BUTLER SPIRIT- The noise was incredibly loud. From the crowded gymnasium came screaming, clapping, and stomping. Crammed on the bleachers were masses of blue and gold spectators, the overspill sitting on the sidelines. Periodical spurts of confetti were thrown, making their descent to join the other bits on the floor. Everyone was ecstatic as the first pep rally of the 1981-82 school year was underway. The previous days were fun-filled with the annual spirit week. The Butler High School student body released their hidden identities of punk rockers and nurds and spirit filled people. It was a terrific occurence to liven up the regular school schedule. Everyone let loose and enjoyed themselves at this pep rally. To start off the spectacle, the freshman class marched out in front of the students and sang the Alma Mater. This year BHS made a terrific gain with the acquisition of its first male cheerleader, Billy Villalobos. The squad performed in its usual unity and precision in this all sport pep rally. Throughout it all, the shouting, cheering, and chanting were continuous. And of course, in the distance, the proud Butler bulldog could be seen joining the fun and cheers, racing all around and riling up the crowd. Present everywhere was the renowned BHS school spirit.
