Spirit Reaches New Peaks Autumn 1978 was a season of foot- ball games, pep rallies, and the conta- gious Ram spirit. Banners proclaiming Victory lined the halls, as well as the brightly decorated lockers of the football play- ers. Bandoleras, cheerleaders, and pep squad members helped to pro- mote a climax of enthusiasm as Berk- ner students and faculty gathered in the boys' gym to cheer the Rams on to victory. The Ram band joined in with a triumphant march through the halls on one occasion and minispep rallies in the cafeteria on numerous others. Spirit was at its peak by the time the mighty Rams entered into battle against rival teams each Friday night. 20
