omecoming Spirit halls show class: Students reveal favorites For some students the best part of Homecoming was watching the girls and their escorts during the presentation. ‘‘My favorite part of Homecom- ing was when the fireworks went off as the girls went across the field, sophomore Michelle Lett said. Another facet of Homecoming festivities was the decorating of the class spirit halls for compe- tition. Each class put together a hall- way decorated to promote school spirit. Junior Brandi O'Donnell said the halls were successful in pro- moting school and class spirit. It's like it brought us all to- gether. and it was our first re- ally big project so we were all working for the same thing, she said. O'Donnell said the decorating of the spirit halls got everyone involved in Homecoming. It really showed the spirit students have for Sylvan Hills. People came to help who didn't even have to be there, she said. Despite conflicting opinions on the quality of the 1987 foot- ball Homecoming, a 20-17 win over the Conway Wampus Cats and a victory dance afterwards seemed to pacify even the most ruffled bear fan's spirits. — by Kelly Hurst ON YOUR MARK, GET SET, EAT!

■ pirif i Dedication carries over: class rivalries increase. School spirit could be defined as having loyalty and dedication to school activities. Loyalty and ded- ication is the chain that brings the school together, junior Steve Grappe said. The senior sophomore rivalry should be stopped. he said. Instead of pulling apart, we should all come together and rep- resent Sylvan Hills. On the other hand, sophomore Erica Lauer said sen- ior sophomore rivalry does not pull the classes apart, but pro- motes school spirit. “The rivalry between the soph- omores and seniors just makes each class try harder to beat the other one, Lauer said. Not only rivalry, but school pride plays a major role in promoting spirit, according to sophomore Chris Hamilton. We should have enough pride in our school to come-to the pep rallies and participate and cheer the teams on. Ham- ilton said. More all-around school in- volvement is needed to pro- mote spirit, too. Lauer said. We should have more stu- dent participation. We should have lots of different students put up posters instead of just the cheerleaders. As junior class president. Grappe said he plans to do just that. I hope to get more people involved not only in the pep ral- lies. but to carry their spirit on to the games. — by Miranda Perkins AND THEY ALL FALL DOWN.
