Fans were not the only ones who sparked team spirit: the players also joined in the cheering. The crowd played a big part in boosting team mo- rale. An average of one thousand people attended each home game. san. 4 -.L Four super groups spark enthusiasm DU NU NU NU TA NU! CHARGE! This was the familiar cheer the March- ing Giants played during football and basketball games. The band, team mem- bers, spectators, and cheerleaders were the nucleus of our school spirit. The 135 members of the Marching Gi- ants played a very big role at the ball I8 Spirit games. To start the ball rolling, the fight song came booming out of this section while the crowd joined in. Senior band member Brenda Backs thought that when the band gets going the crowd gets going. Backs said, I think we add alot to the pre-game and halftime shows. When the teams are one point or one touchdown behind, the Marching Giants gives its all. Another factor in school spirit were the spectators. When a crowd cheered a ball player, he was bound to do a better job. Football coach Dick Lootens be- lieved, I think the enthusiasm in the school that was exhibited during the Homecoming week was a main factor in our victory against Mishawaka Marian. There was, however, another side to the spirit story. Some students believed the school spirit dropped since last year. Liz Stevens, a member of the girls golf and tennis teams said, I think there was more spirit at last years games. This year everyone seemed so dead. If more people came to see the teams play, they would probably do a lot better. The different groups that support the school spirit all had different ways of ex- pressing support for the fighting Giants.

Some roamed the beaches while others experienced a dif- ferent type of vacation. The following people took the kind of vacation that could only happen once in a lifetime. 1-A While some vacationers headed for the sunny beaches of Florida, others pre- ferred the more subtle and private sur- roundings of the Caribbean. Missy Smith, senior, spent the first week of june swimming and snorkeling in the clear waters off the island of St. john in the Virgin Islands. Aside from water activities, Missy and her family took time out to shop on St. lohn's brother island, St. Thomas. Ac- cording to Missy, St. john had very few places to shop, but there were many shops on St. Thomas, however, these were very expensive. Missy's menu included an extreme amount of seafood, such as shrimp, clams, crab and lobster, plus some origi- nal meals starting with strawberry soup. Missy had never been to the Virgin ls- lands before last summer. She and her family stayed in a cabin by the ocean. The cabin was situated near the center of the village in the business area. A visitors first view of Saint Thomas Island in the Caribbean comes when entering the largest port on the island. with cross sections and blind stops. The city of course is New York.
