You can have fun in school “I think Grant has lots of spirit since we all have pride in ourselves. Pride in yourselves means pride in your school, claimed sophomore Paul Brown. School spirit was a big factor at Grant during the school year, from the sports events to homecoming week to the pep assemblies to graduation. This is not to say that our spirit cannot be improved. Varsity rally members complained that other schools show more intensified unity at sporting events. At pep assemblies the school spirit is at its peak. Freshman Chris Parker agreed, saying, We should control our spirit and be more unified. With the most diverse population of any other school in the PIL, Grant has always provided opportunities for all kinds of people to get involved and participate. Freshman Marka Erickson thought that Grant is a lot less cliquey than most other schools. It's easy to make friends here.” From chess to football, Grant offers opportunities for everyone to get involved. Lunch is a break from classes and a chance to refuel the overworked student body. But it is also an excellent opportunity to spend time with friends. From Burger King to Little King, from Kienow's to AM PM, Granto-nians find all kinds of ways to put the school's open campus lunch to use. I love the freedom that open campus gives you, said sophomore Brett Walton. Grant’s cafeteria, home of the Mega-chip, still draws crowds, though. The majority of students, especially the underclassmen without cars, stay in the cafeteria, where more people are available for socializing, and the food is priced to accomodate a student’s income. 2 Introduction
