21 Brealc7 Have o Smoke. I don't go to the pep rallies because they're noisy and dumb. Why do all those people stand in there and scream? It gives me a headache. Besides, I'd rather smoke a cigarette and talk with my friends. I need a break in the morning, con- stituted the consensus of several non-pep rally goers. On the pro-rally side, however, Don Burt said, Pep rallies get people going, NM,-TWO Bits? feeling good and psyched up for the game. The band's music and the crowd's enthusiasm send a chill down my spine. I love Westlakeg l'm proud of my school. A band member offered a different point of view -that of pep rally participant. I like themg they're lun. l'm not sure if they help the team any, but I hope sol As with other things, sometimes the 'boogie band' is taken for granted. The cheerleaders and fans expect us to keep up the rhythm of the cheers and aren't always appre- ciativef' Pep rally content has Whvil-MM changed. The cheerleaders pre- pared skits for every rally except Homecoming. Pink panthers, merry men, Claws, and Charlie Elgin Brown moved across the gym floor, generat- ing laughter and good feelings in most of the students, many who came just to see what they've cooked up this time. Yeah, last year I didn't go to any of the pep ral- lies, but this year I do attend. I like the skits best . . . and the class competition cheer least. That class competition seems dumb. I don't cheer, but I listen and watch, observed Andrea Turk. According to Tommy Jackson, Sometimes it's just another pep rally, but when we're in the right frame of mind, it psyches us up and gets us ready for the night's game. I enjoy them, they make me feel good. Student nurse Debbie Korbach felt, The division of the classes physically, plus the class competition yells, defeat the purpose of the pep rally. Aren't we cheering for Westlake? A few students and some faculty members cast yet other votes on the pep rally issue. I come for the cheerleaders' skits. They make the pep rallies. A worn-out tradi- tion is that of the coaches' pep talksg they're a put-on. Coach Phil Bounds' Cameron talk, however, inspired me. I really wanted to see that game. l'd support his view that if we did our best on the field and inthe classroom, we'd be the best in the state. - DiAnna McGill
