Get fired up! That was the morn- ing call on the day of a Bradley Rally, and fired up we got. True, seniors were usually more spirited that the juniors and the juniors more than the sophomores, but that had always been the case. Still, pep rallies were welcomed by all. A rally was a time of en- tertainment, relaxation, and exci- tation. The most exciting addition to Bradley's stadium rally was toilet paper. These soft cylinders of fluff could be seen zooming across the stands onto the field with regular- ity. Along with huge bags of con- fetti, bathroom tissue was a real spirit builder. KZ106 was greeted after the Ooltewah game to honor Marc Taylor. The great rally was marred by a ver- bal ''open-mouth-insert-foot'' blunder While her fellow cheerleaders enjoy a breather.

Melvin Swafford often played pranks on the underclassmen or led the seni- ors in an awesome ear-piercing shout. As always no pep rally was com- plete without an eager Bradley band blasting out Rocky Top, and the cheerleaders doing one of their scin- tillating routines. Nor could one forget the second annual Kiss-a-Pig contest won (or lost) by Coach Bob Zvolerin. Unquestionably the Bradley Rally was certainly a time for Bradley's tra- ditional spirit to shine. Special thanks had to go to the cheerleaders, band members, coaches, and players who made the rallies special and exciting. Playing Pin the tail on the baby.

We've got that S, that P, I-R-I-T! There's nothing like that Bradley Spirit and Pride! One time of the year when we all showed our school spirit was during Biadley Cleveland week which was also our annual spirit week! We started off the week on Tuesday with 50's Day. Girls were dressed in poodle skirts, saddle oxfords and bob- by socks, and the guys strutted about in rolled-up blue jeans and penny loafers. Wednesday was Country Day, which as usual was a big success. Nearly everybody pulled on his old, faded jeans or overalls with his flannel shirt and cowboy boots. Thursday was Grub Day and we all dressed up in our special version of a ''Cleveland Raider . Friday was perhaps the most pop- Doing their imitations of Cleveland girls during Bradley Cleveland week are Amy Conley, An- drea Griffey, and Jennifer Price. ular of all of Spirit Week. All Seniors were to wear white, all juniors wore gold, and all sophomores wore black. Not only was everyone dressed in school colors, but it was also big shoe day. Another activity that went on during the week was the door competition. All of the homerooms decorated their doors. Best Door was awarded to Mrs. Calfee's class. Most Original Door was won by Mrs. Renner's class, and Mrs. Lackey's class won Best Effects. Highlighting the week was our pep rally. Cheers could be heard for miles away as our 2000 Bears chanted, and confetti and toilet paper filled the air. Surprising the student body with their guest ap- pearance, the California Raisin and Spuds McKenzie react with disbelief when the football players miss an easy question. Miss Raisin was none other than Nikki McGowan and Spuds was portrayed by Bob Tarver. Oo-la-la! He is fine!
