This spirited sophomore crowd demonstrates the overall enthusiasm expressed at pep rallies. Up until now, Falls Church High School has never been noted for its excessive amount of spirit. But get together a championship team and watch the action and crowd re¬ sponse soar. A feeling of pride and determination seemed to surface at the ' 77 pep rallies, with the favorite chant re¬ peatedly shouted, We ' re No. 1! The cheerleaders put on a variety of pep rallies to in¬ crease student interest and promote school spirit. The first of them included the routine competition between the classes with candy as a reward for the loudest class. A scavenger hunt was put to the test at the homecoming pep rally. Two football players were placed in front of each class with a list of specific items to collect from their crowd. The Seniors became the winners when they collected all their items first. The Stuart pep rally proved to be one of the most enter¬ taining. Mr. Stepp, Mr. Powell, Mr. Stegner, Mr. Herb, and Mr. Ake were placed in front of the four classes. Students were then informed that the class with the most yell would be rewarded by having a pie pushed in the face of the teacher representing their class. This proved to be a highly successful method of producing crowd response. However, all the lucky teachers were bombarded with pies in the end. The song Get Ready was played as an incitement to players at the state football championship pep rally. The fifty-five player trompled in carrying signs that spelled out a victory motive for the Jaguars. Pep rallies provided recognition for everyone, including girls sports. The coaches of each team were given oppor¬ tunities to speak and give their players and the students a pep talk. Pep rallies proved to be an important way to in¬ crease school spirit and promote pride throughout the year. 16
