ORANGE AND BLACK ATTACK Anyone who has participated in a sport knows it's nice to have people cheering him on. Spectators at a football or basketball game know by the array of orange and black worn by the fans that we have spirit. Okay, so who's looking at the crowd's attire? Then close your eyes and listen. Senior Football Cheerleaders Von Dunnegan, Darcy Rexroat, and Amy Sherwood helped keep the Crowds full of spirit. The best audience-reaction cheers are the ones that require an answer, and most effectively, the cheers that are directed at one class at a time. Of course the senior class usually wins on the Richter Scale. However, spirit is not just yelling cheers to overcome the noise of the game. The Bomber Car, owned by the B-29's, was proudly dis- played in both our Homecoming parade and Western's Homecoming parade. These seniors have showed they're willing to stand out to display their Bomber pride. And how many schools send their percussion section of the band marching around the school at 7:40 a.m. in their long-johns? In most every sport, on the day of the game or meet, signs are usually put up on the team's lockers. Seniors are probably the loudest when it comes to cheering be- cause they know it will be their last chance to yell at the little guys running around in orange and black. Whatever the reason behind their craziness, they add spirit to the extracurricular activities - and pride.

For the most part, the grads of '86 are avid sup- porters of sports whether they participated or were spectators. Some of this year's best players are Tonye Amochree, Roman Bor- met, and Max Ford, who were selected for the Illinois All Conference Football Teamg Mah Margenthaler, who made all confer- ence basketballp and Melanie Gibbs, who was a state qualifier in tennis. When asked what they achieved by partici- pating in a team sport, many senior players said that meeting new people, making friends, improving their game, and having the thrill of winning were probably the best things they got out of sports. They also learned that being on a team, no matter which one, in- volves a lot of work, pain and time. Although the class of 86's player-partici- pation has dropped over the years, the crowd support has been consistent and positive. With football and basketball being the big- gest crowd drawers, the senior fans have been there to cheer on all the players at home and away games. The seniors have also attended the less recognized sports, knowing what their players needed to give their all. The spectators really boosted mo- rale tor all sports and kept the players giving 100'Ma. xx LJ Seniors
