Back the Tigers you bet we do! SPIRIT. School atmosphere revolves around it. Students wear special clothes dur- ing Spirit Week to support it. Cheers proud- ly scream, We have spirit, yes, we do. But what does the word mean to students? My definition of spirit would be suppor- ting any organization that involved a group effortf' said varsity cheerleader Donalee Leer. Along with other cheerleaders, Leer supports athletics by cheering at sports ac- tivities and leading the crowd in yells. Besides this, cheerleaders serve Kool-aid to football players in the steamy summer prac- tices and host coke parties during basketball tourney time. For football player Tim Applegate, spirit has two different categories, Spirit is a team kind of spirit and there's the spirit where people go to games, he explained. According to Applegate, a type of spirit bet- ween players comes in practices. Com- araderies develop as the seasons progress and players display spirit among themselves with clapping, back patting and yelling for individuals and the team. The other type of spirit has to do with fans: fans who clap and cheer at below zero gamesg fans who scream and yell when their team plays the number one team in the state, and fans who drive more than 40 miles just to attend a game. When Sharon Rowings hears the word spirit, l always think of support for school activities. This entails anything from the school play to art contests, from swim meets to FFA soil juding contests, and from Classics concerts to decorating for the prom. Rowings said spirit is the backing of all your peers. A Showing spirit before school in the morning, more than 60 seniors crowded onto senior bench trying to break a previous record of 73. 4 Even watching the Homecoming Parade becomes a team effort for Eric Schoenfeld, Jeff Job, Keith Crozier, Wes Scott and Craig Flint.

GHS prom and circumstance Somehow after months of fund raising, planning, designing, building and decorating, it all came together. McAnally Gymnasium, used for the first time for the Prom, became for one event, An Evening in Tropical Paradise with palm trees, hanging plants, a streamer ceiling and private tables. The transformation which once seemed so im- possible was possible. Juniors and seniors spent the day of May 14 decking themselves out for the occasion. Males washed the family car, donned rented tuxedoes, ordered flowers and went to pick up their dates. Families watched as young ladies entered the room dressed in formal dresses. Pictures were taken and the couples left for pre-arranged dinner engagements at local and out-of-town restaurants. After dinner couples entered through a tunnel what they knew to be only the gym. Yet, somehow it was more than that. The band, Morning Star, from Indianapolis, coax- ed the dancers out onto the floor. Best friends sat together at individual tables. Most people danced at least once. The even- ing was the climax of weeks of planning and preparation and it was worth every minute of the time it took! The Greencastle Jaycees held the post- prom at the Armory and the next day friends met at the trial race, Turkey Run State Park or just at home. 24 V Dawn Buis, Teresa Sperback, Matt Kirkham and Tina Bolton enjoy watching other couples dance. , egiw ss A. tx .5 V ,.. ,.a1. fm .. ., z my ,.
