Pep Rallies 15

Pep rallies were like a show with dif¬ ferent acts all going on at the same time. The cheerleaders cheered, the band played Horse, and the flags and the drill ream performed. Then there was Ellen Ab- shire, our official Viking mascot, who ran around and made the whole room come alive. But how was this all put together, and who was behind it all? Mr. Thomas Gaul summed if up in one sentence. The cheerleaders planned it and set a date, I okayed it, their problems were sent to me, and I usually couldn’t solve them!” Actually, that was pretty close to what really happened. The cheerleaders would plan to have a pep rally and set the date with the cheerleading sponsor, Mrs. Karen Garon ' s help. After it was okayed by Mr. Gaul, Punked-out flute players? Patty Wight, Jane McCar¬ thy, and Sandy Schoegler get into the spirit of spirit week os they look to Mr. Gory Zolmon for instruction. The bond members always tried to outdo everyone else when it come to being spirited. Let ' s get it straight girlsl Bond director, Mr. Gory Zolmon, checks with the flog performers to moke sure they know whot to do. The flogs were port of the bond and Mr. Zolmon was in charge of them os well os the bond players. How many are there? If seems os though these varsity football players ore infinite in number, but actually there ore nor quite thor many. All through the football season, the ployers were osked to sit in that section of the stonds of every pep roily. The Show Goes On each group (the band, the cheerleaders, and the drill team) practiced on their own and then brought if all together on that fateful day. That fateful time” was one that usually lasted for about half an hour at the end of sixth period. But as soon as Mr. Gaul made his ever-populor announcement to come on down to the gym,” the hoopla began. Hordes of spirited students filled the gym to its full capacity. Students were enthusiastic about pep rallies for different reasons. Some looked at if as a way to get out of class. But then there were those who wanted to show their spirit, and still others wanted to cheer on their teams. As senior Sandy Gaddy pointed out, School spirit is really impor¬ tant; it ' s not only a way of getting everybody excited about the games, but it ' s also a way of unifying the student body.” 14 Student Life

Silent vigil. Varsity cheerleader, junior Lauren Salmon, stands steadfastly and watches the football team she spends so much time cheering for play a game. Cheerleading demonstrated spirit and displayed an outgoing personality. The Roles Jusr like actors, students are many faceted characters. There ore the athletes and the cheerleaders, the listeners and the talkers. There are the players and there is an audience. Some rake an active part in school life, others sit and watch. Even as themselves, students continually prove that they are versatile and always changing. When that final bell rings, students shed their school roles and don those of their own personal lives, those outside of the classroom. Roles ore varied as seen in the large number of activities that students rake part in. Sometimes, there are different parts played during People Ploy school when students are out of their classes. Some students rake a great part in school related activities. Holding class of¬ fices, playing a sport, or joining a club are jusr a few. Others prefer to use their free time in other ways. These range from holding a job to relaxing at a video arcade. Students need time to themselves and there are many ways to spend this time. These students excel in everything they do regardless of whether it is a book report or getting a high score on an arcade game. I don ' t remember studying that. Junior Frank Finomore goes over class notes with two fellow classmates. Lunchtime gave students on opportunity to socialize and get lost minute studying done; o chance to sit and folk with friends. Just a dob more white here ... Juniors Julie Wolburn and Mary Troknyo prepare to march in the homecoming parade. The students who participated in homecoming activities gave a great deal of time and effort to show their enthusiasm. 16 Student Life
