Many people felt that school spirit would be eliminated along With the buses. Due to the efforts of the Spirit Club, however, school and team spirit remained at the level it had reached in 1969. The Spirit Club often found that some of the oldest methods of raising spirit were the best. Spirit signs ap- peared every week, and pep assemblies were held for important games. Many members of the group fasted through lunch hours to help sell Spartan booster buttons. New ideas also helped the club raise the school spirit. Ideas for skits were developed and displayed at pep assemblies. The club also purchased a Spartan costume to serve as the school mascot and inspire the teams.
