CHEERING: At the pep ral- ly prior to the Alice game, the faculty formed a cheer- leading squad. Faculty mem- ber, Sheryl Roehl, was one of the special squad who performed. HUDDLE: The team was in a huddle, the captain at the head ... was a popular cheer in the faculty ' s day. The faculty cheerleaders gave a new twist to the cheer when they used Harry Mc- Cluskey, head football coach in the cheer. PEP RALLIES t

Pep rallies are for getting LOUD! It ' s 8 a.m. on a Fri- day morning in Octo- ber. The band, with the drums beating, leads the way to the gym for the pep rally. Al- though most of the stu- dent body didn ' t at- tend the weekly pep rallies, those who did, felt the excitement slowly creeping into their veins as they heard the band play. Fifties Day found JoAnn Stovall, princi- pal, serenaded by choir members, as they sang a medley of 50 ' s hits. The highlight of each rally was the class challenge as each class tried to out yell the oth- er in order to win the spirit banner. Arms were flying and people danced in competition for the banner. They help boost the morale of the team, said Michael Delesma, senior football player, of the pep rallies.The ex- citement that pulsates through the gym really gets the students pepped up. Pep rallies fire me up and get me ready for the game, Jason Gusman said. THE TWIST: Entertaining the school can be full of fun. Trent Green and Yolanda Brown of the Rockin ' Raiders dance the twist at the 50s day pep rally. LET ' S HEAR IT: During the early morning pep rally, the classes competed for the spirit banner. The freshmen tried hard and finally re- ceived the banner at the final pep rally. HOMECOMING: Celebrating the twentieth homecoming, a night pep rally was held at the track. All graduates were rec- ognized and several special guests were present. Football team members Richard DeLe- on,30, Alex Solis,24, and Donald Ramey, 15, enjoy the entertainment. PEP RALLIES

When you least expect.. GOTCHA! Walking through the hallways, thinking you ' re alone, you get the urge to dance and sing softly to your- self. So you do it. Standing in front of the second floor hall mirror, you make faces that you ' d never make in front of anyone. Opps! All of a sudden you hear a click of a camera shutter. You ' re caught in that embarrassing stance by a yearbook photographer. That mo- ment is forever caught on film. There is no erasing what has already been done. Catching someone at an unexpected moment is always fun. We always seem to be doing amusing things, yet when caught, we are often a bit em- barrassed by what develops on film. I often sing to myself when I ' m alone in the hall, Kelly Amecke, jun- ior, said. I sometimes practice my cheers when I ' m somewhere and think that 1 am alone, said Kathy Muhlstein. We don ' t mind doing things that are amusing but we hate getting caught. My friends and I pass notes to each other in class, Mary Kay White, junior, said. My stuffy teacher read one to the class one time. Sometimes people read assign- ments aloud to themselves when they think they ' re alone. When they are caught, they sometimes feel as though the one who catches them thinks they are crazy. I sometimes read my English as- signments aloud, and some of my re- ports are so weird I ' d hate for anyone to hear me reading them ' Chrystal Wotipka said. Sometimes the teacher catches you doing something you ' re not sup- possed to be doing. During films I find it hard to stay awake so I catch a few zzz ' s, Broder- ick Harris, freshman said. WRONG BOOK: Karen Janak prefers reading A Flame in the Flowers instead of her ac- counting book. IB GOTCHA!
