Get psyched!!! screamed Julie Thomas and Chris Latshaw down the hall. These words must have echoed into the Cabinet room because the saying was quickly adopted by the ASB Cabinet. The theme get psyched rang throughout the school in the first few weeks. Hundreds of posters decorated the hallways, encouraging sports teams to do well, students to be enthusiastic and everybody to get involved. Seniors did their part by draping the senior hall with streamers, ivy and other ancient Greek garb. They also dressed in togas to match their ancient Greek theme and to get them psyched for the year. Seniors spent one late evening decorating the big oak tree in front of the school with colorful streamers. Teachers also did their part in triggering students’ interest. Chemistry instructor Janet Brandeburg always performs a thought-provoking experiment on the first day — this year found her pouring nitric acid on a copper penny. The rally put on pep assemblies to instill school spirit. Classes competed in egg toss and cheering contests. Although doubts lingered in the minds of underclassmen, the seniors were pronounced winners of all events. Red, white and blue uniforms were donned practically every day as the rally tried to get people psyched. Get psyched proved effective as attendance at assemblies and sports events grew, and participation in clubs and committees was at an all-time high. One way you can tell people are psyched for the year is when they try to initiate their own involvement. It really thrilled me when several students came to me and asked how they could get involved,” commented ASB President Mike Bacon. Get Psyched 9
