Gone? Why aren't there more Pep Assemblies is the question alot of students ask. The main reason is because of lack of participation. Out of approximately 800 students, barely 200 show up for the few assemblies we do have and the ones who do come want to leave early. Do we have to lock the gym doors until it's time to leave? In 1978 Pep Assemblies were only for the Cheerleaders, Pep Club members and Ball Players. They decided that the team needed more spirit. Also, the lack of students for spirit week has been greatly increasing. While the Teachers become more involved the students become less involved. Now even the Band and Chorus concerts have been taken away. Pep Assemblies, Band Concerts, and other professional assemblies are a privilege. When the Student Body fails to participate they are cancelled. The more we participate the more we can participate in. ?
