We ' ve Got Spirit, Yes We Do! Above: The Panther was game for many hunters, but the hunters never shot him down. Students showed their spirit and support for the athletic teams at the pep assemblies. Time was set aside for students to scream and yell and release tension from daily classes and activities. Assemblies pepped up the teams, which was evident in the victories. Washington won the N.I.C. again. Beans Van Camp spoke at each assembly, boosting the spirit and encouraging the stu- dents to cheer their football team on to victory. The band and the pompon girls performed, adding much color and festivity. Each class hollered its battle cry at the end of the assembly. Sometimes these yells continued in the halls throughout the school day. Above: Fred Malecki rallied much enthusiasm throughout the assemblies. 22 Activities
