This year's pep assemblies were among the best. With winning teams, the students were motivated to cheer at the assemblies. Students got more involved by helping to plan the pep assemblies and appearing in the skits. We'll remember those pep assemblies as being Back on Top Juniors prove just how loud they can get. Reitz cheerleaders get the crowd going during a pep assembly. Coach Bill Hape gives one of his pep talks before the Castle game. The scores were shown at a pep assembly for the North game. Pep 8

Bonding What would it be like without friends? Pretty dull. There would be no one to share secrets with. No one to experience the good times and, more importantly, the bad times. Where would we ask advice and endless other things? At Reitz, there are many bonds of friendship. We each have a special friend or friends that make our high school years memorable and bearable. We gain and lose friends over time. Marlene Vonderahe, a senior, explained, Many of my friends when I was a freshman developed other interests. We are still friendly, but not as close. A best friend has qualities that make them more special than our other friends. Laura Barchet, a junior, says, A best friend is always there when you need them and they can be trusted to keep personal conversations personal. When freshmen enter high school they lose many friends because some move away or others attend different schools. Nevertheless, many more new friends are made almost immediately. Not only are the bonds between students at Reitz. But it includes the surrounding community. Sports events and graduation are attended not only by parents and relatives, but by many Westsiders who just want to share old friendships and want to be near the old school spirit. At graduation when the Reitz graduates in the audience are asked to stand, almost no one remains seated. The warmth of friendship is a wonderful feeling and gives us a sense of direction in life. Let's be thankful for the friends who share our high school years; the memories ofe their friendship will last forever. Debbie Guetling You know you have a true friend when they agree to eat in the school cafeteria with you. A great place to meet friends is in the front hall by the Coke machine. These three friends risk their lives by sitting on the main staircase to do their homework. A true friend will sit outside the office with you when you have an appointment with Mr. Higgs. Friends 10
