Noise reverberated as the enthusi- astic Warriors entered the gymnasium Each person sought his class section, searching for the faces of friends. Harried pep-rally chairmen handed out balloons and confetti as the band tuned-up and added to the clamor of the swelling crowd Uneasy basketball or football players milled in the corner, nervously awaiting to be introduced Tension filled the air . . . Suddenly, the band struck-up a rou- sing tune; cheerleaders leaped and yelled, attempting to raise class spirit. The crowd stood as one, arms raised, voices extolling the magnificence of each class! Craig Laity, SCA president, stepped up to the microphone. A hush fell over the crowd as he welcomed the students. After the coaches introduced the players, students impatiently watched the class skits. Then came the long anticipated mo- ment. Class spirit competition was on! Spirited Seniors, Juniors, and Sopho- mores faced each other across the hot gym. Confetti flew as each class shouted to superiority; cheers ran together, mounting to a dull roar. Separate words were indistinguishable. The judges listened. Who displayed the most spirit? they pondered. The decision made, the Spirit Jug was awarded to the appropriate class. Students returned to their studies, ex- hausted and with ringing ears, but firmly believing their class should have won. Although the students were di- vided in class competition, they were united in their devotion to KHS. Special Events — 1 5
