Togal No, it's not John Beiushi, but Bolles' very own Seniors. The Seniors, dressed in homemade togas, held a parade before the Homecoming Pep Rally on Nov. 3. The pep rally, which took place in the gym, was a mixture of cheering and rioting. Flolls of toilet paper and frisbees were thrown through the air. Several skirmishes erupted on the gym floor, despite the cheerleaders' attempts to keep order. But at the end, the Freshman class was awarded the spirit stick by cheerleader Bridget Thompson. We were confident we would win the game, said Ninth grader Sarah Alexander, So we had a reason to get fired up. This pep rally was one of the many held on campus by the Varsity, Junior Varsity, and Junior High cheerleaders. They were held in order to boost student spirit and player morale for all sporting events. These also gave students a chance to display some of the rivalry prevalent among classes. The upper and lower schools also held many dances throughout the year. The first, held at the beginning of school, featured the band Myra and gave students a chance to get to know each other. Then at Homecom- ing, the band was Saphire and featured one of Bolles' students, Jeff Wachholz, on drums. The pep rallies and dances that were held at Bolles provided welcome breaks in the routine of school. With the help of student participation, it proved to be a successful year. ,.

With literally something for everyone, students and staff alike found resisting the Homecoming spirit difficult, and by Friday, when Western Day, complete with Bar-B-Q cookouts was held, clearly the whole school had been arrested by the Homecoming craze.
