Go, Fight, Win were only a few chants lead by the Cheerleaders and Varsity gridders. While cheering grew intense, the dummy of a Midland High player burned in the raging fire, sparking everyone's pep for the coming game. Pep? Thunderous voices chanting V-I-C-T-O- R-Y, that s the Sophomore battle cry showed they had it, as the Sophomores won the pep jug ' during Friday's pep assembly, only moments before the Homecoming court was introduced and Rosemary Trahan announced as queen. 21-42, that's the score.
