Herels To Thee The Meaning Of School Spiritn. At 2:40 the students begin filing into the gym. The Fight Song is playing and the cheerleaders are doing their routine. Sound familiar? Of course it does. A Pep Rally is an important part of life at East Gaston. According to East Gaston senior Jimmy Forrester a pep rally's pur- pose is to boost our team's spirit and let them know that the warriors are behind them. Of the four pep rallies we have had this year fone more than last year, by the wayl, certain cheers seem to be common. Are You Ready , Watcha Gonna Do To- night'? , and I say East seem to be the favorities. These are the cheers that get the most response from everyone says cheerleading co-captain Karen Hovis. The oldest cheers are not al- ways the favorities though. The Funky Chicken has developed an almost cult fol- lowing this year so do not be surprised to see it at future pep rallies. By the time the Alma Mater rolls around the band and the cheerleaders have once again managed to work the crowd into a frenzy. Dion and Company make their contribution to the pep rally. Warriors show spirit at one of the seasons four pep rallies. 'xx QSQEJNU Nxxxfk 'fs ee T' ' fi k - M , -s... f ea., gtryy W W -5. ,lf , W 1 1-I-...Q Q , l ., X N?
