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.

Showing just a little bit of originality, Hillbilly Jackie Daly wears the standard attire but smokes her corncob pipe and keeps company with her porky friend. Dressing For Spirit Week The major activity sponsored by the Pep Club was Spirit Week, which climaxed with the Homecoming games on Friday night and the Homecoming dance and coronation ceremonies on Saturday evening. This year's Spirit Week activities, selected by the . cheerleaders, required the student body to dress up in some really “choice costumes, as can be seen on these pages. Inclement weather forced the cancella- tion of the annual Homecoming Parade through town, and the Pep Rally activities were held in the gymnasium instead of the city park. Even the football ELGIN DRUG STORE Jerry Sheets. R.P. 12 Elgin.
