Rallying Cry To Festivities!

 The cheerleading squad led an extraordinary pep rally in the assembly hall yesterday to launch an equally extraordinary event. After an impressive acrobatic display, Stephie Dallimore, their newest member, addressed the school. 

"The Twist crisis left a lot of people in this school - and this city - with the sense that there was no hope for the future. They were wrong, and it's time to show this to the people of Colonial Bay! We're not 'just' kids, or 'just' potential targets of drug dealers. We're this city's future, this city's hope!"

Miss Dallimore proceeded to explain that a festival was being organised to celebrate the promise - of all sorts - the students held, and expressed her hope that the whole school would be involved.

"We all have our own hobbies, our own interests, our own aspirations. Sometimes they're considered cool. Sometimes we're ashamed of them and hide them away. We shouldn't. They are part of what we can do, part of who we are, and of that we should be proud!"

 She then rousingly called on many different societies and groups in the crowd for their support, which was given unanimously. Proceedings close with another display by the cheerleaders, to thunderous applause.

The festival is to take place on , and has the support of the mayor's office. It is hoped that other schools and the university will participate.
