Spirited Links Whor is if rhor keeps school from being dull, redious. and mind-numbing? Doubtless your firsr reaction is rhor norhing keeps school from being dull. Well, you ore wrong. School doesn't hove to be boring. Spirit, school spirit, mokes school fun and exciting. We've got spirit, yes we do, we've got spirit, how bout you? This well known chonr may be heard from the mouths of many screaming girls at any major sport- ing event. What is spirit? And who are those girls odomed in vivid colors of red and black? Let's rake one question at a rime. What is Spirit? Well, depending on the individual, spirit may be expressed in many different forms. For some, being o cheerleader or compering for on athletic team shows school spirit. Still others feel writing LHS oil over everything in sighr is a for better way of expressing their school spirit. Then there ore the few who disguise their spirit by kicking out the roillighrs of the opposing school's vehicles, or booing or the referees for making those close colls, whoops, bod calls! As mentioned before, spirit is expressed in o rather wide range of styles. Tradition continues Walking down the halls of LHS on a Friday, one might see approximately 120 girls dressed in short skirts ond sweaters, that consist of two main colors,- red and black. Conformists? No! fromoring school spirit? Yes! These girls, dad in four basic uniforms, comprise the LHS Pfep Club which has been on LHS tradition for many years. This organization consists of the Fbmalinks, the Varsity ond Reserve Cheerleaders, ond the Peppers. You ask. how do these girls promote school spirit? Firsr of all. one of the most noticeable woys this group shows spirit is or the LHS fpotboll ond basketball gomes. Yes. that mob of screaming girls chanting along with the Varsity Cheerleaders, is definitely advocating school spirit. This group also spends many hours making deco- rative locker signs ond planning pep rallies to get every- one fired up before o big gome. But wait! Whor ore those runes of the Lone Ranger one hears coming from the stands of Seocresr Field? No, you shouldn't expea to see a masked man riding o silver horse dort oaoss the field, but instead the Links Marching Band. This is perhaps the largest spirit organiza- tion or LHS, with 140 members. Once ogoin you ask, how does this group promote school spirit? Obviously the bond keeps the morale of the Link fans high with an almost consronr flow of pep- music. The bond also supplies a variety of songs at the pep-rallies And don't forger the notorious band mem- ber who fires up the crowd with his bizarre body lingo at almost oil games. Your last question must surely be, how con I pro- mote school spirit? It isn't necessary to be involved in one of the above spirit groups. Whor is necessary is for you to wont to get involved, and together with your friends pool your spirit for one common goal—on LHS victory!
