lURMAN SPIRIT Spirit is not one of the things that has to be searched for at Furman. The students love their school, and they are not afraid to demonstrate that. Furman spirit can be seen in the halls through posters, on the walls of dorm rooms, in purple clothing, bumper stickers on cars - but this spirit is especially evident during sports activities where it can be tound in the spectators. Football season always seems to stimulate anyone's spirit The new treshmen generate a lot of cheering in the upper classes, and the band and Fantasia add another dimension to spirit Even Dr lohns participates in the act with his famous F.U. cheer. Other sports draw spirited spectators as well. The soccer team has many fans, especially since the new soccer field was built. Students cheer and encourage the players to victory alter victory. Likewise, basketball brings a lot of students as well as community members to the games. Spirit makes a difference in the outcome of a sporting event because the teams feel supported, and that is irreplaceable Spirit also impresses people not associated with Furman because they pick up the pride that the student has in his school. Spirit reflects a person’s attitude about his college, and that is always noticed. Furman spirit certainly is not dead, yet some students, such as Clint Downey say. I wish Furman had more spirit.” Who knows? If everyone could just capture a little of someone else’s enthusiasm. Furman would endlessly be jumping. Heidi Schmidt 20 Student life Spirit is more important than anyone recognizes, and at Furman — wL tr' r it's what keeps our teams going strong.
