i|ht fover RALLYING TOGETHER FOR ONE TEAM Meaghan Penney At first all is quiet, the stage prepared for glory. The silence is suddenly broken as students fill the seats, the crowd files in. and the cheering begins. Wliose house? Our house! Who are we? Siegfried! The West is the best... We are Zahm Hall... University pride is evident in every student ' s loyalty to his or her dorm. Irish fans shout in unison for the most deco- rated team in college football history. From the dark tunnel below emerges the mighty leprechaun, who is greeted by a flood of cheers and immense energy from the crowd. All of the cheering still can- not drown out the rising sound of a familiar tune. Led by the Irish Guard, the oldest univer- sity marching band rushes onto an already chaotic scene and fills the air with the sounds of the Notre Dame Fisiht Song. ROCKY LEPRECHAUN Buiiium.

Mike keeps the crowd energized at every pep rally. Cheer, cheer for old Notre Daiue... Freshmen through se- niors recite the lyrics that they know so well, the beloved words that transcend age. gen- der, and class. Professors, alumni, and students with strained voices, buzzing hands, and ringing ears, wait for what is to come. Here come the Irish... As the lights dim and spot- lights dance across the floor, football players and coaches enter the arena and enjoy their moment of glory. The JACC barely contains the enthusiasm. The surge of positive energy one feels at a Notre Dame pep rally is contagious. On six Fri- day nights during the fall se- mester, students are reminded that they are a part of a com- munity whose tradition is un- paralleled. A place where spirit and pride are not weakened by even the most challenging week or football game. Photo by: Brad Gotf
