spirit Streaks WHERE? a vast expanse of bricks and wooden bleachers worn with age, echoing the shouts of many voices, pun- gent with the essence of gym shoes and discarded sweats — watched over by forlorn basketball hoops. WHO? . . . a variety of personalities make up the pep rally participants. En- tering the gym, one can easily hear the most noticeable person, Rah-Rah Rhonda, as she bounces around, clapping and cheering in a never-ending attempt to arouse the crowd to enthusiasm. Not lacking this quality. Enthusiastic Edna leaps up and down on the bleachers, screaming herself hoarse. Edna is com- pletely unaware of the dirty looks she is receiving from Apathetic Alice and Bored Bertha. They do not enjoy Edna ' s jostling and shrieking. Alice reclines languidly as Bertha gazes at the intri- cate patterns of pipes on the ceiling, wondering why on earth she ever came! Studious Stella, pushing her glasses back upon her nose and fanning her hot, perspiring face, also wishes she was somewhere else — like the library . . . ah, what a quiet haven after this mad- house! Gorgeous Gregory, quite aware of the hundreds of hungry eyes on him, throws back his head and yells . . . just for effect! But, of a!! the persona!i- ties, the most be!oved is Streaker Sam, igniting instantaneous pandemonium as he flashes through the gym! WHAT? ... a conglomeration of tightly packed bodies, gaping mouths emitting a variety of noises, chants, and yells, bright posters proclaiming We ' re number one! or ' 76 rules! and an a!most over abundance of spirit. The occasion? It could be nothing but a pep rally! Foot- ball, basketball, it made no difference. Students were always ready to cheer KHS on to victory and their class to the coveted Spirit Jug. The next sophomore who comes near me gets it! Brandishing a lethal tomahawk, junior Cindy Neal faithfully guards her class section during a pep rally Thanks a lot, Annie. I thought it was for me! exclaims Mr Garland Wesson, as cheerleader Annie Weih pre- sents a token of the squad ' s appreciation to assistant football coach John Pauls Hail to the Warriors! Sophomore Juli Aunan salutes the audience as the majorettes perform one of their stunning routines Highlights - 14

HEAP BIO SPIRIT? SPIRIT, let ' s hear it!!! Challenging the student body to display their spirit, the SCA planned a week of activities prior to the game with arch rival Hampton. Al- though the Homecoming loss of the pre- vious week to Warwick appeared to have dampened some of the students’ zeal. Warrior enthusiasm was re-kindled as Spirit Week progressed. Proclaiming Tuesday as Green and White Day. the SCA urged all students to don their school colors; however, most students either forgot or ignored the request. Many showed up in green, red, plaid and checked outfits. On Wednesday, students crowded into the cafeteria for a fund-raising slave auction. The guys bid on the various cheerleaders and majorettes to be slaves for the day. Thursday, the girls retaliated as reluctant guys were pushed to the sales stand, where they were quickly auctioned off and taken away by their owners. Spirit Day culminated the fun-filled week with the 50’s reigning supreme. Students dressed fifties style with bobby socks, loafers, long skirts, and greased back hair. Ecstatic Seniors paraded in garish costumes in the halls and then won the coveted Spirit Jug for displaying the most class spirit. Although Spirit Week began on an apa- thetic note, the Warriors finally rallied to support the football team in their stand against the Crabbers. Jitterbugging wildly. Seniors Janet Porter and Marty Baxter flip out over Spirit WeekI Preparing for the onslaught of starving KHS students. Warrior Ms. Monique Gossolin displays confidence Highlights - 16
