Fans, faith, hope and confidence l can 't imagine going to o game with no one there to scream and yell, it gives enthusiasm, hope and confidence is what school spirit is all Micki Mikesoll lt's like beating the team you never thought we could beat. Waiting on the sidelines to congratulate a victorious lt's the some as the feeling you get when you even lose by two points at the buzzer. lt's the auguish of losing and the desperation with the thought of winning. lt's the way of expressing your school as a whole. Spirit is throughout school all year long. Whether it is just at practice or a pep rally, spirit is the feeling of pride within your school, with teammates, and with friends. Spirit creates the events. lt allows them to be memorable creates fun and excitement. Most of all, it creates pride and friendships. Jean Boyd HT' gg Yi Watch out Grand Island surfs up.

The vacation that isn't ow many of us spent two weeks driving across the country while dad keeps going to historical sights, like the worlds biggest ball of yarn. Mom cries the whole time because she finally has everyone together. Your ancient grandma is driving everyone crazy because she wants to stop every five minutes. All this time, you are being forced to sit between your brotty four-year-old sister who insists on mimicking your every word and your over-grown seventeen year old brother who practices his football tackles on you in the back seat of the cor. Carrie Coover describes her trip to Texas this summer. lt was around 7:00 p.m. and my dad and brother were testing out our flare gun in the parking lot. They shot into a field, by our condo, and started the biggest fire l've ever seen. So then the fire department and the police come to put out the fire. We went inside, and my dod shut all the doors and said, 'lf anyone asks, we don't know anything about it. Then he made us go to bed! ' Even though summer vacations have a lot of mishaps, and quite a few humorous moments, the times you spend with your family are some of the mast special times you'Il ever encounter. Vicki Salmen Out and about uring the summer, friends have a tendency to drift apart since they aren't together doy after day. Where do people meet their friends? A majority of the people said that they meet their friends cruising Burlington, the big B . Others went to the mall, out to the lake, and to parties. Kellie Reed, a junior, said I meet a lot of my friends on Burlington. Some of the time ljust go ond park in the parking lot at Econo Foods, Jack and JiIl's or l.G.A. When there's a dance during the summer, l will go there to see my friends. The pool or the lake ore some other places that I might go during the summer to meet my friends or to get out. Every year you can look forward to going back to school and being with your friends once again. Lisa Adcock said, Once you're a senior you con't look forward to coming bock. l think it's o good ideo to keep a hold of your friends that you have now. They will probably be the best friends that you will ever have! Some people had the some response no matter what the seoson. What do you mean? l meet my friends 'out on the town, ' said librarian Evodne Vaughan. Becky Boudreau Braves battle toward winning seoson Freshman Steve Boyd gers o lirrle dirt in his face during a home plate collision with an opposing player. The umpire favors the Braves by calling the runner our. an Beyke commented on the seoson, We should have done o lot better than we did. We had the potential to do better but we reolly didn't have thot drive to win. Our 15 18 record doesn't show the real talent we had, but we were pretty much a young team and inexperienced so I guess that had some thing to do with it. There were fifteen players on the team including: Troy Baker, Jon Beyke, Don Biggs, Steve Boyd, Eric Butler, Troy Francis, Gary Freeman, Chip Galloway, Scott Giddings, Daren Girling, Darren Karr, Troy Kulek, Corey Schlocter, Jeff Schneider, Pat Sealey. Girling stated, I thought we could've done better, when we were hitting good, we weren't pitch- ing or fielding well, we weren't consistent. One of the highlights, said Beyke, was playing North Platte and being behind 8-4 in the fifth inning when Head Coach Dove Waldron started an argument with the umpire over a questionable call. Coach was ejected which reolly fired the team up. We came back to win 13-9 which made us feel pretty good considering they were one of the better teams in our league.

xr f it fr I Q? ai ws '. .,. . S vkmgs. Dress-Up Day Monday l was kind of disappointed that more seniors didn 'r dress up during .Spirit Week but the ones that did really showed their spirit and that contributed to the intensity of the G.l. game. Randy Gildersleeve Orange and Black Tuesday l felt it was appropriate that every student dressed in black and orange for the annual girls basketball game against Grand Island. The posters this year were overall the best l 've seen in the four years I have been at Hastings Senior High. The student council also did an excellent jab on promoting school spirit. Lisa Peters Nerd Da Wednesday I thought that Nerd Day was a true experi- ence that helped me get noticed by the student body. lt also brought out my school spirit. Jeff Tyson Grub Day Thursday My friends and l really enjoyed Grub Day because it gave freshmen a chance to express their school spirit without feeling out of place. lt was a good spirit day because a mqority of the student body participated, Everyone seemed to agree that it was o nice break from having to worry what to wear. l hope they continue to include this day in Spirit Week. Piper Niedt Islander Da Friday Dressing up for lslander day was especially fun this year because it was our Iseniorsi last ofncial lslander Dress4Up Day, and it's only one of the most memorable events for me at HH5. Another memo- rable event was winning the hall decoration contest during 5pirit Week, even though it may be considering a 'tradition' for seniors to win, the class of '86 truly did deserve winning, tradition or no tradition. Jane Bourg Senior girls show their spirit for the lslander game, Hawaiian dress has become a tradition honoring the battle against Hastings' closest rivals. lslander day has now became an ofncial day of the 5pirit Week activities. Only a nerd would stick his nose into the camera lens as Jeff Tyson did. Jeff had on excuse, though, since it was Nerd Day as part of .Spirit Week. Other students who tried to be as out of fashion as possible include, from left, Carmen Nitzel Katie Kingsley, Spike Kingsley and Judeen 5oftley. 11
