Sprayed hair, It was about 8:15 Friday morning. Drums were pounded in a familiar beat. Students and faculty, garbed in blue and gold, filled the bleachers. Some who dared to be different wore bedsheets, paperbags, shades and hair sprayed blue and gold. This event was carried on by supporters of Victory for the Vikes. Cheerleaders along with Thor, Iohn iking spirit is alive and well costumes, bed sheets add to scene Thorburn, led the crowds in chants while the band kept the momentum going. A favorite of all pep rallies was the yell contest between classes. Enthusiasm ran rampant as students took cheerleaders' megaphones and pompons, passing them through the stands. The Vi-Queens performed at every pep rally to songs like Dallas and New York. 28 Pep Rallies Dressed as Lawrence of Arabia, seniors Pat Pacheco, Richard Andrew, Brian Ledford and Lance Evans attend a Friday morning pep rally after seeing the senior film the Tuesday before. Weekly talks from Coach Eddy Peach on game situations and floor stompin' speeches by Coach Mike Pringle often sent the crowd into an uproar. A hushed silence fell over the gym as the Alma Mater began, followed by a rush to form the spirit line while the Fight Song played. Reluctantly students filed out of the doors, breathless and drained of energy, but the Viking Spirit carried on. Antennas waving, senior Bitsy Burton claps to the beat of the band. Pep rallies were held every Friday, September through November from 8:15 to about 9 a.m.
