Wt With the refrain of the school fight song calling them in, 1000 excited students crowded into the gym. Cheerlead- ers were shouting, the band was blaring Big Red and the crowd was roaring. This was a common Friday morn- ing scene at MacArthur - a pep rally to promote school spirit. During the course of the pep rally, cheers would be led, the school song would be played, a standing ovation would be given to Coach Finley and the football team, and students would battle for the spirit stick by shouting a cheer for their class. The coveted award would be pre- sented to the grade-level that had shown the most school spirit throughout the week. A panel of teachers decided the winner of the spirit stick by casting votes in favor of the class that had had the largest number of students at the poster parties, the best posters for the football game, and the most enthusi- asm at the pep rally. Ballots were collected by cheerlead- ers, tallied, and the winner was announced to the anxious mob. For three weeks classes vied for the red and white wandp however, what began as friendly competition soon became fierce rivalry. At the tie time of the Northshore football game the seniors and the freshman had literally quit trying to win, according to Ms. Angie Joachim, co- sponsor of the cheerleaders. That left the juniors and the sophomores to battle it out. 2 Cook their goose Creferring to Baytown's gandersj could have been one of Sharon Jordan's and Debbie Wisenbaker's pos- ter slogans that they labored many hours over.
