Being Involved ... The Essence of Crusader Spirit Involvement ... what docs this word actually mean? According to Webster, INVOLVEMENT means “to become a participant in. To most people, “involvement” means sports; but getting involved at Em- manuel includes much more than just “playing games.” And no one ever has to climb a mountain of op- position to get involved in EBS’s many activities! For example, ele- mentary students can clean their rooms, be a bathroom or a hall mon- itor, help the teacher for a week, or even assist the cheerleaders cheer at the games. They can also participate by dressing as hoboes on Hobo Day, inviting their grandparents to school on Grandparent’s Day, selling items during fund-raising campaigns, learning poems and songs for Fine Arts competition, the Christmas program, and the Spring Concert, and doing zany things—like wear- ing clothes backwards during Spirit Week. And, of course, there are the Pep Rallies—both elementary and high school students find becoming involved by cheering, clapping, whistling, and stamping a lot of fun! High school students can also par- ticipate in all of the sports pro- grams—soccer, volleyball, basket- ball, softball, and cheerleading. Up- per-grade young people can memorize speeches or play the piano for Fine Arts competition, too, or become a part of the hard-working yearbook staff. They can help put together a banquet, or make a great project for the Science Fair, or sing in the high school or junior high choir as well. Finally, high school students can help in the Special Olympics—a truly memorable ex- perience! Mr. Bayne, the athletic director, chose “involvement” as this year’s theme for several reasons. He says, “I chose INVOLVEMENT be- cause we want students to become involved in both church and school activities. We all also need to be- come more involved in our relation- ship with God.” The Crusader spirit lives on —through involvement in EBS! Parents get involved by joining the pating in their many fund-raising Crusader Booster Club and partici- activities. EBS choirs participate in various concerts and in competitions throughout the school year. Keenagers contribute their valuable services during Registration Day. 6 Year of Involvement

Yes, Opportunities Are Unlimited ... For Learning, Growing Spirtually, and Having Fun Unlimited . .. this quality de- scribes our school best! The Crusad- ers are unlimited in excitement: pep rallies are always bursting with en- thusiastic spirit, and Spirit Week is full of wild competition! Our faith- ful cheerleaders always show their unlimited creativity in their cheers and support for our teams. Our ball players also have the unlimited po- tential for being winners—of some games, and of valuable personal les- sons such as good sportsmanship, the rewards of hard work, and the importance of working together as a team. Our ball games are always packed with unlimited action, for our players give their best, and win as the Lord wills. Additionally, many Crusaders express their un- limited supply of love by helping in the Special Olympics and support- ing Grandparent’s Day. Additionally, EBS provides un- limited opportunities to learn— everything from the ABC’s to trigo- nometry. The teachers seem unlim- ited, too, with their interesting les- sons, bright bulletin boards—and corny jokes! Definitely, the students each have the unlimited potential of growing spiritually and making good grades. Lunch is most stu- dents’ favorite period—it is a time to relax, get away from studies for awhile—and fill up their stomachs, which have been grumbling since thirty minutes past breakfast! Now, with twenty-five years of experience behind her, Emmanuel Baptist School faces the unlimited potential of the future. And, of course, the seniors will soon assume the unlimited—but wonderful—re- sponsibilities of life-beyond-high school! So, Crusaders—keep up that soaring, one-of-a-kind, unlimited spirit! First, the good news: these are bright, mischiveious, excited, crazy little people. Now the other good news—someday they’ll be seniors! 295 pages of history, 6 essays, 18 3- page math problems, and my 11- page Bible report... I just know I’m forgetting something! Oh, neat! ... Burn a salamander and you get purple smoke! Theme Development 5
