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.

(Pho- to by Matt Nadeja) Whcrt Happens After Hours? Body Strains, Memorable Things Students and faculty got involved in everything; from the homecoming dance theme of New York, New York,” the spooky Halloween dances, the Christmas dance and the Jr $r Prom, to hunting, fishing, and even aerobics, we participated. Students went to dances for many reasons: just to hang out,” to have fun, or to dance with that special someone. Many talked about the dance coming up and criticized past dances, some of which generated some heated discussions in the classroom. Other people just didn't care. Stephanie Penley stated, The dances were memo- rable to me, because each dance was unique in its own way, and each dance showed me yet another part of the life of our student body. Other students didn’t go to the dances, because they thought they were a waste of time and money. However, the same students who didn’t go to the dances were also some of the same ones who were active with many unorganized sports such as aero- bics, running, hunting and fishing. One student said that these unorganized sports relieved his tense- ness and made him forget his problems”? it was a way to escape reality for a while.” Anyway you looked at it, dances and unorganized sports were a large part of the student life, for what would the after hours have been like without them?
