Spirited Rallies Ever! Spirited students look on as the cheerleaders perform one of their many pom-pom routines. G.A. drummers add a great deal to pep rallies, providing a good beat to bump and boogie to. The noise was deafening as G.A. students joined in mass forces to cheer on the football team, cheerleaders, band, and even their own individual classes. What was the occasion? A G.A. pep rally was about to begin. Red hats, white megaphones, shakers, and banners were waved through the air as the cheerleaders (on G.A.’s new platform) led students on to frenzied yells for their school and team. The band contributed greatly while students sang and danced to the beat of their music. Contests and skits were performed, and competition for the most spirited classes ran deep. By the end of the rally even the most unenthusiastic students were gasping for air as they became wildly caught up in the good ole G.A. spirit. This was only a warm- up, however, for the game was yet to come. twenty-five

 twenty-six The week of October 17-22 was one of the busiest on G.A. Campus. Not only were students confronted with the hustle and bustle of Homecoming, but An- nual Staff members had their first deadline, club pictures were made, and weary students had to drag themselves out of bed early Saturday morning for the PSAT. The main activities started Thursday morning with a delicious breakfast sponsored by ICC. That night G. A. spirit really showed at the bonfire pep-rally, during which the band and the Freshman Class won the spirit stick. The week’s events climaxed on Friday, Homecom- ing 1976! The day’s activities began early in the morning when the excited Homecoming contes- tants, their escorts, and band members rehearsed the night’s ceremonies at Lanier Field in chilling for- ty-five degree weather. After school the streets of Brunswick were crowd- ed as throngs of spectators watched the parade. The many weeks of hard work and preparation that went into floats, cars, and clowns paid off, for the parade turned out to be a huge success. After rushing home to grab a bite to eat and pick- ing up their dates, Terror fans returned to Lanier Field to watch the mighty Red Terrors washout Beach. During halftime festivities Joyce Holmes was crowned the 1976 Homecoming Queen. After the game, exuberant students bumped and boogied til shortly after midnight, trying successfully to savor the last moments of one of the best home- comings ever, Homecoming 1976. - -tr.i
