MORP ... What a great idea! Morp was quite an experience for those who dared to enter the commons on November 7th. It was not just another dance or soc-hop Morp was the total opposite of prom- an indication was its name. MORP- prom spelled backwards. Those who attended came in sweats and t-shirts to complement the decorations which consisted of toilet paper and newspapers The masterminds behind this operation were AFS, and though AFS was organized enough to set up the dance, something had to go wrong That something was the music. The dance started at 7:28:03, but the music didn't start until 8:29:02 due to speaker trouble. Then followed the crowning of the Morp King and Queen. Chosen by drawing tickets out of a can. King Jeff Yeater and Queen Michelle Frisch were utterly overjoyed. People continued to dance until 10:28:09 when the dance ended. All walked out with quite a memory, whether good or bad.

Remember those pep assemblies? Pep assemblies this year were something to talk about I All of them were different in the sense that some were just an introduction of the players while others involved a little pie throwing or smashing. Then, of course, we had those cheerleaders- yelling and cheering their loudest until they could hardly breathe. Our newly formed pep club, alias the “baby boosters or the Tigers' Roar showed the majority of the spirit. This was the first year our football coach. Coach Minneci. would actually get down in front of the student body and introduce his players Our boys' basketball coach. Coach Flecker, was another story. He always put on qutie a show! Then we had our wrestling coach. Coach Bakeris. who finally got more fans to attend his meets. Regardless of who the coach was or for what sport, pep assemblies seemed quite popular among the student body. If not for fun and free entertainment, just for the fact of getting out of class!

We say PURPLE ... You say GOLD! ketball season. Sherrard's football cheerleaders were excellent considering that half of the them were new to the squads. Our junior varsity and var- sity both made it through very hot and some very cold games with a good amount of spirit. It was only on those rare, terribly rainy games that their spirit may have dwindled a little, but who's didn't? Sometimes they were even so loud that the football players could hear them on the |m field; no one could ever complain that they weren't loud enough. The three new junior varsity and the three new varsity adapted rather well and rather quickly to the experienced six. In order to see everyone's abilities, they tried a couple new cheers and pyramids. The crowd generated such a positive response that they carried those over into bas- The football cheering season went very well. The cheerleaders worked hard and it definitely paid off. The crowd even had some spirit; they would do such things as the wave and silent cheers. The cheerleaders even got the Boosters into the spirit though they were not always successful. v .» -• V. » •.- • Top: One of the new pyramids- wonder if they're in pain?
