Another group which helped make this pep rally a success was the band, who played their competition music en- abling the school to see the talent of their fellow classmates. One last event which caused the students to continue yelling was the sundae contest between classes. Each class chose one representative, with the senior class choosing Steve Morris, the juniors choosing Kent Pond, the sophomores drafting Russ Gammon, and the freshmen forcing Tony White to compete for the spirit point. All contestants emerged with dirty faces and cramps, but Steve Mor- ris was the ill champion. Cheering their class representative on, the stu- dents found the ice cream sundae eating contest a success.

SUNDAE SPIRIT As the student body proceeded to- ward the football field, the first official pep rally of the year began with clear skies and high spirits. Most students were glad to get out of sixth period while others complained about having pep rallies outside due to the construc- tion of the gym. As the senior class filed down the center of the football field, shouts came from the stands filled with underclassmen. Each senior wore a sign with his class status as the entire class marched to center field and squared an imaginary corner in front of the stands. The cheerleaders, organizers of Thomas Dale’s pep rallies, led the stu- dents in the fight song. Next Mr. Sub- lett announced the 1983-84 football team. The captains, Joe Volpe and Robert Haskins, helped to get the stu- dent body into the school spirit by leading the football team in a few of their favorite chants. The student body then showed their spirit with a participation cheer. Screaming, clapping and shouting were heard throughout the stadium from every class. One big struggle this year will be between the seniors and the juniors. This year’s juniors were (continued to pg. 21) With his usual humor, Robert Haskins gives his impression of Dick Tracy.

GEEK? On the night of March 18, a strange invasion occurred at Thomas Dale. The invasion of the Geeks took place in the cafeteria where the 1983 Geek Week Dance was to begin. This dance, spon- sored by the SCA, gave the females a chance to ask a favorite male out and to assume all the duties the role usual- ly has to offer. The Friday night dance was pro- ceeded by a week full of Geek activi- ties. The activities included Twin Day, a couple dressed alike; Bring Your Date Lunch Day, the girl bought lunch to her favorite guy; Ancient Geek Day, the student body was to dress like their favorite ‘‘ancient Geek’; Slave Day, the girl slaved all day for the guy and Super Geek Day where, of course, the students were to dress as their favorite ‘‘super Geek’’. At the be- ginning of the week, the participation was very good, but as the week came to an end the student body failed to participate as much. The dance though, did receive much participation from the student body. Although interrupted by the photographer, Cliff Elrod and Sam Warren continue dancing the night away. Swaying to the beat, many couples enjoy the relaxing tempo of a slow dance. 22 Geek Week
