igskin Insight Students Reveal Thriiis of Qeiball 'he football game is the most outstanding aspect of student life. These un- believably exciting events bring each member of the student body together, not only during the game, but also the entire day of the game. Here is an ex- cerpt from a conversation be- tween seniors Joe Riviere and Scott Blackwell. Pep assemblies bring our school together like no other event could, don't you think so Scott? You bet, they're fantastic! Very few schools put on pep assemblies the way we do. Yea, they don't get to have theirs during school time. Pep assemblies allow every- one to get fired up. They unite the student body and give us a common goal. Instead of being against each other, say sophomores against juniors, it's sopho- mores, juniors, and everybody against . . . The freshmen! Ha! No, they're all against the other school. just like they al- ways say, 'there's nothing that unites people more than a com- mon enemy. ' Yea, and one of the things that does that is our cheer- leader's skits. The Buffalo Sol- diers are better than any of the other three groups we've had. No, no, Scott, we can't say that, it wouldn't be fair. Let's put it in a different way, their skits are the ones we'll remem- ber. They're well organized and seem to know what they're do- ing and if they don't, they're awfully good actors. They're good comedians, not clowns like the others we've seen. A clown is the one, who, at every football game, when it's freezing at twenty below, takes his shirt off and runs across the field. The comedian is the one who talked him into it. I can really remember some crazy stuff. What's the most -outrageous stunt you've seen them do? The most outrageous? Brad Geels playing Ethiopia in the first skit. He's got the most out- rageous spirit of anyone. I've heard some pretty neat cheers, too. Like the time good 'ol Trey McElvaney cheered through an entire game even until we were all out of the sta- dium. I had to go back and bring him into the real world. He just kept cheering, 'Nu- ke'em til they glow and shoo- t'em in the dark. ' Another cheer I love is 'Hi- t'em, kill'em, and bury'em. ' No, it's 'Hit'em, kill'em plant'em. ' Oh, Joe with all your insight you'd certainly know. I PE'-ilfji Eli L?-L12-ILFT2-'1l?!l'-'FI'f3Ei-33512 Studernt llff,

Toga! Kirk Wilson, john Moran, Paul Brown, and Michael Boyd show that there's more to Governors School than books. BOYS STATE Paul Brown, Kirk Wilson, Rob Boswell, John Moran, Ramon Escobar, Richrd Walt, Dominic Plis, Shawn Daniel, and Erik Fetner attended Boy's State this summer to give them a back- ground in the workings of govern- ment. They participated in debates, drew up bills, and went to leader- ship seminars. Ramon Escobar commented, The interesting thing about Boys' State was the different ideas from people around the state. Ramon experienced differ- ent ideas on a larger scale as a member of Boys' Nation. Though, all remarks about Boys' State were not as positive as Ramon's. The po- litical slant of the American Le- gion, sponsors of Boys' State, upset some students. It was definitely a week unlike any other. GOVERNOR'S SCHOOL Mi- chael Boyd, John Moran, Kirk Wil- son, and Paul Brown were students at Governor's School, a five-week summer school at Hendrix College. Kirk Wilson said, The main pur- pose of Governor's School wasn't to teach you facts, but to open your mind to new ideas .., The stu- dents didn't just go to class, they heard guest speakers on subjects from the theory of relativity to the fine arts, went swimming, went to dances, or went to the movies. The main thing was to have fun, said Kirk Wilson. Summer A. No, it's not the Hell's Angels. David Cone is a member of a more civil biker gang. This stuff's easy.
