Students gyrate spirit with enthusiasm UJhat is Spirit? According to Robin Perdue, Spirit is going oil out and making high school o joyful place to be. Spirit is also believing In Foils City High School and the kids and dosses In It. Jackie Schowang said, The spirit this year uuas remarkable compared to the previous years I have been at FCHS. The competition chont mode oil of the dosses fight together and really brought up the spirit. A big help were spirit stick ond class competitions. At pep rallies, each doss would do a cheer. The loudest doss would win the stick for the week. Freshman Leslie Coleman's opinion of the spirit stick was, I think the spirit stick is o great idee because the cheerleaders thought we hod a lack of spirit so they come up with o new idea to moke our pep rallies more exciting.” The cheerleaders ond pep bond also helped in raising the spirit. Paul David Hnaup, Davln Holman, ond Jason Lunsford performed a cheer before the crouid. Cllis soid, The cheerleaders themselves hove put o lot of effort into getting some school spirit. They hove put together some good pep rallies. The pep bond not only gives the student body something to cheer with but they also moke o big difference in the excitement of the people ploying on the court. A music background helps everyone feel free to cheer.” Our new principal of the school, Mr. Gellett, commented, We con be justly proud of our teams ond the degree of enthusiasm, sportsmanship ond dedication by the team members ond coaches. I feel a large shore of that credit must go to the student body ond cheerleaders os well. As long as we continue to work together, we will continue to hove excellent school spirit. As 'Tony' the Tiger would soy its ‘Great!’” Raising spirit 10 Spirit
