Bonfire in pires spiritg assemblies ignite crowd ne of the best places to show support for a J-Hawk athletic team was the ever popular pep assembly. While some students looked at pep as- semblies as a chance to miss class, others got very involved trying to show their class was the most spirited during spirit yells. Some unusual events seen at pep as- semblies included a skit poking fun at Homecoming, a cheer by male rah- rahs. and visits by the coneheads. go- rillas, and a mysterious pumpkin head. Also. the pom pon girls did several routines. However, not all pep assemblies were the same. At the assembly for the Homecoming game, seniors were criti- cized for being too rowdy so they turned their backs on the rest of the crowd. Also, when an assembly wasn't scheduled for the football pIay'off game against Wash, many students de- cided to hold their own. Senior Vicki Loerch said, As far as the authority goes. if the kids decide to rebel, no one can stop them. Seniors protest against certain faculty members who claim they're too noisy by turning their backs to the rest of the student body.
