OUR SCHOOL SPIRIT SHINES Just what is it when people get carried away with spirit? We tend to think of school as a lot of hard work; on the other hand, during spirit week we see all these people really getting crazy. In the halls of ECHS you can see anything from a punk rocker to someone decked out in shorts during the chilly weather. Now you must admit that these people seem to be getting carried away with spirit. So just what is school spirit? Heather VanNess, sophomore, stated, School spirit is when everyone gets involved and people go to the games.” Senior, Kim Werline, feels, School spirit is when the student body participates w ith any kind of activity because they want to — not because they have to.” Showing the teams we’re proud of them.” — Amy Scott On the first day of school the cheerleaders were allowed to hold a pep session. Each squad did a cheer for the student body. As usual, the frosh cheerleaders messed up because they were embarrassed. The pep session got the school spirit on the right track and ever since it has been growing steadily. The football team got really carried away with their school spirit by eating raw meat before the Elwood-Tiptin game. Before the second game of the sectional against Yorktown, Coach Hughes challenged the fans. He lost his challenge since fifty-eight people signed up for the fan bus. Coach Hughes ended up with pies in his face during the pep session from the senior players. The Panther band also showed spirit by helping the cheerleaders cheer at the home football games. Yes, ECHS does have spirit. It has been hidden away for along time. However, this year school spirit has gotten just a little carried away. Junior, Donald Lamb seems to be surprised as one of our photographers takes his picture during punk day. Sophomores show their spirit as they ride in their decorated truck during the Homecoming parade. 6 Studcnt Life
