We've got spirit, lb how 'bout you? the gym erupted in raucous cheers as each class tried to outdo the others. The possession of the Spirit Stick as well as school pride inspired participation in every ral- ly from the Welcome Back Rally in September to the Farewell As- sembly in June. Rallies helped to focus spirit as the build-up for a big game or a major event. They were also used to introduce unheralded teams, such as Boys' and Girls' Cross Country. The skits and contests as well as the competition yell alllowed spir- its to fly high. The Rally Staffs innovative endeavors, including an Alpo milkshake, riled up the crowd. When I can really get into spirit, I feel I'm a part of the E school, said freshman Lisa Yan- d 1 e . Spirit days permitted excitement to increase as big events like Homecoming and TWIRP ap- proached. The chance to dress up seemed to relax everyone and let spirits soar in an effort to prove which class had the most spirit. Dressing in pajamas or flannel shirts gave the casual attitude need- ed to lower inhibitions. Class com- petitions, such as pyramid building and tug-of-war, caused everyone to rally together. It makes you want to get involved! said Julie Howe. Tradition inspired enthusiastic fans' attendance at sporting events from fall football to spring base- ball. Tradition motivates spirit, and spirit is contagious, said Mon- te Routon. Cheerleaders and rowdy rooters were the most high profile spirit groups. Pep Arts and Drill team members were present at football and basketball games to help boost morale when the scoreboard showed DC down. Rowdy rooters were the more outrageous group of individuals. They could be heard chanting their own cheers or seen shirtless at a frigid game against Nevada Union in early November. We thought we had to do something to liven up the crowd since no one else does, said David Pichler. Student Govemment helped to keep spirits high all year through their dedication to making school fun. The year's theme Gotta Love Them Cougars, which was posted in every room, seemed to remind everyone of the pride Del Campo deserved. --pf,---W-W1-Y-.--AN-w-V-s fe ee----f --+7 er ' M- fa '-'- - iv-if-, i'r1'?eT f'T' T1-, : i V ' 1 I fj,',f-div, . .- Tj A., ' . g 'H .
