Deserved recognition - Mascot Scot Lackey presents Band Director Wayne Tympamic a con- gratulatory balloon bouquet because ofthe outstanding performances the band did during the marching season. And the tears fell - Senior Anissa Wilson gives a sympathetic hug to a senior drill team member. The Wichita pep rally was the last pep rally during football season for the team to perform together. The Homecoming spirit - The varsity cheerleaders lead cheers to enthuse both the cur- rent students at the school and the alumni that came back to see how their school has changed during the years. Whether the theme was 'nerds,' 'camouflage' or 'fifties' Spirit severely soared One week, Hawaiian prints filled the halls. The next week, horn-rimmed glasses and high water pants were the style. No matter what name one gave these sudden fashion changes, it made Keller spirit rise higher than ever before. Spirit day themes boosted the student body's spirit throughout both the football and basketball seasons. Themes ranged from the above Hawaiian and Nerd days to blue and Gold and Camouflage Days. To boost school spirit, the varsity cheerleading team was in- creased to ten members and the gymnasium, which was not fully completed in time for pep rallies during the past year, was ready to be used for the first time. My favorite thing about the pep rallies was the enthusiasm everyone showed, sophomore jay Lucas said. Most students agreed that the Grapevine pep rally made spirit rise the highest. Confetti was thrown over the balcony down to the first floor before the pep rally even began and the activity lasted throughout the day, even though students were instructed not to do so. The Grapevine pep rally was awesome. Everybody was going 16 Pep Rallies crazy! The best part ofit all was that we won the game that night, one junior said. Of the events that took place during the pep rallies, perhaps the most memorable was the last pep rally against Wichita Falls I-Iirschi, which marked the end of football season. To the tune of Michael W. Smiths Friends are Friends Forever, the Senior Class joined together in a circle on the floor of the gym and remembered the times they had spent together during high school. I hope that our class can be as close as the seniors. It was really great to see what a close class they were, one sophomore said. The last pep rally honored seniors Rhonda Moore and Rod Dear- ing as Miss Indianette and Indianette Brave. Also seniors julie Belyeu and Cary McKay, juniors jim I-lerckt and Cindy Crites, sophomores Carolyn Abbot and jason Carter and freshmen j. j. jantzen and Darrel james were honored because of their help in supporting school spirit. In addition to these students the cross country, volleyball, soccer and basketball teams were honored at pep rallies before important meets and games.

Band marches on Austin Secures division 'Ii rating As bits and pieces of Kool and the Gangs superhit Celebration echoed loudly off the walls of the yellow school bus, emotionally psyched up band members clapped, sang and even danced along. There was definitely a party going on as the song sug- gested as the newly crowned regional champion marching band made its way home. Earlier that day, the band competed in the regional marching contest in Vernon and qualified for competition at the state level. Nine days later, on a sunny November afternoon, the band, accompanied by band director Wayne Tympanick and assistant band director Ken Hurst loaded up on to the chartered buses and charged towards Austin and the Univer- sity Interscholastic League State Marching Contest. The next morning at the contest the band awoke to rain Circles - Color guard forms a circle to do its part in helping the state-qualifying marching band, Toot your horn - The brass section of the marching band plays to a chilling perfection. Trumpets only - The trumpet section keeps its moves in perfect rhythm with the other members of the band during the state competition. Waiting for the results - Sophomore member julie Roach waits for the decision on who goes to the finals while hlling out some information for the competition. 18 Marching Band in Austin and breakfast IHOP style. A scheduled morning marching practice was canceled due to the weather. Around noon, the band departed for Champion football stadium at Westlzike High School, the site of the contest. After its performance, the band did not move on to the finals. lt did, however, receive a division I rating, the top rating possible, from each judge. l felt like we did very well considering the weather and not having a practice time to perfect our show before we per- formed, senior Scott Ross said. The band finished ninth at the state level contest. In making a I at the contest, the band that created the motto No Bows and State Bound became the first Keller band ever to do so and produced a string of memories that will not likely be forgotten. - BOBBY ROSS I , -rs ' -9 im-.,.,.w.a t s.
