Rallies Boost School Spirit What did the majority of the students look forward to each week of a home game? The answer is obvious; the pep rally. The enthusiasm shown at pep rallies was remarkable. The school spirit exhibited was evidence of the support that students had for their team and school. Skits performed by the Varsity cheerleaders sometimes included other students and provided entertainment in addition to the cheers and pom-pom routines. Of course, the band was there to perform and also contributed to the excitement. It was a common practice for some students to shorten or give up their lunch periods in order to get a seat down front where the action was. But no matter where they sat, students at the pep rallies showed spirit and vitality that could not be missed or ignored. The crowd applauds while Irvin Jenkins accepts an outstanding award during football season. I6 Pep Rallies
