spirit STYLE corn. straight-forward approach to student government and his no bullshit atti- tudes. The enthusiastic leadership of De- lehunt and Nicholson made for a spir- ited atmosphere around school which sparked all activities from sporting events to the annual candy sale. The whole school backed the football team in its rally to a second straight co- city title. Radio Station WKDQ even de- clared a National Frank Will Day in honor of the gridiron coach.
