West ls Best And Norlh as lhe Qlufl' Pack a lunch day started off Power week, one of many spirit weeks that helped boost the school spirit before the big games. Take a sophomore to lunch and Watch day were some of the special days on the agenda for Power week. Next came West Week with the theme Psych West. Some dressed as West cheerleaders and pep dub officers. Others just wore blue and yellow to follow through with the Psych idea. There was also a homeroom decoration contest in which much time and energy was shown by groups of students who wanted to prove they had the most spirit. There was about ten of us who stayed at the school till after midnight. We worked, but had more fun than anything else. We wanted to win, said Kevin Roth, senior. Football homecoming was held during the North game and the theme for this week was Nuke HOMECOMING LAUNCH.

The Rai Pack And New Cheers Broughi About Some say the strength and eagemess expressed by the student body was like never before. The enthusiasm and excitement generated by the student body has helped to get the school year off to an extremely positive start, said Basketball Coach A. D. Burtschi. After winning the first football game of the season, spirits were high. Students never lost the motivation and drive that was necessary to make our school stand out above the rest. It was a fresh beginning and no one knew exactly what was in store. This year was the first for not having a pep club but that didn't stop the students from having enough in- itiative and creativity to get the whole student body involved in spirit making. Tee shirts were sold during the first weeks of school by seniors who were inspired to begin the P.C. Rat Pack. On game days, hundreds of these orange tee shirts were worn to school. They showed the power and energy the students were striv- ing to attain. We just thought of the idea in order to bring everyone closer together as a more unified student body. It went over real well and we feel proud to know that we have started something new. We want the underclassmen to continue the Rat Pack idea for the following years, said Todd Schultheis, senior. Many new cheers and expressions were formed dur- ing the year. Individual contributions were put together in an attempt to excite the crowd and create fresh, new ideas to help motivate the players and SILI- dent body. Some cheers that became popular were P.C. is bad I would say NO ONE has done it better than the P.C. mudentbodyof '85-86. -Mr, A. D. Burtschi SPIRITS SOAR. The Piratc's performance against Yukon received a -fl rating from the crowd. 14 PIRATE PRIDE to the bone and Oooh Psych. We wanted something different this year to cal ture people's attention. I'm not sure how we thougl of it but it's made a big difference in the enthusiasi of the students, said Ronald Dennis. The pep club officers and cheerleaders accepted greater challenge with no pep club to back them up. I think the pep club officers really put their be foot forward this year and discovered what made tl Pirates tick, said Brett Fenner, senior. From arranging assemblies, selling balloons, ril bons, and making signs, they created a speci atmosphere. On game days it's really neat seeing all of the sign pep club has made. It always gets me pumped for tl game ahead, said Mark Melton, junior. All of these factors started the year off with a bar and never stopped exploding. sz li sf i IN TENSITY SHOWS.
