Foothill High School - Shield Yearbook (Tustin, CA)

Spirit is usually thought of as cheerleaders at a football game yelling. But at Foothill there was a different image. We saw it as a little more than that. Yes cheerleaders did promote spirit, but they promoted what was already there. Spirit at Foothill was a big part of school life. We saw it as not only going to football games and yelling for the team, but we also saw it as dedication to a sport or club, or extra curricular activity. We saw it as practicing that one song or routine when one could be out having fun. We showed our spirit by dressing up on recognition days and encouraging others to do so also. We showed our spirit through all the things we did. We tried to create an at- mosphere at Foothill that would long be en- joyed. Simply picking up that piece of trash off the ground and putting it in the trash can showed our spirit. In every way we let our spirit show. Then on Friday night all the spirit we had from the previous week would be poured out as the crowds of students would cheer and show their pride in school. As we see it, Spirit is not just cheering about something but it is caring about one ' s school, and having pride in it. Even when it was not the winning team we still had spirit. i r jj « W (8 m ' ! « J k Z 1 ■i « Spirit Theme Page 1
