Q pirit Week of Homecoming boosts student morale Watch Us Now were the words and the theme that carried Spirit Week right up to Homecoming night. A kick off pep rally in front of the school on Monday started Spir- it Week off with All the Right Moves. Featuring the stars of to- morrow, That ' s Entertainment inspired Tuesday ' s variety show. Senior Chris Berdoll won the tal- ent contest. Nothing less than Nightmare on Cardinal Field was appropri- ate for Wednesday ' s monster wed- ding. Student Council members, the Homecoming princesses and a few teachers dressed up as mon- sters and performed a mock wed- ding promoting Cardinal spirit and pride. The monster wedding was something really different, soph- omore Melissa Kinsey said. It was entertaining because the peo- ple in the wedding were people you wouldn ' t expect to do something like that, and they looked silly. On Thursday, Homecoming princesses and their parents at- tended a breakfast reception. Thursday night was capped off with a parade and bonfire. Ex-Del Valle football star T.J. Dilworth was the guest speaker. The Gram- my Awards on Friday brought two more ex-football stars to the pep rally, Cornelius Walker and Skip Walker.

i o team Cards are number one; don ' t ;ou forget it! 1 he thundering roar of drums could be heard echoing throughout the campus during third period every Friday preceding the pep ral- ly. The students slowly filled the gymnasium and as they did a new mood seemed to fill the air. No longer pressured by completing undone homework or the worries of seeming too loud or wild, the students now assumed their sec- ond identities of rally animals. The pep rally was a way of unit- ing the whole student body under the same roof to motivate hidden feelings of school spirit. For some showing school spirit is not a prob- lem, while others take a little in- spiration before they release their feelings. Most lower classmen ap- peared a slight bit timid, but at the sight of wild seniors and juniors cheering along, waving mini-pom poms and being as noisy as pos- sible, they lost their tension and joined in on the activities at hand. I enjoy pep rallies because they build school spirit, give you a break from your classes, and let you release some of your anxieties built-up during the week, senior A.J. Foulois said. The unusual manner assumed at the event was the students way of showing the team they were not alone. The students cheers and yells help to hipe-up each player. I think the pep rallies raise our spirits and give us reason to try and win at the upcoming game, junoir Vance Foradory said. Students attended the rallies for reasons ranging from the oppor- tunity to get away from actvity pe- riod to having the chance to be a part of their school and supporting it. Playing Louie Louie for the first time, the band excites the crowd. Phoio By swve McCan- dlrss 10 7 Go Team Student Life V
