Getting Psyched Pep-Rally Has your day just been one class after another?l If so, we have the answer. Lets go to a Pep-rally! Get up, get dressed, and get your act together! Be- cause every year we show our spirit for our football team by holding strange and unusual events and we need you there! We first start out with a cheer to see who can cheer the loudest. Then all the players, coaches, and managers are introduced one by one. The cheerlead- ers are also on hand to assist each class with 15 seconds of continuous screaming, showing which class has the most spirit. After that one football player from each grade gets a female partner and participates in a relay event exchanging clothes. Then to get everyone really fired up up, the band plays the fight song. This gets everyone on their feet. And to top it off we get to see the Pom- Pons perform with grace and preci- sion. So be sure you're at school for the next PEP-RALLY!! 12 PEP RALLY Is this an alien? No, it's Mark Sager showing that he has more than class spiritp he's a true wildcat fan. Firing up the Freshman class, the cheerleaders lead them with the Cheer called Give me a W for the Wildcats.

Look! What Are Those Moving Masses? What? You really think that's a mountain? Well, if you stayed up all night working on those floats, I'm sure you would know what they are really supposed to be. Massive mounds of chicken wire, paper mache' with globs of paint, they sometimes turned out to be a bundle of nothing but garbage. Fun and friends! Those were the key words. Coofing off, eating McDonald's Food, and wondering, How will this thing work? Building the float turned out to be a fun social event, according to Kenny Morgan, a senior who donated his house as one of the float building sites. Who??? Each class, freshmen, sophomores, juniors and seniors, all competed to make a parade float depicting the theme, Bring out the wildcat in you. All classes had a house, a sponsor, and a bunch of spirited students eager to win the float-building contest. And this year's winner was the junior class! Those were huge, mangled pieces of art. Yeah! That's what they were. Protecting their Wildcat den, these eight seniors whose faces were made up by Jackie Codi and Hey even though the Sophomores came in last Chris Kerdock show off their costumes made by Mrs Zimmerman the home economics teacher place they still march with their float of chicken here at Northwestern. The senior's human Float got a second place banner wire and paper mache 14 PLOATS
