“Pure Class” Takes Charge at Spirited Rally
By Jaelyn Soto (2016), Campus & Sports Editor
TITAN TOWN - GTHS kicked off the school year with one of its most spirited rallies yet on Aug. 28. The 2016 senior class was coined the school’s first “pure class.” 2016 will be remembered for being the first to have attended all four years at GTHS, enrolling in the school’s first year as freshman on Aug. 6, 2012. Pure Class represented themselves at the rally by wearing white apparel while the underclassmen wore red and or blue.
“I wear my class colors, yell out my class year, purchase glow sticks and encourage my friends to do the same,” said Mekaylah Reed (2016).
As most students know, the purpose of the rally is not only to engage in class spirit but to recognize athletes. Fall sports such as football, volleyball, girls tennis, and cross country were all participants in this year’s fall rally. Varsity football captain Devon Dixon (2016) was asked what he was expecting to see throughout the school year from his senior classmates and he said, “to be lit 24/7 365!”
The rally consisted of performances from the band, the Legacy Regiment, Color Guard, Poly Club and a dance involving some of the staff members. The spirit that took place at the pep rally seemed to carry on throughout the rest of the school day and the football game that followed later that evening which was not a problem for most students.
