Football season brings pepg pep rallies bring headaches There's a feeling you get when you're crowded into a gym with two thousand other students on a hot Fri- day afternoon. Shoulder to shoulder, you yell, sweat, clap, and laugh with your friends. Some people call that special feeling that accompanies those acts school spirit and en- thusiasm. Others call it a headache. Pep rallies are stupid, said Amy Blalock, senior. You get to see all the football players walk around in a circle and sit in their chairs. Then the coaches come out and say, 'Yeah, we're gonna winl' l liked it when everyone cried at the last pep rally though. They were really great this year, said Katrina Thornton, sophomore. The Duffers didn't do as many skits, but the ones they did do were really great. The soccer team really showed a lot of spirit. Although no one ever saw Terri Williams at the pep rallies, she was at every one of them, dressed up as the Panther. There's still something missing, said Williams. I know that a lot of the football players want to get up and cheer, but they don't. lt's like, 'Why should l yell for the team when they just sit there?' But during the pep rally when Darrell Edwards got up and burned that shirt, that was great. People really get into it when football players do something. l hate pep rallies, said senior Cydney Foote. l usually have headaches on Friday afternoons, and I usually don't want to be with all those people yelling and screaming.
