Authorities on the matter agreed Lanier Pep Rallies have reached an all time high spirit level. The cheerleaders have really pumped up the excitement with cheers, stunts and skits that led the student body to laugh, but at the same time support the team. They have been aided immensely by the Tiger and Tigerette, Mike Sel- man and lan Lazenby. The Pep Club has also helped them reach those new heights and give the team more spirit. The majorettes have done rou- tines every week to the swinging tunes blared out by the band under the direction of Drum Major Michael Sanders. The drum section has helped the crowd keep the beat with rhythms for the cheers and cadences while the people join in. The football players, in a group near the side, have absorbed the spirit and thrown it out on the field during the games. The students have enjoyed many funny occasions. Some of them were when the cheerleaders portrayed members of every typ- ical football team, when several of the teachers became Berry pies, when the cheerleaders and pep club did modern dance routines and when the cheerleaders became munchkins and did a lit- tle dance step to a Fifth of Beethoven. Exactly half-way through the season there was a week when spirit was running high, but the pep rally was comparatively quiet. It was . . . 16 X ,Eli .. ,

Homecoming Day Was Wonder- 5 ,. I ful From Beginning fo End To start the day off right, the band worked on their show with the home- coming court. All day the halls appeared to be purple and white, as many got in the spirit by dressing appropriately. More pepping up the team was done than studying. Finally the climax came when the pep rally arrived. Miss Nabors was presented a dozen roses and almost that many embraces from the Varsity Cheerleaders for being their sponsor. Then the winner of the Poster Contest, Ray Cunningham, was awarded five dollars for his artis- tic show of spirit. The cheering mob almost resembled a church congrega- tion as they became silent for the procession of the court. The possible queens, with all the grace they could muster, strolled in their pattern around the gym floor. After the promenade, the pep rally reached a cli- max in spirit! Tiger Rag brought the rally and school to a close before the spirit could decline. if .F-iss V fr., , 1 Q if K I bisisi
