SPIRIT JACKS UP Gathering changes spark interest School gatherings reflected the attitude of students toward CLHS academic and social life. The various gatherings that pupils attended included chapel, led by Mr. Donald Luepke, pep sessions, and assemblies, organized by Todd Taykowski. Mr. Luepke commented, We tried to pro- vide variety and new interest in chapel services to counteract student apathy. Various methods of worship used attempted to stimulate fresh interest and participation in the student body.

Pep sessions were shortened by the new schedule; consequently, we had to create short, snappy cheers to make crowd cheering easier, said Mrs. Nelson. The cheerleaders felt that school spirit vastly improved this year. The faculty and administration cooperated with Todd in sched- uling and conducting assemblies. Todd expressed his concern, Ever since my freshman year, as- semblies have decreased in number and quality. I decided to do something about it. Todd ' s goal was to schedule more as- semblies and interesting topics to spark new interest among stu- dents. A B 20 CATHERINCS
