We've got spirit, how about you?”’ It started many grueling weeks before August 28. Club leaders were preparing for the first Homecoming in years that would involve a queen and her court. It was when school began, however, that the ideas and the involvement soared to new heights. Signs were painted, dance arrangements were made, and kids began to throw blue and white, right and left. On September 20 students scurried from the building and began transforming their cars into miniature floats, preparing for the parade later that evening. When the band sounded and the parade began, chants and cheers began in the stands. This continued until victory was proven. Central’s striving for spirit refused to lighten after Homecoming. As the Memorial Central game approached. ECHS was filled with spirit not just within the school but within all the students as they burst out of their normal routine to become wild and crazy during Spirit Week. Spirit Week ended with a bang and a laugh at a rowdy pep rally—a time when faculty and students exploded with spirit as one. “We've got spirit, yes we do,” and students participated in it more each day. Pride was reflected through attitude, but spirit made people respect the fact that “We are the best, you've got it, ECHS!”” Student Life Division 7
