Pcpp Pirates -- 'Class Battle Cry' UV-I-C-T-O-R-Y! That's the Pirate battle cry! This chant is familiar to all of us who attended the 3:14 Pep as- semblies in Kingman Gym. With this Class Battle Cry it could be proven which class could yell the loudest. The seniors undoubtedly win each year as the walls of the gym re- sound with a monstrous momentum that seems to rock it to and fro. Students gathered in Kingman Gym as the band played a tune to enliven the atmosphere and the Pomerettes quickly began their well-rehearsed dance steps. Excitement was generat- ed as the students with some help from the cheerleaders, proclaimed their support of the diverse sports teams. At times, different coaches gave an appreciative speech and encouraged everyone to show his support and en- thusiasm by attending the games. The pep assemblies were not al- ways accepted with an excited re- sponse but they did create a good stu- dent involvement which progressed and became better as the year went on. Above.

There are always exceptions to a rule and those who frequent the bakery, like freshman Tim Mezel, seem even to avoid gain, ing weight for their indulgence. Right. Physical education and competitive ath- letic teams endure vigorous practice which help keep students in good shape. I l n Dietsf2 5 I
