SPIRIT IS THE Spiritl It’s everywhere no matter how much people try to avoid it, they can't. You can always catch people cheering or clapping at games, who would not be caught dead doing it anywhere else. At pep rallies, athletic contests, and everyday in the halls, you can see spirit. People wearing red and white and school logos on game days. One source of spirit in our school is the cheerleaders. As Brian Johnson says: Spirit is a feeling that goes from person to person because when I see a cheerleader, I get a wicked urge of spirit for our schooll” The cheerleaders are at the games cheering on the players and leading the people in chants. Our school mascot, Buzzy, helps the cheerleaders express spirit at sporting events. When Mark Scharenbraich came to visit, he brought out spirit and excitement in the student body by having one side of the auditorium screaming Hey” and the other side of the auditorium screaming Boom bah” repeatedly, and then finally everyone screaming Boom bah Hey, Beesl” Pat Solomon thought He had great ideas that will help change the rest of the year.” The most popular show of spirit was the week of homecoming. Each day of the week students were asked to wear a certain style of clothes to help get psyched for the game on Friday against Cicero-North Syracuse. Monday was green and blue day, psyche-out day; Tuesday was boxer shorts day Wednesday was denim day; Thursday was tie-dye day; and Friday was red and white day. Another event is the election of the Queen, Princess, Countess, and dutchess. Students voted for their choice Thursday during homeroom, and the results were announced Friday night before the game. A new surge of spirit in homecoming was shown at the dances Thursday night after the pep rally and Friday night after the game. The powder puff game Sunday, Seniors vs. Sophomores, topped off the spirit for homecoming week. (Seniors wonl) .
