Students Jam, Shout at Pep Rallies Pounding drums, blaring horns and thundering tubas vibrated through the air as the students poured into each weekly pep rally. Got to Get You Into My Life. a familiar entrance melody, started the pep rally off with a bang as the stu- dents began jamming to the music. Eager dancers sought the gym sidelines to display their style and verve. Miss Regina Holinshead. vice principal, and William Pompey. sci- ence librarian, supervised these cho- rus lines, maintaining a semblance of order around the shimmying bodies Principal Lloyd Mims, playing ring- master. directed the class sections in a competition for the Spirit Stick. Alternating between the sides of the gym. he called first for the freshmen, seated in the bleachers above the seniors After a few weeks, the freshmen put out an acceptable volume when shouting: Two bits, four bits, six bits, a dollar. All for freshmen, stand up and holler! Sophomores, perched above the juniors, repeat- edly won the competition with an ear-splitting demonstration of cheers and screams. Head Coach Nick Hyder climaxed proceedings by thanking students for their support and encouraging their attendance at the game to come.
