0 0 ft €tnd t € Although the Lexington student body is not known for its exuberant support, bursts of spirit erupted through different channels during the year. The fervor began when Freeman's bright brainstorm to inspire his team created en- thusiasm but interrupted players' dreams. At 12:01 a.m., August 14. the Lexington Bulldog squad was the first football team in the state to practice in pads. The boys con- tinued their new found enthusiasm all year and celebrated with their traditional chant. Attempts to fire up the students as well as the team were made by the cheerleaders, but student involvement seemed to be missing. The key to a more spirited assembly was found during the yearbook merchandising sale. Music, the universal expression of one’s feelings, along with the surprise ap- pearance of the KATT awakened even the most withdrawn students. All par- ticipated and discovered that total involve- ment was more fun. Other forms of spirit were produced pre dodsed by produce pro doos . One wouldn’t think that cutting pictures of squash, cucumbers, lettuce, etc. out of magazines would create an undying en- thusiasm. Chants highlighting the other team's abilities, however, provided the con- nection. Dead meat was a famed expres- The football team was really up for the Wayne game — especially 74 (right).

Chants were also heard from the band, the classes, and the spec- tators. One particular chant by the band that always seemed undone was: How do you like your eggs? Raw! Raw! Raw!” As the year progressed, it was evident that spirit was often a part of athletics. organizations, and school in general. Although the ultimate goal of involving the entire student body was rarely attained, celebrations did take place! Whether it was a celebration of an individual — com- pleting Mrs. Jones' dreaded semester proj- ect. or of a group — dancing to a new song, beating an old rival, or just living it up on Main Street, spirit surfaced through some new and some rathe; unusual ways!
