A breath-taking view of the bonfire prior to the Brookville football game. One of the many billboards to help publicize Terry Gaddy’s famed jump. FRLUAT OCTOBER 4, 1974 (DURING HALF TIME OF FB GAME S TERRY FVIL GADDY WILL “— f 5 or THE OLD BUILO NEW Burn The Bees Brookville never had a chance this year. There was an atmosphere in the air that seemed electrified. The tension was in- tensified ten-fold the night before the game when an eleven foot tall stack of wood provided by the Winebarger Furni- ture Co., was set aflame. Never before had a pep rally been so successful. The thirty foot inferno instilled in the players and student body the urge to bring home a victory, something that had not been done against Brookville in a long time.

Rah. Rah. Rah.. Pep rallies played a large part in not only football games but also in basket- ball games, too. With the help of the cheerleaders and Mr. Pendleton in having the pep rallies, the student body pitched in with the yelling, screaming, and good times. The pep rallies helped in more ways than just getting the team up for the game. It brought peo- ple together, formed competition be- tween classes, and most of all gave everyone a sense of superiority. The Senior Class sponsored a bonfire. This gave enough spirit to beat a team which the Devils had not beaten in five years. Not only did the student body give a lot to the pep rallies, but the band proved its worth more times than once. In every pep rally, the whole school participated either together or one by one. Jeff Whately, Poo Anthony, David Farmer, and Kenny Tweedy “horse around” during a pep rally. igngnee Reroars ce amen Exhilarant students create excitement at one of the last pep rallies.

“‘Do you think he’s going to come down that chimney?” asks John Johnson. Time Out bs The first assembly dealt with the orientation of the entire student body to the rules and regulations of the campus. Clubs had their say so in the recruiting of new member as well as to spur the interest of old members. Assistant Principal Forrest Jones gave his views on the rules of the school and Dean of Students Carter Elliott said not to miss many days for fear of his wrath. Freshmen were awarded with their own personal assembly to tell them where to go when they needed assistance. The magazine sale put pep i n the lives of the sales-oriented students. Students got first hand experience in the selling of magazines, and got recognition and prizes for their dedication. The classes also were helped by the magazine drive because for every subscription sold, one dollar was received by the class treasury of the salesman. As the Christmas season came around, the SCA and the SAM members jointly sponsored a Christmas program. The band and the chorus each gave an excellent performance of Yule Music. After the performances of the cultural departments, a satirical version of ‘‘The Night Before Christmas” was given. There was a special appearance of Santa and his eight tiny reindeer led by Rudolph (played by the faculty). Everyone had a great time, and by the end of the assembly, the whole student body was rocking to the joy of the holiday season. hi te il el’ Bi ein Rn ——= a lo The reindeer, played by a few of Rustburg’s faculty, watch intently as Santa Claus The Christmas tree in the abe lobby | fills the stockings. gave the student body a sense of joy and happiness. ; 26 Student Life
