IFIPGUND SPIRIT Spirit? Oh yes, we had spirit. We started off the year making legends with an outstanding football team and that was the outset of our spirit. We had more pride in our school after football season. Brian Still, junior, said, The football team's emotional, winning season showed the students and faculty at Fort Osage and other schools that we were no longer losers and that we could compete with anybody at any time. It instilled in everyone a special pride and unity that hadn't been felt in a long time. Win? Oh yes, we liked to win. The Indian team wasn't afraid of 'no dogs' and it by ending the season with a 7-3 We had cheerleaders like Kendra and Sherry Bulyar and we had yell like Brad Macoubrie and jason Durrell boost our spirit, and boy did they do their job! Young, sophomore, said, I think that the did a great job of promoting spirit I Wilson, sophomore, said, The were as much a part of the games s were. The crowds really enjoyed football showed the player 4!Openmg Lisa Pittman and Angie Serner them. We went to pep assemblies to show our spirit and many students felt that these pep assem- blies contributed greatly to the spirit of each and every student at Fort Osage. Kim Stober, senior, said, The Homecoming pep assembly was the best because all of those good-looking men bared their chests in the name of spirit! Cathie Henry, sophomore, said, The pep assemblies did a lot to instill spirit throughout the school. We also dressed up for spirit week in the forms of punk rockers, hawaiians, and members of the opposite sex. Did this bring out the spirit? Oh yes, it did. Sissy Goddard, junior, said, The most fun that I have had this year was dressing up for spirit week. It was like having five Halloweens in a row, all in the honor of the Fort Osage Indians. Spirit week brought out our spirit in all forms.iShawn Nash, junior, said, Spirit week shoviied all of the people who had spirit. I think that spirit week along with the pep assemblies showed how much spirit Fort Osage has.

bv! is 'V 6 , -its ing to get a lunch shift with friends, students poured at tremendous speed into the cafeteria where a friendly cafeteria staff greeted them. Hundreds of trays were filled with nutritious, well-balanced meals. Chriss Butler, senior, said, I like school lunches, some of them are disgusting, but some of them are good, too! Things like hamburgers, pizza, and barbequed beef were offered to hungry students who had worked up an appetite during the course of the day. Hot and cold sandwiches and cupcakes were also sold at the snack bar. Mr. Bob Bach said, I really enjoyed the reuben sandwiches this year. They are the only sandwiches that you can eat and floss your teeth with at the same time, because of the hair in them. After lunch it was on to either two, three, or four hours of class, still searching for friends. Students had to change gears and get ready to listen to the teacher. Some evaluated their teachers, others evaluated the opposite sex, and still others evaluated clothing, make up, and gossip. When the tone sounded at 2:45, it was a stampede to the buses. Some were happy to be back, others weren't so happy. Most felt that summer wasn't over yet. It was the beginning of a new year and everyone felt a sense of the words Welcome Back, and looked forward to the beginning of a legend in the making.

Senior guys had the spirit and showed it by baring their chests. What we didn't do for spirit! The seniors contributed the chaos and disorder that made the spirit of this year the best that it has ever been, said Nelson Robaina, senior. Tina Sheets, said, I think that the senior class of this year had a lot more spirit than last year's senior class and we also had a lot more spirit than any other class this year. Although the senior class lost the spirit chain races, whether fair or foul, they showed their spirit any time they were given the chance. Spirit? Oh yes, we had spirit. We had spirit throughout the year and we showed it in many different ways. That is what made this year special: the beginning of a legend made with spirit, and the end of a losing streak, both in football and in spirit.
