Expanding Spirit Membership For the first time in recent history, the Pep Club wel- comed boys into its membership. There were no changes to the Club’s responsibilities, however, which included cheering for the PHS teams, running the con- cessions stand for home football games, sponsoring Parents’ Night, Planning and conducting Pep Rallies, planning and supporting Spirit Week, and sponsoring the Homecoming Dance. The cheerleader competition brought another first to PHS. Two Freshman boys good-naturedly participated in the tryouts to insure that there would still be six cheerleaders in 1984. With their overall support throughout the school year, is it any wonder that the Pirate girls had respect and admiration for their male counterparts. Top right, cousins Bruce and Lance Benda are the only male members left to cheer when the boys' basketball team takes the floor for the Bartlett game. Above left, the Cheerleaders pause for some fun at the Homecoming football game. Center right, the boys provide mor- al support at a volleyball game.
