Although school involved a major portion of students' time during the week, the weekends were open for dates and leisure time. Away from school students enjoyed things such as dancing, skating and eating. The Copper Dollar was a meeting place for the boys. The place offered an assortment of machines and games, such as pool, pinball, air hockey, and foosball. Roller skating became an obses- sion for many students. Many went skating at Northwest skateworld every night, while others went only once a week. Memorial City was a super place to go shopping. You could either take it easy and window shop or buy the stores out. If one place was singled out from all the rest of the hangouts it would be Tin Hall. Country music became very popular with the stu- dents, and the place to go dancing was Tin Hall, actually a tin building located on Huffmeister Road.

Two bits, four bits, hey, six bits . . . could only remind you of one activity - pep rallies. Fridays are always looked forward to during foot- ball season. The halls are filled with excitement. Save me a seat. Are the GoldDusters doing a dance at the pep rally? Hurryl l want a good place to sit. The football guys talk about that night's game while eating the candy that was secretly placed in their lock- ers by one of the GoldDusters. Ribbons and pins are worn, and signs are hanging in the halls and gym telling the football guys of the stu- dents' spirit and support. The band starts playing alerting students the pep rally is about to start. Stragglers file in and try to find a place to sit, but the gym is packed by now and they usually have to sit on the floor. The band plays and the students sing the school song and fight song as the football team walks in. From that moment on the gym is never A group of students stand up and yell juniors, another group yells sophomores, while on the opposite side students are yelling freshmen and seniors. A tootsi roll! , A piece of cinnamon candy. , Oh l missed 'Throw some up here. , are the cries of the students as the cheerleaders toss spirit candy into the stands. During the hour of the pep rally the gym is rocking and hum- ming with spirit. The GoldDusters and twirlers perform their dances they have prepared for that night's game accompanied by the band. After the varsity cheerleaders do a humorous skit for the foot- ball team and are changing back into their uniforms, the iunior var- sity cheerleaders come to their aid and do some chants and yells until they return. The moment everyone impa- tiently waits for is the spirit con- es . The spirit stick is a baton col- ored purple and gold which sym- bolizes spirit. When the baton is held up in the air the students try to make as much noise as they possibly can. When the baton is held down, everyone calms down. The cheerleaders do a yell which sounds like this, Freshmen what's your battle cry? The freshmen stand up and yell as loud as they can, V-l-C-T-O-R-Y. The cheerleaders ask the question to all the classes, and the class that yells the loudest keeps the spirit stick till the next pep rally. Pep rallies were optional this year. The students could either go to study hall or to the pep rally. Even though the pep rallies were not mandatory, the gym was always packed and the students always showed spirit ancl support. 20- Student Life quiet. Q D Q .
