School Spirit Surges On Oct. 9, 1987, the Thunderbirds travelled across town to play Bellevue East in what was the most talked about game of the sea- son. Something very unusual happened: for the first time in three years, West fell to archrival East 27-O. The game went so fast, said Coach John Faiman. We put to- gether a good drive in the beginning but missed out. After that, we never did get the big play or even to the point where we could get anything going. During the week of the game, school spirit was at an all-time high. Halls were decorat- ed by various clubs, signs were hung and purple and gold streamers were strung throughout the commons. There was a pep rally that Friday in the newly covered gym to arouse the enthusiasm and excitement of the fans. The student body was behind the foot- ball players 10096, but it just wasn't enough to win the game. Out of the three years l've been here, the school spirit so far has been the best, The senior class really pulls together with lots of support, commented senior cheerleader Cindy Wilson. Thunderbird pride was seen in the form of balloons and streamers in the social studies resource and on the wall of champions. Seniors Jonathon Robinson and Renee Neuman pose for a picture on the senior benches Friday after the pep ral- ly. Their faces show it all as seniors Jenna Brown and Cin- dy Wilson watch the game. Junior Dave Mitteiss turns to get a play call from the coaches during the first quarter. Anxiety is written all over junior Tara Groff's face during the fourth quarter. , .., N V. . ie - ii, 1, fw+:.a..ss.... - -any :K 1 K K -s., - F 't .--,, ,., . , ,. T... i..
