GWB RALMES. We got spirit, yes we do! We got spirit, how 'bout you? was stomped and screamed by over half of Walnut's stu- dents on certain occasions. The occa- sions, of course, were the ever popular peprallies. Bizarre games seemed to dominate the spotlight at most of these ear-splitting events. Peeling a banana with your toes, burping contests, whistling with five - crackers in your mouth, kissing a cheer- leader Cwho's really your motherj, getting shaving cream sprayed on top of your , head, mourning for Damien, and the Mr. Bill Show were just a few of the rousing happenings. Topless Cheerleaders were promised to appear at the second rally. As the music started and the pep- sters began to bump and grind, jeff Richardson and Allen York rushed into the gym, taking their shirts off on the way, Cat-calls and whistles filled the air , 1 1 ADOING HER IMITATION OF GYPSY ROSE LEE, Michele Blake starts to take it off.

Pep Rallies but the sophomore football team stole the show by ripping off their jerseys and performing their own version of a bur- lesque show. , Walnut held its first night pep rally ever on October 11. The rally also doubled as the third Homecoming Assembly, to which the Courts' parents were invited. Surprisingly, the rally was widely attended by students.

But the burping con- test was the best because the freshmen out-did the seniors by a long-shot. Q

Two first place awards were given to the only entries in the float con- test, the French club and the Drama department. To compensate for the new regulation of having no cars or trucks carrying the floats, bicycles and a man-carried stage were used. Eight members of the French club peddled around the field with red, white and blue decorated bicycles. Clothed French style, the riders waved their half-eaten loaves of French bread to the audience. ln ren- aissance attire, the Drama depart- ment paraded an elevated queen fol- lowed by her lords, monks, and jes- ters. The band marched into formation and spaced themselves on the field. Sometimes We Reflect on the Good Times, the theme of Homecoming, echoed in the background. The alumni were scattered along the side- lines. Then the instruments hummed The Way We Were. When the final seconds of the game ticked off, the Walnut fans rampaged down from the stands.
