Capturing the maaic. Two words. Two magical words that made all the difference between (yawn) school and (yeah!) S-C-H-O-O-L! Spirit. Rather, school spirit. Whenever you went to a game or a pepfest, you saw it in action. You saw it in the pride of the performers on the field or gym floor or stage. You saw it in the faces of the fans who willingly sacrificed their voices for victory. But school spirit went beyond the obvious. Beyond the crowd cards waved at the command of Mr. Spirit. Beyond cookie eaters, boys who became Kolleens, or a foyer filled with signs about tonight’s games. At this school spirit meant caring enough to stand and clap while singing the school song at a pepfest. It also meant wearing a blue and gold jacket with KENNEDY on the back wherever you went. It provided the touch of magic that made life at this school ... fun. Above letl: Senior cheerleader Lori Peterson leads the rest ol the squad to rally the crowd.

 Right: Juniors Korry Koshiol and Kevin Sundem don't need the car heater to keep them warm. All they want right now i$ a little soft light and some ... good conversation. ike, who stays home on a Friday night? And don’t say you did your homework. Come on, let’s get real! No one really knew just where they were going until they got there. Seeing and being seen. Finding and being found. That was the code to live by lor Kennedy students on a weekend. It’s not the place, but the people, right? Wrong. Who would be caught dead at — pardon the expression — B-E-A-N-l-E-S? A sophomore? Yes. A senior or junior? Never! Sure, you’d go almost anywhere with your pals, but if they were really your friends, they wouldn't drag you to White Castle. Would they? Dates were the worst. Trying to find a cool place to go on a date was like finding a good place to park — next to impossible. A movie was the best bet. But what do you do on the second date? Well that’s a story in itself. Don’t ask. Wherever it was you ended up being, you had a pretty good time anyway. Alone or with a group. Partying or parking. Kennedy kids knew where to be. And that was with other Kennedy kids. Right: Cruisers like Michelle Vober. Blame Stephenson, Kim Smith, Jell Rannow, Greg Hotfman, and Michelle Motoy know that an empty street and plenty ot people make for a great Friday night. 12 Opening
