Q0 . -S QQ if i TRADITIONS Pep Rallies Build Unique Wildcat Spirit We're on our way up! This described the attitude of the entire student body as they backed the Wildcats in the spirit-filled pep rallies. Students stood, yelled, clapped their hands and jammed', in the stands as they worked with the cheerleaders, band, and drill team to support the guys. Each pep rally contained contest between the classes. Musical chairs, tricycle races, Pee Wee Herman, and ice cream eating con- tests name a few. judges used a point system to grade each contest and after the last pep rally, they tallied the points up to determine the winner. The sophomores edged by the seniors by one point, followed by the freshmen and juniors. I had a lot of fun racing to see who could eat ice cream the fastest without using your hands. I had chocolate ice cream all over my face, but it was worth it, Brent Barclay, sophomore, said. Toward the end of the season, spirit boosted higher as the Wildcats made it to the play-offs for the second consecutive year. Pep rallies assembled on the square while shoe polishing store windows to get community involve- ment became the in thing to do. We had a blast coloring on the win- dows of local businesses with shoe polish. People who watched us seemed to have just as much fun as we did, Dana Stewart, senior, said. NUMBER ONE.

50 TRADITIONS Farmers Exhibit Auction Projects The early morning dawn cleared as the first truck ar- rived. The clean air became filled with the thick smoke which came from the carefully prepared pots of stew being cooked. The activities started as several Ag students began to bring their projects into the Civic Center. All these preparations were for the F FA Stew and Auction. Exhibiting in the project show, cooking stew, and collecting auction items were some of the activities as the Stew and Auction. The Auction is a lot of work but I enjoy it because it gave me a chance to hang around with all my buddies, Marty McKinzie said. The FFA Stew and Auc- tion gave the students an opportunity to show their projects that they have worked so hard on throughout the school year. I really liked coming to the Auction. At first, I thought it might be boring but it turned out to be a lot of fun and the stew was pretty good too! Chuck Vititow commented. SHOWING OFF. RuAnn Hull .rbowf berprojecl in the ag thaw.
