Pep rallzes are the most kznd of Splflf you can have' Iennzfer Swzgart K .gy ll ' I ' I I exuberatzng and outrageous L.H.S. Spirit. . . Deafening roars of chants and cheers can be heard for blocks around. Black and Gold can be seen on almost everyone. The team comes out and the roaring of the fans rocks the walls. The preceding scene can be observed at almost any pep rally or sporting event. The Westerners are known far and wide for exceeding pep and spirit shown during games and pep rallies. Kelly Holloway comments, l was over whelmed last year when I first came here by how much spirit everyone had. Then this year I caught it. Students are not the only ones who recognize the spirit of the school. Teachers, both new and old, can feel the excitement just before a big game, and they too get student life involved. Many teachers have a black and gold wardrobe for the special events throughout the year. Shane Trider and Scott Hall cheer for the ,L f Westerners victory. Photo by Reb Baker. sf. pf- it J- Q
