The spirit is building when the cheerleaders unite. Pep Rallies This year ' s pep rallies brought out enthusiasm and spirit in the sophomore and junior classes. Pep rallies encouraged people to participate as spectators at various sports events. The cheer- leaders organized activities in which the classes competed against each other. Clap- ping, cheering and yelling of the cheerleaders kept the spirit alive. The main purpose for the pep rallies was introducing the sports activities and building school enthusiasm. The rowdy juniors show their spirit. B %ii f Ji - -«=r ® football team is presented during U.C. High ' s first Pep Rally. flp I The juniors eagerly await the results of the class competition. 69

Dances Although our school was new, traditions never change, and dances were not one to be forgot- ten. Dances are the unforgettable times that make the school year memorable. The first dance of the year took place in the gym in September, with music provided by a local band called Tastey. The last basketball game of the season was followed by a dance with a disc- jockey from 13K who provided the music. P.T.S.A. was a great help in promoting and sponsoring after game dances, to keep school spirit and enthusiasm going strong. students enjoy, listen, and dance to the music.
