Jacket Spirit ih Is in the Air Gooo Jackets! To almost anyone not en- gulfed Ijy the overwhelming spirit which unit- ed the students, this was simply another cli- che used to identify someone from Leesburg. To a true Jacket fan, though, it meant much more. It meant one had to wear orange and black once a week for three months, and Friday ' s lunch money was spent on ribbons which mimicked the planned opponents for the evening. Also, it was very likely one sat in the rain while hoarsely cheering with other wet bodies. Authentic s pirit required extreme devo- tion and a pride for the team. Chris Nygaard was often seen decked out from head to toe in orange and black apparel. Jacket-colored war paint and drawings of the mighty yellow jacket decorated the faces of Cynthia Dun can and Shawn Foster. At both JV and Varsi ty games Susie Morrison buzzed along the sidelines dressed as the team ' s mascot. Kevin Paulling, Dan Dickerson, and Amy Cox were just a few fans that attended events and cheered regularly. On game days, whirlwinds of orange and black swarmed over the entire campus. Jacket spirit always filled the air. Sure Gooo Jackets! was a household phrase, but it meant the Jacket fans were proud of their school. Michele Smith and Cheryl Cooper show their meaning of Jaclcet spirit after the pep rally while waiting to go home. Mrs. Junecko and all her boyfriends show their spirit on the day of the game. 2— OPEN!
