We're going to win is the theme of Pat Day's fantastic pep talk at the Grand Saline vs Wills Point pep rally, Slow dancin' swaying to the music, Wil- liam Vess and Phyllis Hamblin have a blast at a victory after a football game. A variety of emotions are expressed at a pep rally by Cfrontj Donna Roden, Kerri Willingham, Penny Crocker, Cyd Shue- make, Linda Eddy, Cbackj Sharon Dicken- son, Donna Barnes, Sherry Feltman, and Renee Doss. Many fun, spirit-boosting activi- ties that the entire student body and football team participated in were devised by the cheerlead- ers. The chain contest had many people digging into their pockets for money so their class could win. The class that dug the far- thest and won was the junior class. Many students dressed up in rolled up jeans, leather jackets, bobby socks, and poodle skirts for50's day, Western day brought out cow- boys and cowgirls, dressed in jeans, boots, belts with fancy buckles, and hats. At a spirit-raising pep rally many football players kicked the tiger in the tail so much that the tail broke. The most hilarious had to be the banana-eating contest which was part of Going Bananas week. Several boys volunteered to compete in the contest while girl volunteers crammed their mouths full of as many bananas as possible. The team that won was Brent O'Bannon and Kerri Willingham.
