It was just over one year ago
when I was sitting in Sullivan
Gym trying to be taught a chant
that went something like “We
are…Wildcats…Number…One!”
that it came to me—rallies are
terrible. Let’s face it, rallies were
no fun last year, and it seemed at
the time that it would be that way
forever. They were as consistent
a disappointment as every
episode of “Saved by the Bell:
College Years.”
Despite my poor expectations
for this year’s rallies, I must say
I’ve been very impressed with
this year’s rallies so far. They
have succeeded in getting the
students into the rally, and perhaps
more importantly, have kept
them as short as possible. Because,
really, despite how much
fun a rally can be, at 2:50 we’re
ready to leave.
Seniors Jeff Wolanin and Matt
Lobe were able to keep the Fall
Sports Rally seem short, even
though rallies of that type can
drag on. And the simple fact that
the Homecoming Rally, M.C.-ed
by Jack Froliklong and Jim
Walter, actually had Homecoming
floats, thus making it better than
last years. I mean how can you
beat Bill Gorie walking into the
gym as AWK?
I’m hoping that the rest of the
year’s rallies can match what has
been done so far this year. And
hopefully, many of the rallies will
result in a free day.
