Getting Into The Spirit Pep assemblies mean getting into the spirit of Ri- ley, stated Linda Mar- cedes ' 85. School pri de and spirit were definite characteristics of Riley pep assemblies. The sound of the band playing the school song and the routines of the pom-pon girls were a definite change from the usual classroom lectures. Usually a pep assembly was given before a special game such as homecoming or sectionals. There were always special highlights that accompanied each as- sembly. At our first assem- bly the cheerleaders pre- sented personal and some- what embarrassing items belonging to the senior members of the football team. Some of the items included tattered teddy bears from their early years and combs and mir- rors for the primping play- ers. Another time the cheerleaders portrayed the different images of the players such as the tough guy, the beach bum or the mamma ' s boy. Pep assemblies gave stu- dents the chance to cheer on the teams and get an early start on the weekend activities. Pep assemblies made me rowdy and proud to go to Riley, added Ka- ren Zakowski ' 85. Right: The cheerleaders went to team members homes for per- sonal items. Denise Szuch ' 84 wore a pair of Tony Wood ' s ' 84 favorite pajamas.
