M ost thought pep rallies fol- lowed the same routine over and over, but there were excep- tions. In one pep rally the football team gave a cake to the cheer- leaders reversing the normal practice. Another time six foot- ball players were pulled out onto the floor by the twirlers, given batons and asked to twirl. Their antics with the batons involved mostly throwing, dodging, and ducking their way through the Rabbits? ‘‘No, we’re seniors!’’ say San- dra Torrez and Mike Deason, band mem- bers. 20 pep rallies Wwe kept.on. trying New approach to old routines music of the band. Many times the football team showed the stu- dent body how to boogie down to the cheer, ‘‘Hey! Let me see ya get down!”’ Drum corps members created rhythmic spirit when they took to the floor with bass drums, field snares, tri-toms, cymbols and a xylophone for an especially rous- ing performance.

Girls gazed through the windows at the dis- play of mums, and wondered when the long-awaited invitation would come. Chatter rose in the halls as friends discussed what they would wear. Finally the day arrived. People rushed about anxiously awaiting the dismissal bell. Shortly after sixth hour began, the distant strains of the fight song were heard in the halls as the band and cheerleaders ran through the halls gathering students as they went. The parade spilled out into the mall and toward the foot- ball stadium picking up a few genuine grads on the way through the parking lot. The pep rally itself was not unusual as far as pep rallies go. The Talonettes and cheerleaders did their best to out-do previous performances, and in some ways, succeeded. The Fish, though, stole the show when they presented seniors Sherry Woerner and Mel Reese a spe- cial award — a genuine, frozen fish. Mel and Sherry did the expected by stomping it into the ground. Homecoming night, always a heartbreaker for many, was especially sad for some. The announcement of homecoming queen and her crowning, origi- nally planned for half time, had to be conducted on a moment's notice before the game. Cheer- leaders and Talonettes nominees had to scramble to change in time for the ceremony, and some had to appear in uniforms rather than dresses. ; Just crowned.
