Left: NO PEP RALLY is complete without an Elvis song from Gary Harris. Gary was also a contributing member to the 80-81 varsity football team, and is e member of a gospel rock group, Fathers Finest. From the cheerleaders skits and the bands hair-raising drum cadences to Whitey Tucker's football poems and every detail in between, Sprayberry's pep rallies are each unique. One can feel the tension building from the moment he steps through the doors of school to hear that longed for phrase uttered: We're on a pep rally schedule. It means each students class will be cut live minutes, and at 2:35 he will be able to join in and let loose at an intense Sprayberry pep rally. Starting as a joint effort between the Varsity cheerleaders, the faculty and various other organizations, the pep raIly's main goal is to fire-up the players and encourage jam-packed stadiums and gyms. This it does, as proved by the lingering, exhilarating spirit displayed by fans at the games . . . The success of a pep rally depends upon a conglomeration of skits, cheers, chants and even an occasional surprise guest. Whatever the itinerary, the result is always the same - a gym full of vivacious spirit consisting ol representatives from every class and organization. 29
