Af ARIVICJN It's mspirarional! Everyone pulls together for a good h h t p 5 S P ll S uwont 6 rl 5. - Umor A main course of cold mashed potatoes covered with a generous helping of chocolate sauce and cold lumpy oatmeal with a dash of tobasco sauce sounded like a bizarre banquet. Actually, this constituted the cuisine for the annual Apollyras initiation party. ,L HThe party was diesigned to tadjust' the incoming juniors, choral director Mr. Ralph Duncan said. 'Alt helped everyone get to know each other. Seniors put new members through a battery of stunts that included dressing up in brightly colored clothes, donning make- up, spiked hair and a thorough dousing of shaving cream. Added to the already em- barrassing spectacle, everyone then traveled to the corner of Twelfth and Broadway to sing the school hymn. It was awful! Dinner wasn't what you would exactly call 'kosher', senior jimmy Swaf- ford said. Being a senior, I thought maybe I would be treat- ed with a little more respect, no such luck. Many initiated juniors agreed that the most embarrassing part of the ordeal involved being taken down Twelfth Street in IQVC SUCKS I front of their peers. ff I looked terrible! My hair, my clothes, my make-up, I was a mess! junior Leah Schmidt said. HI hid my face so no one recognize me. 'AAS a result of the initiation party, many friendships began that may not have otherwise. This closeness helped the choir tense situations like contests. One of the big events, choir traveled to Branson, Mo. and enjoyedgmany activities planned if'ori'7them. They visited the amusement park, 'tDog Patch USA, and the Passion Play held outdoors. The trip was great! We had a fun time on the way up on the bus, senior Steve Petrocelli said. Dog Patch was fun too, so much to see and so little time. With trips and parties held throughout the year, choir maintained a family-type relationship. This type of closeness really made the differ- ence at contest, which showed in Missouri. At the festival they performed in front of three judges who all gave them superior ratings. The choir also had no trouble performing when being direct- ed in a song by the various judges.

Being a pom pon girl is not as easy as people think, senior Kim Abbananto said. It is a lot of hard work, yet is self- rewardingf' The squad not only looked good, but peformed their routines with synchronization. Perfecting new dance moves for each assembly and half-time show took much time. The dances were hard to make up, senior Amy Poe said. You get one routine down for a three minute performance and the next day you must be able to clear your mind of all other routines for the new ones to come. The pom pons practiced everyday after school from 2:30 until 5. During the summer they practiced from 8 a.m. until noon. I was really proud of the way we did this year, senior head assing time.

The girls won first place at a collegiate competition, a first place trophy at the 1 1th Annual Pom Pon Contest at OU, and became a top-ranked squad. While the pom pons brought out their spirit through dance, the lion mascot created spirit through her humorous antics. Being mascot lets me be as crazy as I want to without being embarrassed or ashamed, senior Angela Ambrose said. Chosen from ten people, Angela scored the highest in her routine. Both the pom pons and the mascot helped not only in promoting school spirit, but in leading the teams to victory by boosting morale. E om pon.
