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.

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.
