John Moseley, president of Lincoln University, takes in all the excitement as he watches a group of about a dozen student council officers on stage work the audience into a frenzy following Friday's general session at Jefferson City High School. The on-stage group formed the Hype Squad, which lit up the stage as they performed several songs requiring audience participation, to which the they loudly obliged. The sqad responded louder the next time and the audience matched that response until the squad delivered the lines in a whisper and once again, the audience matched the original and started over again. The students on stage and the audience had a great time in the exchanges.
