When one thinks of the MHS rally they think of: spirit, enthusiasm, support, smiles, pretty faces and graceful moves. The 1983-84 rally was the same except for two exceptions — Pete Adamy and Dan Moon, they were the first ever male cheerleaders at Mac High. Our enthusiastic rally evoked community support by involving different businesses: Inparticular Artie Circle and McDonalds. Artie Circle supplied toy footballs and basketballs with McMinnville Grizzlies printed on them. The rally threw the balls into crowds at pep assemblies and evening games. McDonalds supported a lucky shot contest during halftime at the basketball games. A McDonald’s stamp was stamped in five programs on a different page each game. The five people who had the stamps would shoot at the free throw line and if successful they could shoot again at a later date from the top of the key. Winners received $250 cash each! Spirit, enthusiasm, and smiles were the key to the support the rally and pep band gave to all our grizzly teams. The rally attended all home and away games for Football and Basketball and attended all home meets and games for all other sports. They brought with them the smiles and spirit that led the Grizzlies on their way to a successful year. R J Photography .
