EXCITEMENT is what they’re looking for as the crowd looks on. ATTEMPTING TO FIND senior Jeff Pearson’s mouth, senior Lisa Krueger tries to win the pie feeding contest during the homecoming pep assem- bly. TRIKE RACE WINNER Billy Tarala showed his spirit for the 7th grade! PLAYING UP SPIRIT, the pep band has always been an important part in our pep assemblies.

LOOK OUT DON JOHNSON! Sophomore Scott Popilek is ‘‘wearin’ it well’ in this stylish outfit. BIG AND BAGGY SHIRTS are definitely a must for seventh grader Jodi Handley. Can anyone guess where she found that radical pattern? THOSE CASUAL DAYS can also be very fashion- able as juniors Lisa Crothers, David Slater, and Sandy Roggenbuck show that jean jackets, leather jackets, and casual wear show style. 13

Never ending excitement As the years pass on, one event we will never forget is the pep assembly. The loud cries from the bleachers, the whistling and the cheers, and the occasional stream of toilet paper will be imprinted in our minds forever. However, I’m sure there are some not so pleasant memories that we will remember also. For example, the time the person in front of you (of course he has to be as big as a mack truck) sud- denly jumps up for excitement’s sake and backhands you right in the face. Or, the time your paper-stuffed folder falls between the crack of the bleacher and hits the floor after falling 10-15 ft., and the papers scatter across the floor. Who can forget the mad rush as jam-packed bodies all run to the same door and, for some unknown reason, all at the same time? But not only are the pep assemblies memorable, but the regular assemblies are as well. One very memorable as- sembly was Free Fare. I’m sure if you’re a female, two words come to your mind—CUTE GUYS!!!! The music was fantastic, and we all got involved. Another memorable assembly was a multi-media presentation called VOICES. It told us to be ourselves and to be different and also to stand up for what we believe. Not only are assemblies fun, but they are educational also, for example the SADD (Students Against Driving Drunk) assembly. There, figures of actual drunk driving fatalities were presented and many examples of teenage deaths were given. We were also asked to sign a con- tract for life which stated that if you ever get too drunk to drive, you can call a parent and count on them to help you. But this is not the end of the assem- blies, even though it may be for the sen- iors. Many more are to come, be it an exciting pep assembly or a singing group, but none of us will forget this year of great assemblies at DHS. 15
