Mavericks Rock! Student spirit soars School spirit peaked this year when the cheerleaders worked on their big- gest spirit builder yet, to boost school support for the Mavs as they squared off against the J .L. Mann Patriots Sep- tember 6. The week was full of activities. Whether it was wearing beachwear, 50's jackets or just donning orange, brown and white the day of the big game, stu: dents all over school were actively in- volved. , At the beginning of the year I was disappointed at the involvement of the student body, but now I believe the spirit is being rekindled because of the winning football season and all the oth- er teams here at Mauldin, said Nicole Hill, a cheerleader. The week's activi- ties culminated as the Mavericks went on to defeat the Patriots 7-6. The thrill of victory soon spread and student council was quick to organize another spirit week, which took place September 22-27, in preparation for the Eastside game. The week's highlights included Pizza call-up day, a scavenger hunt, college day, punk day and the tra- ditional orange, brown and white day. The day of the big game each class competed in the Hall of Pride as each class decorated its hall to show school spirit, the seniors won the competition. Spirits soared as Mauldin went on to slaughter Eastside 22-13. School spirit got people involved, but it let the foot- ball team know the student body was behind them as they started out a win- ning season. Laura Jenkins ks.- What's the deal?

Like a rest area on a trip, lockers are a break in the monotony of the day. Kevin Riser and David Roach discussed their next class. Do we really have to go? iPhoto by Nancy Smithj Under Lock And K ei' Locker Papparazi MHS Style Brring! Time to go. Quickly, students grabbed for strewn books and jackets as they darted out of the classroom, shoot- ing the last scrap of doodle paper into the trash can - SWOOSH! Two Points! Look out Michael Jorden! Once out into the hustle and bustle of the halls, mild mannered high school students became self-made monsters as girls and boys alike scratched and clawed their way through the maze of people to get to their lockers. Messy, clean, interesting and plain were merely common adjectives when describing locker decor. Mirrors, fris- bees, coats, combs, brushes and hair spray filled the halls and mingled with the variety of perfumes and after 20 Lockers shaves to give students a distinctive smell as well as a dinstinctive look. Managing time was what students did best. Never had four minutes been so well used. Time spent at lockers was precious. Students fixed hair, freshened make-up and took one last longing look at the pictures of favorite stars and friends that decorated the inside of their lockers. Students flocked to their locker havens before, between and after class. Lockers came to symbolize good con- versation, the latest gossip and pictures that rated whistles from boys and lust in the eyes of the nearest female. Ali- cia Brown
