Standing in the shadow of the sign to avoid the glare of the sun, Darlene Cunning ham holds an armload of books while awaiting the arrival of her ride. To encourage school spirit Nancy Dotson, Kathy Hirschy, and Francine Hahn put up posters for the game on Friday in hopes that they will boost the team to victory. I5 'fu , l 13' , ,A tp!!

After school's a great time THE SPIRIT of Washington High still throbs after the final bell rings. Small groups of students congregate in front of the gym for a last minute chat before the bus arrives to take them home. TRYING OUT for Harvey , learning to cook and sew, and putting a radio together were part of the many extracurricular activi- ties offered bv clubs on the WHS camous. WINNING A game, earning a letter, or accomplishing a task, builds pride in students. Reading posters, carrying armloads of books, and talking between classes put variety into an average school day for students in the locker area. nf' After the long school day, these girls gather in the crowded corridors to talk about the day's events. Pam Wiles and Cheryl Spooner carry balloons and a poster to publicize a candidate in a class election. I4 A

ln the final moments of this spirited pep assembly the six members of the varsity cheer squad combine with the ten pom members to lead the student body in the WHS fight song. This was one of the few football assemblies held in the gymnasium. The 1969-70 pom line often performs clever skits in the pep as- semblies before school. ln this interesting skit, Connie Traber does her thing by representing an electric mixer. At a morning pep assembly, varsity cheerleaders Darcel Roether and Donna Kitchens lead the spirited Rams in a new cheer. Assemblies mean lots of action EVERYONE COME to the pep rally! Megaphone in hand, Francine Hahn scoured the WHS campus like a cowboy rounding up strays. Soon she and the other cheerleaders had gathered a portion of the student body into the gymnasium to see another spirited Friday morning pep assembly. ONLY A couple of the morning pep rallies could be held in the gym during the football season. Throughout most of the season the gym remained closed to allow time for a new floor to be installed before the basketball season started. The rest of the pep assemblies were held in front of the gym so that the Ram fans could still boost the team and school spirit. These rallies often began with a couple of cheers followed by a skit done by the pom, Ram- bleaires, or cheer squads. Occasionally a member of the team or a coach would speak to the students about the team they would soon face.
