to •O 1 Spirit! - def. “ardent loyalty or devotion: school spirit” Looking in the dictionary, more than one definition for spirit can be found, but the above line is the description Lapeer East deals with. Always an active school, this year was no different, with exploding spirit overcoming the student body. Pep assemblies were noisy, active and fun, pep buses were full, and pep rallys boosted team moral. Everyone from frosh to faculty had tons of enthusiasm for school activities and sports. Stands were brimming and after-school-danccs drew many enthused students. Teachers also shared in the robost feelings of the student body and showed their own faith in the school by wearing the school colors on the days of games. The school certainly lived up to the true meaning of the word “spirit” A. Carol Dubois and friend doinj; very serious and imponant research. B. Some classes brinn out the animal in people. C. It’s obvious — il's a student after eating lunch! D. An outer space alien down to examine our school’s spirit.

Insights 11 High above, in the brilliant sunshine an eagle flys, his broad wingspan holds him aloft over the Lapeer area. His keen eye takes in all that lies below and he is impressed with what he sees, for he once thought Lapeer was small. “Well,” he says to himself. “There is the main drag, downtown Lapeer. Pretty hectic place - I can just imagine what this section of the county looks like on a Friday night! Why I should take a night flight sometime, but the change might shock my tail feathers! It seems to be the height of the color season. Boy, look at those trees, and fields - I wonder what I could find for lunch there? Maybe a trip to the local Macs! How about that building I just passed with all the high and low curves and angles? I hear they have even honored me at that school. Pretty good idea, if I do say so myself, but I think I’ll pass on lunch there! Farming seems to still be a growing concern, even though plenty of nests, oops! — I mean houses, have gone up. Not a bad place, this Lapeer County. I’ll have to try this spot again sometime but it’s time to fly. See ya later, especially all you kids down in that school called Lapeer East. They’ve got pretty good taste picking me for their mascot!” And with two powerful thrusts, our eagle eye swoops away. But he leaves us with insight into just what an eagle would think about Lapeer.
