This morning I attended the CHS Pep Rally for tonight’s game against Oak Grove. It was loud (so loud that it caused this camera phone picture to look like I’m just a really horrible photographer). The 1st pep rally of the year its always funny to watch the sophomores. They are totally overwhelmed & unprepared.
The seniors showed out as usual. They were dressed in all black & had newspapers w/ ’09 painted in black that they held while the sophomores & juniors were doing there cheers. The funniest thing was a few teachers chose to join the seniors w/ their graduation date on their newspapers. So, among the many ’09s you had a few like ’95, ’77, ’54 and one teacher just had “dirt” written on his.
I’m sure the 1st period classes were very productive this morning after the students were just amped up for 30 minutes.
When I first moved to Clinton and experienced a pep rally, I was pretty blown away too. Actually the first thing I experienced in the gym like that was Clash of the Classes. Both amazing experiences. I don’t know if there is a way to travel around and rate the pep rallies of different schools, but it seems that Clinton High would top the list. EVERYBODY gets into it. From the sophomores up to the administration.

Yeah, I’m always impressed w/ the level of planning that goes into each week’s pep rally. Some teachers & students are spending a lot of time planning each.
Clash of the classes is a great place to steal ideas for our end of the school year event.
