Pep Rallies Add to Season Football season brought more than just football games - it also brought pep rallies. The cheerleaders, band, Spirit Steppers, and PSOP performed each week, as they led students in cheers and routines. The pep rallies began with cheerleaders running down the center aisle as the stu- dents sang the fight song. Several cheers were followed by routines from the Spirit Steppers, PSOP skits, perform- ances by the band, and messages from the captains. Pep ral- lies concluded with the silent yell and the alma maler. Foot- ball players filed out of the auditorium, touching the door- way on their way out - a good luck tradition of Paschal football players. Pep rallies were as much a part of football season as the competition. Although the season ended in November, the spirit and enthusiasm lasted throughout the remainder of the year. Okay folks, what am I bid for this hmlthy, young football player? Mitch Parks, Mike Martin, and Sammy Basaldu speak during a pep rally.

Seniors Prepare For Graduation i ,.aaa ,,,,,,N.- . W.. W .4 Carl Cox and Deborah Perry browse through college brochures. Senior year was not always filled with fun and excite- mentg it was also a year to begin planning for the futuref From infinite choices, major decisions, such as college, col- lege major, or job decisions were made. The last year was a busy one because it involved testing and preparation for the future. For admission to most col- leges, seniors took one of the standarized tests - the SAT or the ACT. There were opportunities throughout the year to take advanced placement tests. Representatives from various colleges came to talk to students. Brochures and booklets were available in the counseling office to help with final decisions. Graduation announcements and caps and gowns were ordered early in the winter. Seniors were encouraged to take classes pertinent to post-graduation careers. The last year of high school was definitely filled with privileges. but it also required major decisions that affected the senior for the rest of his or her life.
