IT’S ALIVE! School spirit lives everywhere. Think of Brady St. Stadium, although It’s too much to grasp In one picture, especial- ly when theres a football game hap- pening. and a state championship floats In our heads. Fans, cheer- leaders. players, and field, all activat- ing in different areas but working as one. Central vs. West, the spirit burst of the season. “Fork the Falcons wafted from second floor, along with “Walk all over the Falcons on the balcony, during the outdoor pep aud. Quiet fringes but a vibrant nucleus heaved “Devil Power anxiously. Later, the feeling grew, the nucleus expanded. Bleachers were unnecessary because we were “up” physically and mentally. A 7-7 score at the half chiseled a gut nervousness swiftly concealed with wails for the blasting refrain of “Geor- gia. Allumni rekindled the spirit fire, and a sprint to victory exhaled more electrical power In the stands. Our school character was reflected primarily through rallying spirit at football games because of the pro- spective championship. But do we need such excitement to show spirit? What If the team was a loser? There’s loads of spirit around not even per- taining to sports. Spirit Isn’t always at face value. Re- calling games gone by when peering at the trophies in the main lobby. A quick “hello” or pitstops with friends before class. Walking through the hallways alone observing what is missed during the five minute rush. Even reaching the warm main building on a brisk day. Subtle spirit breathes In each, a spirit for self and school. The point is, spirit Isn’t always victori- ous teams and overpowering crowds. It’s a feeling that’s sometimes hard to see but always there even after the last stray wisps of pom-poms are swept away. 6 OCT 1 PEP AUD partak- er like Tyrae Townzel (ocuacd on cheerleader , pep band, and cla offi- cer on the balcony.
