They showed their spirit by coming to school in various attire such as hairdo’s, hats and clashing clothes. Approximately 800 posters plastered the walls of the school, and on 50’s day, a group of students truly relived the era as they did the Bunny Hop down the hall at noon. The finale was a pep rally held in the stadium in which noisemaker ABOVE: Members of the varsity football team clown their way through the Homecoming parade.

PEP BAND Spirit Makers Rally To Lend Tlieir Support The rally squads and pep band of MHS attended sporting events and lent their support to the White Buffaloes. Win or lose, the cheerleaders were behind the home team all the way. Varsity cheerleaders, Penny DuPont, Yolanda Leal, Cecelia Webb, Terri York and Paula Houck, travelled with the varsity teams, planned pep assemblies and made spirit posters, along with encouraging the student body to attend the games. School spirit came alive when the varsity basketball team nearly earned a state tournament berth. Leanna Freeman, Tammy Adkins, Kelli Thomas, and Susan McFarland, junior varsity rally members, represented the sophomore teams. These games, along with football, totalled approximately 45 games attended by these cheerleaders. Freshman cheerleaders were Julie Dendauw, Molly Davis, Lynn Douglass and Rose Ann Graham.

The MHS pep band, under the direction of Deane Jolstead, encouraged spirit by playing fight songs and popular tunes at pep assemblies and home games. Due to lack of time and money, the pep band was unable to attend all of the away games, but they made several road trips to the most important games. Practices were held a couple of times a week to prepare them for their performances each weekend. 18
