. a,- GARY R, HERBERT T. DOUGLAS A. THOMAS A. JAIVEES J. GLASSMEYER GOETSCHIUS GOIDKAMP GOODHART GOSINK As we wound our way through our high school years two words were constantly appearing to us. Whether we read them in the Crusader or heard them over the announcements, they were al- ways present. School spirit became the key phrase in our high school vocabulary. The reason was quite apparent. They represented that certain something that every truly successful class must have claim to. It's rather difficult to define school spirit, but it is rather easy to exempli- fy it. It seemed that school had just begun when before we realized it the football season was under- way. Our varsity team was looking forward to another successful season as has been the heri- tage of football teams here at Moeller. The senior class realized that it needed something to unify itself with and it found the answer in the support of the football team. The varsity team, featuring a starting lineup composed mainly of members of the class of '68, again carried the pigskin through a successful season, that terminated in. an 8 win 2 loss record. Of course there were low points in the season. The two losses which did eliminate us from contention for the GCL crown had an affect on school spirit. Whether or not this affect was as serious as supposed is difficult to determine. However, the relative easiness with which the spirit once again reached a peak would seem to indicate that it had never reached the alleged low ebb. But a suffi- cient amount of school spirit was always present and the fact that it did dwindle after our two losses only indicates that the class of '68 took so much pride in our representatives on the grid- iron that it was extremely difficult to see them lose. Perhaps there never was a lack of school spirit, but only a loss of the feeling of grandeur that had been previously mistaken by certain in- dividuals for school spirit. 44
