Game Prep ls Heotic For All Involved lt was that time of the year - football season, The hulking varsity player started to have doubts about the hurt, pressure, and strain he had been putting his body through. He had good intentions about staying in shape during the summer, but after a part-time job, vacation. and parties with friends, that was no longer a top priority. He was at least thankful that those man- killing two-a-days were over. He was able to find a few muscles that weren't sore and was pretty sure nothing was broken for the time being. Running around the track, his atten- tion was drawn across the field to where the Spirit Stepper drill team was going through its routines. As he started look, ing, the cheerleaders also caught his eye, He used to think a guy had to be a sissy to be a cheerleader, but as he watched them holding girls above their heads, turning back flips, and looking like Mr. Universe contestants, he knew he had been wrong. The band. practicing behind the team, had just finished formation and had begun to play the school fight song. The song made him not only proud to be a part of the team, but proud to be playing for his school. Somehow the hurt wasnlt as painful anymore.

Spirit Is Boosted During Homecoming Pep Rally At 1:30 a.m. the senior girl's date kissed her goodnight and she went inside. She recalled the flurry of preparations of the last few weeks that seemed to involve everyone. She and forty-five other senior girls had spent hours lear- ning a dance to Victory, which they performed at the pep rally while dressed in the football players' uniforms. Banners with the football players, names and numbers had been hung in the auditorium by PSOP. Hot and crowded, the pep rally had by far been the best one of the year. At the game everyone cheered when Erica Flores won the title of Homecoming Queen. Although the Panthers didn't win, there was still the dance at Round'Up Inn where the Pengwins would play. Though she was sad that homecoming was over, she was also happy. All the work and the worry had paid off in the form of the best homecoming she had ever had. Varsity cheerleaders show their skill in a pyramid stunt. lt came from heaven. Purple and white balloons drop at the end of the homecoming pep rally.
