Ilion's great school spirit is demonstrated by the continuing tradition of holding pep rallies.
The tops in pep rallies is the Homecoming Pep Rally. The 1973 Mirror contained a description of the typical Homecoming Pep Rally.
"A period of silence was observed during eighth period for a victory over Johnstown.
At 2:30, a simple drum beat called the Seniors to the gym and the other students followed shortly.
Mr. Fahey
was M.C. for the pep-rally. "Yard by Yard" brought the Bombers out through an arch,
especially acquired for Homecoming '72.
The boy cheerleaders added much to the afternoon by performing a skit.
The highlight of the pep rally was the crowning of the king and queen."
