A big scary vision appears on your windshield. Yes, the ever trustworthy Coach Miller asks that inevitable ques- tion. Where's your parking sticker? Well sir, my dog ate it. Finally you reach the coveted spot all the way near the baseball field. Great. So what if you have to walk a country mile? As you get out, you see Suzy 8: Johnny. You see them fighting.

Those of you who attended any of the Pine Forest games, probably heard and more than likely added your voice in ringing out this cheer. Spirit. What does it mean? We all have our own definitions. Let's see what the Webster's dictionary says. Spirit tspi'ritJ: 1. The soul. 2. Personalityg vi- vacity. 3. The essence of anything. 4. Courage and enthusiasm. The soul. We all have a special place in our hearts for those Green and Gold Trojan colors. From the most in- experienced sophomore, to the some- what prominent junior, all the way up to the most respected senior. No matter how far we go, we willalways remem- ber cheering our mighty Trojans on to another victory.

Have you ever noticed how people always seemed a little bit differ- ent at games? They were excited. No matter how miserable your day at school was, just being with your friends and cheering on our teams made you feel better. That was enthusiasm. It is easy to have spirit when you are at your own school. But what about those away games? You know, those games that were sort of neglected be- cause there always seemed to be some- thing more important happening, like seeing that newly released movie, or vis- iting that newly found love. Even though the majority was not present, there were a faithful few who traveled as far as Wilson-Fike just to cheer for our Trojans. They definitely have spirit - all four definitions! Spirit is inside of you. No one can make you have it, give it to you, or take it away. Spirit makes you what are.
