NHS PEP CLUB AND CHEERLEADERS SANDY IRWIN The High School Pep Club and Cheerleaders had a spirited Bicentenial year. They succeeded in spreading school pride and Racer spirit by making posters for the hall, selling spirit ribbons, conducting Pep assemblies, and many other fun activities. Homecoming was a beautiful success, which highlighted the fall season. They carried out the theme Spirit of '76' all through homecoming week. During this week the student body and the Pep Club were involved in various activities such as Pep Club girls singing Pep songs up and down the halls, spirit cans for the most spirited classes and a honk parade with decorated cars. TOP ROW: S. Ross, K. Underwood, Mrs. Long, J. Ballard, D. Housh, BOTTOM ROW: D. Thomas, T. Williams 21

RHYTHM WAS ACHIEVED BY THE MUSIC STUDENTS AS THEY PERFORMED This year was a time of change for music in Junior High. For the first time the seventh and eighth grades were not in the same class or even under the same teacher. This made for an unusual combination of seventh and ninth grades for one Christmas program and a separate program for the eighth grade. The seventh grade music class and their teacher, Mrs. Cornett, went Christmas Caroling through Newcastle and then enjoyed a party in the music room. The Christmas program was a great success and was the climax of a busy semester. Both seventh and ninth grade choruses and ensembles worked hard on contest music in order to get as many Su- perior ratings as possible. The Spring Concert was an exciting event which really displayed all the accomplishments of both grades throughout a busy year. 1ST ROW--Director C. Cornett, S. Thompson, D. Havens, D. Stone, S.
