Perhaps there is joy in midterms, but if there is it is on the part of teachers and it is a sadistic type of joy — at least from a stu- dent’s point of view. Some students see these mind-mangling monsters as teachers’ tools of revenge for past wrongdoing by students toward them. But most students know that teachers are only doing their best to help them retain knowledge — or do they?

Pep rallies boost school spirit (ABOVE) Mr. Beckham enters the gym to give one of his many pep talks. (RIGHT) Every pep session opens with the school song. (BELOW) The crowd yells at the sectional pep ses- sion — the most spirited of the year. Every school has pep sessions to boost school spirit. And Calumet is no exception. Pep sessions were held throughout the foot- ball and basketball seasons in honor of the guys who do the real work. CHS’s best pep session was held during basketball sectional time. That’s when the Rats returned and all was well. Loyalty Day brought with it skits, jokes, and spirit. The rafters rang as students echoed, “FIGHT” Next year will bring lots more pep sessions and lots more spirit. 30
