Spirited Students Whenever or wherever a Tiger athletic team played, there was always a large group of Central High students there also. Though frequently out- numbered when the athletic event was at one of the far corners of the state, the Central High students were never outdone in showing en- thusiasm and support for their team. It is this spirit displayed by Central High students that has gained the school the reputation of having the state’s most spirited fans. It is also this spirit that, according to coaches, has aided the Tigers in winning more state championship titles in sports than has any other team. Spirit was not limited to just athletic events. Central students were just as enthusiastic in boosting their school at state club conventions, in com- munity projects involving city schools, and—in general—anywhere they went. It’s an honor to be a Central High Tiger and we want everybody to know it, senior Dennis Nutt said. There was even a friendly competition among the three classes (sophomores, juniors, and seniors) to see which class could show the most spirit. This was especially evident at pep assemblies. It was always a toss- up in determining which class displayed the most spirit. In Tiger Flcldhouse, the junior varsity cheerleaders form a pyramid during one of their cheering routines. The junior varsity pepsters were on hand for both the B-tcam and the varsity basketball games throughout the year. Spirit—21
