That Viking spirit Fatl Friday mornings are special for one reason at Walker High School — PEP RALLIES. These wild-and-outrageous, thirty minute, spirit-lifting sessions are what get us started each fall. Pep rallies pro- vide us with a break from our day-to-day schedules. No wonder everyone likes them so much. Besides the break, pep rallies fire up the football team, provide a little class competition, and give all students a chance to let our hair down . This year ' s season of pep rallies prov- ed to be a most competitive one. The sophomores proved to be the most dangerous contingent against the Seniors for the most spirit sticks won. But, of course, the Seniors came out on top, as Seniors will. The 1986-87 pep rally themes were some of the most imaginative in years. Costumes ranged from RED-HOT! Sophomores to ghostly and ghastly Seniors, to, of course the traditionals: Hawaiian and toga parties. Top: Seniors sure know how to have fun. This group teaches their underclassmen a lesson in making pyramids. Middle Left: Don ' t we all? (hate Dora). Walker Senior Tim Allen expresses the general consensus. Middle Right: Proud of their spirit stick, head Cheerleader Kelly West presents Miss Dodd with the spirit stick they won at summer camp. Bottom: Seniors always have the biggest turnout at pep rallies. These Seniors express their spirit with a wild display of enthusiasm. 14 Student Life Pep Rallies

The traditional walk Songer Gym has been the site of some pretty wild pep rallies. But none have seen the likes of the 1986-87 homecom- ing pep rally! This was a time to cut loose, which is exactly what Walker High School students did. At 7:00 p.m. Thursday, Oc- tober 30, 1986, Songer Gym roared with cheers of encouragement led by the Senior football players ' mothers. These ladies might be older but they are definitely RED-HOT! . Next were the infamous boy cheerleaders. Their routine to Velcro- Fly was too much for the audience and all the Seniors began to bunny-hop. The 1986-87 boy cheerleaders included: Magee Scarbrough, Scott Alexander, Charlie Woods, Gary Booth, Thomas Perrine, Beau FreeJnan, Toby Banks, Richard Ingle, Randall Drummond, Mike Woodley, Scott Anthony, and Ronald Richardson. Each class had its own theme. Of course, the Senior class kept the faith and wore the togas. The Juniors went Hawaiian. The Sophomores dressed in red and the Freshmen celebrated the season in Halloween costumes. Last, but certainly not least, the homecoming queen was announced. All of Walker High bowed to their queen as Mrs. Martin called Lisa Kiker ' s name. The finishing touch was for the Seniors to get sentimental at their last pep rally as Walker High School students. The cheerleaders ' emotional skit could have brought a tear to every senior ' s eye. The pep rally ended with all the seniors in the middle of the gym floor hugging, laughing, tind crying as the Alma Mater played. After the pep rally, everyone went to the baseball field for more cheering at the bonfire. Top: The boy cheerleaders ' pyramid was quite a winner. Boy cheerleaders are: Randall Drummond, Richard Ingle, Charlie Woods, Gary Booth, Toby Banks, Scott Anthony, Ronald Richardson, Thomas Perrine, and Beau Freeman. Middle: The Senior football players ' mothers made sure to let everyone know that they were RED-HOT! Bottom: The Senior class was high in spirit. No wonder they won the spirit stick!!
