Proving Our Spirit r x School spirit runs high at our school. Throughout their undefeated season, the Ga- tors gained the outstanding support of the faculty and student body. Three in- school pep assemblies and various pep dances helped boost the confidence of the football team and lead them on to victory. Spirit week was also popular with stu- dents, who donned college sweatshirts, dug up summer sunglasses and hats, pushed the art of fashion to the limit on clash day, and showed their class spirit on class col- or day. The events of the week concluded with the tra- ditional black and gold day on which even the party- poopers were coerced into wearing black and gold by being given a treat in home- room. On Friday, Nov. 21, students lined up to buy their tickets to the championship game. That afternoon, a feel- ing of excitement exploded in a spectacular assembly which was seen by Pitts- burghers everywhere on the major networks. If a game could be won by the spirit of the players and fans, there was no doubt who the winner would have been. Then again, to every Gateway fan, there was never any doubt that our Gators were number one: both the football team and the fans proved this to North Hills and to the Nation. Getting into the spirit are Nancy Jordan, Kathleen Lynch. Julie Schenk, Kira Harris, Lori Schaum- berg. and Melissa Beel. As the other cheerleaders lead the crowd, Ann Khuu and Terri Costello display three very important ini- tials; G-H-S! Pep and Spirit 17

Hanging out After a grueling day at school, students need a place where they can relax and relieve tension. What better place is there to un- wind than our local han- gouts? The hangouts of Gateway students are as diverse as the student body itself. One of the most popular spots is Burger King. This hangout is jammed and packed with Gateway students, especial- ly on a Friday night or after a football game. Other stu- dents prefer the more sub- dued atmospheres of Mapo- the other hand, students in the mood to dance flock to the party spots, like Top Charlie’s or The Ritz. Here, they jam to the beat and show off their dancing exper- tise. Finally, many students spend their spare time at the Monroeville Mall. The Mall fullfills their obsessions with shopping, eating, and just looking. Whether students favorite hangouts are the library or Burger King, they all have one thing in common. Stu- dents possess their own spe- cial place where they go to Student Hangouts 19
