First Rally Sparks Football Spirit The first rally took place on the front lawn of Boulder High. It started with the cheerleaders performing a dance to the accompaniment of the pep band. The crowd was large, with almost the whole student body present, but subdued. The new cheers and poms seemed just a little nervous at first, but the panther, Ken Furman, and the senior women helped to loosen up the crowd. Furman proceeded to introduce the fall sports teams and the captains and coaches of the football team. Scott Desmarais, Roger Schmutz, and Scott Pancost, tri-captains, addressed the audience with some encourag- ing words, and the pep band, cheers, and poms took over to close the rally with musical entertainment. The first home football game drew as big a crowd and well deserved it. The team beat Heritage, 34-23, in a game exciting to players and fans alike. The substantial win climaxed a spirited day and started the season on a high note. Curious BHS students gather on the front lawn for the traditional outdoor rally on September 4 Coach Dennis Dee gives a speech supporting a bored BHS football team. 12 First Pep Rally 411 Varsity cheerleaders close the first rally in an elaborate pile-up formation.

The Boulder Rocky Mountain High Former cheerleaders Nancy Gates, Jackie Ross, Mary Emily Preston, Dianne Thomsen, and Kellie Huxman join the current cheerleaders at the Homecoming game to cheer on their favorite team. With all eyes riveted on the speaker, many students come out of the woodwork for the first pep rally. Contrary to popular belief, Boulder High students occupied themselves in ways other than studying, studying, and studying. On occasion, the whole school took a breather to attend a pep rally or an assembly. After school, work seemed more like play when its purpose was to pull off a play production or to plan a Homecoming week that would be fun for everybody. Sports events provided outlets not only for the participating athletes, but also for the crowd which put out almost as much energy cheering and encouraging the teams. Students had lives off-campus too. Many held jobs at local businesses, and some participated in community activities such as singing in youth choirs, running in fun runs, volunteering at hospitals, and fighting drug abuse.
