Pep Club, others boost Saxon spirit Spirit this year was not the goal of only a single group on campus. In diverse ways everyone contributed. Donna Lawicki, Pep Commissioner, led Pep Club in its tra- ditional activities which included special cheering sections, preparing locker favors, and giving secret pal gifts. Came days were colorful events on campus as red and gold streamers and sparkling posters appeared on lockers and in classrooms. Fresh baked goodies, Togo sandwiches, and more were delivered to the athletes of the day. Other pep boosting activities included class and couple competitions, and group entertainment during pep assem- bles. All students and faculty were able to participate in these directly and indirectly. 1 During a 50 ' s day assembly, Sharon Sneddon joins with other drill team members to perform a dance from the movie Grease 2.

Varied gatherings assemble spirit A variety of assemblies helped to promote school spirit. Not only were there the regular pep assemblies but there were also pep rallies and special assemblies. Some of the highlights of these assemblies were a dra- matic entrance by a fire engine, a pie-in-the-face for Mr. Rothrock, and the return of several former Loaraites including Loara ' s first Principal, O. C. Thomason. The class competitions were a new idea introduced to the Student Body by Sharon Waxman, Activities Commis- sioner. The competitions included the banana pass, the balloon stomp, the water balloon toss and the spirit can. Class competitions were added to most assemblies and proved to be eventful. It ' s a lot of work, stated Donna Lawicki, Pep Commis- sioner, But the majority of goals were fulfilled. I suc- ceeded in getting more groups involved in assemblies so everyone could have a chance to participate. 1.
