assemblies are a little frightening to people who have never seen them before. But they end up loving them after all.
