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

I A hug when one was depressed, an excited congratulations when one got an A on their Algebra 2E test, a supporting smile during a big oral report, or just sharing the latest gossip, was how we saw friendship. We saw it not only as someone to eat lunch with, but as an impor- tant part of our lives. A friend was someone who was always there. A person to talk to, cry with or laugh with. Only with them did we share our intermost secrets. And only with them were our good times created. Our friends came in many different sizes and shapes. Each was different, but each was important. Each had their own qualities, and flaws. We learned to appreciate their good points. And we learn- ed to accept their bad points. We saw each one Right: Heidi Hammond and Jennifer Repke share a smile but not a Coke. different. Each required a certain amount of time and effort. Some friendships were strong, and others quickly passed. Some we would hard- ly remember at our ten year reunion. Others we would stay close with for the rest of our lives. Our friends played an important role in our high school career. They helped us ask that certain someone to the dance. We studied with them for the big test, and cried with them when we got it back, and then together we would go out to a movie to forget it until report cards came out. When everything was going right in our lives they were there, and when our lives took a turn for the worse, they were there also. As we see it. Friend- ship was something one could count on, but never take advantage of. Friendship Theme Page
