Upposing teams' maseots burned at pep rallies As the sun moved beyond the horizon and left Hot Springs High in the dim shadows, voices screamed into the somber eveningg and excited cries of Onward Trojans echoed in the air. The scene was a Trojan pep rally. A papier-mache copy of the opposing team's mascot was tossed into a huge fireg and along with the cheers of the crowd, the smoke and ashes raced toward the sky. The pep band, cheerleaders, and other Trojans often waited by the athletic department at 3:15. They came to inspire the players after a vigorous sixth-period practice session. Trojan pep was aroused by the pep band during the first half of. basketball gamesg but even after the band had put away their instruments, Trojan pep lived on in the minds and voices of the cheerleaders, T-Steppers, and the excited crowds.
