Pep assemblies provide A TIME TO SHOUT ffvvj, t One of the many 'good times this year was attending the pep as- semblies. lnstead of the pep band, we were greeted by sounds of the entire band warming up to play Green and White Forever. Watching the Drill Team and the Flag Corps perform to live music this year was a treat for everyone. To keep the 'pep in the assem- blies, the cheerleaders worked hard all year leading the student body in cheers, performing skits, and help- ing the senior football players do their annual male cheerleader skit. When the cheerleaders did the bat- tle cry at the first pep assembly, the eighth grade kept up the tradition of not knowing what to do. One by one, the senior basketball and football players took their turns at speaking to the student body. One senior stood out among them all. Joe Fink Victory roused the crowd with requests like, Wolves, come out and play and Don't go up town tonight, come party with us C football teamj under the lights! We always ended the rallies with Green and White Forever and a mad dash for lunch. The Freshmen and Sophomores do the battle cry during the first pep assembly. The entire band plays Green and White Forever to begin the assembly. Student Life

I Wm 'W 5 h XFN-wh 'Fw -Q -u SHS Senior Races Gn S For senior Chris Carrell drag racing is an exciting way to spend the weekends. He began competing in the high school class at the age of fifteen. He became interested in racing when he helped his cousin Ricky with his races by pulling the dragster back after each race. Chris travels every Sunday to Ardmore where he has come in as high as third place. He was also named as 'Rookie of the Year for l986 in Ardmore. He competes in both the high school and super pro class. Competition takes place mostly during the spring and summer, but at any time during the winter, when the weather is dry and the track is clear, the Ardmore racetrack opens and the Carrells can be found. ' The cost of racing is very high. In Ardmore. the entry fee costs anywhere from fifty to seventy- five dollars. When Chris compet- ed in Dallas and Amarillo, the en- try cost was 5l5Q The car he races Cas seen above in a photo of him in Amarilloj has run up to I52 miles per hour, and his fastest time was clocked at 8.92 seconds for a quarter-mile. The engine, required to attain this speed, runs on fuel which costs 54.617 a gallon. Looking toward the future, Chris said he would like to com- pete after graduation and wants to make a career out of racing. Two other students at Semi- nole High School compete in auto racing but they run their races in Cameros. Seniors Cris Pogue and Stacy Johnson also experience the ' exhilaration of speeding down the quarter-mile raceway at top speed. . ,,... xx x 'ig A mall s 1 si f fi il il ' Student Life Teachers Two new teachers have joined the ranks of Seminole High School this year.
