HONK . . . HONK . . . ’’SEEENIORSS 1” . . . ’'CLASS OF ’88 RULES.” Yes, August 21st started out loudly, to say the least. The seniors strutted their stuff with their senior motorcade. They made it clear to everyone that they were the ruling class at LFO. Unfortunately, not every class had the same enthusi- asm towards the first day of the new school year. For instance, freshmen were just starting the long hassle of class credits and GPAs. Leslie Garrison, a freshman, was nervous the first day because she ’’didn't know what was going to happen,” and Tisha Akins had ’’trou- ble finding places.” They had four, long years ahead of them to get accustomed to the school and people. Luck- ily, sophomores had already been through ’’first day jitters” and were ready to handle the first day’s havoc. Juniors, on the other hand, were becoming upperclass- men. The responsibility and pride that went along with this title was ’’overwhelming,” according to Melanie Moyer. As the day ran on, assorted thoughts went through everyone’s head; expectations were held by everyone. Meredith Morrison, a junior, expected to come back to school with three years seniority on the underclass- men, but also much harder work.” Whatever the thoughts and feelings were on August 21st, all students knew that summer was over and school had begun.

Pep rally days were filled with activity and suspense, since nobody knew exactly what sur- prises would occur. To some, pep rallies held un- forgettable memories; they meant getting to know one's class as a whole and searching for that Warrior spirit.” Pep rallies are a great time to focus on what you hope to accomplish for the game. It also provides much-needed motivation and a sense of brotherhood with other football players,” stated senior football player Robert Gregory. The football players were not the only ones involved, though. There were cheerleaders, ma- jorettes, drill team members, band, teachers and, of course, the student body. Pep rallies,” stated cheerleader Amy Parrish, were a great way to create and maintain school pride. It not only gets our team fired up; it also creates class unity.” To most, pep rallies were fun and exciting, but there were some students who felt that there are more important things to do.” Robert dis- agreed: If we ever hope to accomplish great feats in the athletic world here at LFO, each and every member of the student body must be be- hind the athletic program 101 %” And give they did, as, pep rally after pep rally, cheer after cheer, the student body continued to search for that certain Warrior spirit.” By Kristy Silver Shannon Hood.
