Heto kind of competition What ' s our Mustang battle cry? V-l-C-T-O-R-Y! screamed the innocent freshman, boisterous sophomore, carefree junior and confident senior. This typical cheer heard at pep rallies, signified the constant class competition when it came to spirit. But this was only one of the many ways students showed spirit for their school. During Homecoming, a magical feeling enhanced everyone with spirit. Hippies and baseball players were seen walking the halls during Spirit Week, and almost everyone dressed in the traditional red and white on Friday. Signs were hung everywhere displaying the hope that Munster would beat Chicago Simeon in the big game. But besides homecoming spirit, other activities and organizations also chipped in their share of spirit. The Girl ' s Timing Organization (GTO) timed for the swimming, track, and wrestling teams and cheered them on to victory. During the games, half-times were loaded with yelling and clapping as Cheerleaders and Drill-Team performed routines and got the crowd caught amidst the spirit. Although the spirit seen most often at school was a total, unified effort supporting a team or event, the separate classes found themselves competing against each other, seeing who had the most spirit. Whether it was egging some other class ' s float at Homecoming, or trying to out-do each other when it came their turn to sponsor prom, class competition was evident. Pep rallies also brought balloons, toilet paper, and confetti streaming from the bleachers as the classes competed. Even though at times the students ' spirit seemed out of hand, the rowdie behavior helped improve the school atmosphere. Despite the commotion going on during Spirit Week, junior Tim McCarthy must still try to concentrate on his class assignments. As a Munster wrestler pins his opponent, senior Girl ' s Timing Organization members Kim Torok, Kathleen O ' Connel, Terri Long, and Kim Geiger yell and cheer with excitment for Munster, an important role of the organization.
