PEPPING UP CHURCHLAND School spirit at Churchland has been on a continual downfall, and by the beginning of second semester, it was in a definite lag. While most stu- dents continued to give the familiar answer “I don’t know and I don’t care” to the question “Is ignorance or apathy worse at school?’, one group of students took positive ac- tion. Mrs. Brady’s third period speech class decided to put the “pep” back in Churchland. Soon, posters promoting various And what do you think, sir? At the prom, Kathy Burton asks Mark Kent and Jean Live- say if they’re having a good time, encourag- ing more students to attend the junior-senior. school functions were seen all over- with the letters “P.S.S.T.” (pro- nounced “Psssst’’,, as in telling a se- cret) at the bottom. Then, announce- ments beginning with “P.S.S.T.” were made regularly. This “propa- ganda” culminated in an assembly. Though most students knew the as- sembly had something to do with “P.S.S.T.”, few ventured any guess- es as to its real purpose. But the assembly revealed all, and theme bio. 5s lae Promote School z ; : i ¥ Jock of the century. Trey Williams decides to try his hand at golf in an attempt to be a jock and attract the girls. Spirit Team - took the stage. The speech class had put together a se- ries of skits and shorts, encouraging students to get involved in various aspects of school life. Two of these presentations were especially popular. In one, five cho- rus members gave their rendition of the Eagles’ song “Seven Bridges Road,” amidst screams imitating the popular live recording. And ina skit, Trey Williams despaired over his bad luck with females, claiming “the jocks get all the girls.” Setting his goals toward being “Jock of the Cen- tury,” Trey decided to go out for sports (and girls). But after contin- ually striking out with sports (and the girls), Trey realized that sports weren't the only way to get girls, or support the school. The assembly ended as the cheer- leaders were asked to come up and lead the students in a pep cheer. The whole production was re- ceived with laughter and applause, and students talked about it all day. And thanks to the “P.S.S.T.,” a bit of pep came back to Churchland. Wide-eyed southern boys. Music is another way of supporting the school, as shown by Mark Kent, Mike Murray, Micah Yarbrough, Marc Kersey, and Chuck Pearce who harmo- nize on “Seven Bridges Road.” rae | Sea St ere Kae Higa Eee 4 ee Se te S09 z es a. oe AS 2 ba ae aE Bc Be igtrontia : Psst 21
