T-Shirt M sages Emphasizij Class Spirit at {tallies Fridays meant that stu- dents could release five days of tension by showing spirit for the football team. Lor I Hunt Students from every class, teachers, guest speakers, band members, Cardettes, cheerleaders, and Big Mac Keepers all gathered at 3 pm in the Field House for pep rallies every Friday for 12 weeks. They screamed, chanted, and cheered. Traditionally, classes competed for the spirit stick. Trying to out do the other classes was the highlight of all pep rallies, remarked Sophomore Sandi Dixon. Freshmen, Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors each competed with their own style. Freshmen showed their enthusiasm through spray painted jeans, shirts, and numerous signs. Sophomores chose Earnest, the spokesperson for Braum ' s, to represent their spirit. Juniors adopted the title of Pep Boys. Seniors displayed painted jeans, masks, and Supercard Shirts. Cheerleaders and Big MacKeepers arous- ed school spirit as they led the students in catchy cheers. Cardettes added a moment of entertainment by performing various routines to the beat of the band. The last pep rally before state playoffs belonged to the Seniors. The Senior Cardet- tes performed, while Varsity Cheerleaders and Big Mac Keepers presented a skit en- titled, Heaven in ' 87 to the song Memories . Being called to the floor, Seniors stood in a circle for the annual Senior Ring. Senior Big Mac Keeper Katherine Bongfeldt led the singing of the Alma Mater, while the Senior Class linked arms and joined in. Above LEft: All decked out in spirit gear Keith Williams.
