The excitement mounted. When all the skits and preliminary cheers were over. SCA President. Steve Lewis, stepped to the podium. Is everyone ready for the Spirit Jug competition? he cried. The deafening roar from the stands proved that everyone was ready and willing. Sophomores go first! he announced. Battle Cry WARRIORS VICTORY Slowly a faint whisper from the soph- omore section wafted over the assembled classes. The JV Cheerleaders could be heard, but they received little support. Unfortunately, since rivalry between the junior high schools was still present, the class had not yet united. O K. It ' s the juniors ' turn! V-l-C-T-O-R-Y This time the cry was stupendous! Cheerleaders were drowned out by the screams and whistles. The school ' s smallest class had organized into a highly spirited group. At every pep rally they had banners and placards. The exchange of 75 rules versus 76 rules was almost as noisy as the competition for the Spirit Jug. Steve Lewis banged his gavel. Raising his hands for silence, he announced, Class of ’75, it ' s your turn! An enthusiastic cheer of S-S-Sen, l-l-lor. Senior! rebounded through the gym. Then V-l-C-T-O-R-Y Usually dignified seniors jumped, hooted, and clapped their hands to express their support. Once again, Steve stepped to the podium. Immediate silence followed. Everyone leaned forward to hear who had won. Jubilant pandemonium broke loose as the president of the loudest, most spirited class grabbed the Spirit Jug. Carried in a triumphant march through the gym on his classmates shoulders, he waved the Jug victoriously. The losing classes trailed out of the gym, depressed by the outcome. However, as the fresh air revived them, they regained their excitement and began to anticipate the night ' s game. Say ahhh! Seniors Lori Agud, Cissy Petty, and Mary Cooper scream wildly during the Spirit Jug competition What ' s this? Coach Revis Conrad giving his boys a pep talk? Nope — the garters give them away! It ' s the cheerleaders imitating the basketball team during a pep rally skit Patchwork — 14

Floats and Girls Ladies and Gentlemen: We are gathered here today to mourn the passing of the Great Pembroke Pirates! Dressed in black, Lynette Terry stood on top of a cafeteria table during lunch and bemoaned the fallen Pirates. Follow- ing hereulogy.thefuneral procession, which included a small band, mourners, and a dead pirate, wailed through the halls. With Friday ' s procession long weeks of preparation for the Homecoming festivities came to a halt. By then, everyone knew who the members of the Homecoming Court were. Sophomore attend- ants were Cubby Midden and Cindy Neal. The Junior Class was represented by Annie Weih and Terry Cobb. Wondering who would be crowned queen, seniors Tomka Malval, Jeanme Suttle, and Jeannie Skarponi waited anxiously for Saturday ' s game. During the week before the Homecoming Game, all activities were focused on the last-minute float details. The end result of all this concentrated work was a group of masterpiece floats. Fortunate- ly, none of the class floats showed any adverse effects from indecision, water balloons, or other mischievous under- takings. Patchwork — 1 6 WIN On Saturday morning frantic prepara- tions were made and the floats, band, attendants, and clowns all made it to Carey Street. Tension heightened as the floats passed the judges and finally reached Darling Stadium. Once the game started, nervousness mounted until the beginning of half-time activities. Then, Chris Fuller climbed to the announcer ' s booth and named the winners. In the float division the Sophomore Class and Industrial Arts Club placed third, the Junior Class and Keyette and Key Clubs placed second. The Class of ’75 and the Sociology Club won first place. Finally, Steve Lewis crowned Jeannie Skarponi as the Homecoming Queen. Unfortunately, the game did not end as cheerfully as the Homecoming half-time. In an exciting contest Pembroke won, 26-14. Due to the lack of policemen to chaperone the Homecoming Dance, the dance was canceled. However, couples who had planned to attend the dance were not discouraged. Dressed in formals, cor- sages, suits and boutonniere, couples went out to dinner and then the movies.
