Pep Assemblies entertain, encourage Designed to promote spirit and encourage the teams. Pep Assem- blies were an important part of high school life. Except for the traditional Pep Club assembly, the duty of plan- ning, producing and performing the Pep Assemblies fell to the cheer- leaders. This year, they concentrat- ed on a variety of entertainment rather than one central theme for a skit. Special features in the assem- blies included the pink panther, a wrestling match, a mother-kissing game, tricycle rides and officers and cheerleaders from the opposing school. A panther hunt through the vicinity of West High, Pep Band, Pep Club, and player awards were an important factor of Pep Assemblies, as were the teams and coaches. 24

Critical Issues inform Titans Since 1976 was a year of national, state, and local elections, senate sponsered the Political Awareness Drive in an attempt to fight apathy. This drive included forums with senatorial candidates Orrin Hatch and Frank Moss, and representa- tives from Ford and Carter presi- dential campaigns. Alan Howe, spon- sered by the Social Studies Depart- ment, also talked to students. In December, representatives from all colleges in Utah came to Olympus. Each senior had the opportunity to attend sessions of three colleges. With speakers on inmate education, child abuse, survival, death, love, marriage, dating, and alcohol, Crit- ical Issues came in February. Stu- dents could attend two of the eight lectures. 26
