Where’s that spirit? Come on let's hear it! Little controversy arose over the fact that the '77'78 year at Edina-West contained the most enthusiastic students yet! From pep-fests to football games, attendance was high and vibrant cheering echoed throughout the stands. Senior Barb Frey commented, “The spirit was great because people seemed to care more about sports and school activities.” Sophomore Gardner Gay expressed great satisfaction with his first year at Edina West. “School spirit was great here. I have never been in a school where the kids took part in so many things.” Perhaps the most unique manifestation of spirit was the A-Buf experi- ence. They kept everyone chanting at pepfests as they cavorte around on the floor. Junior Dave Ellingson responded to their efforts, They’re crazy . . . but they're great!” Regina McGrath also commented, They were fun because they did not mind making fools of themselves. Other groups promoting spirit included the sophomore and junior spirit committees; SWATS; Cougarettes; cheerleaders; and at Homecoming, the Cougarrats. All in all, the athletic teams had terrific seasons and student partici pation was high in various activities. These factors undoubtedly brought a demand for school spirit which was overwhelmingly fulfilled.
