IQCD M55 Sgscaufta THE GIFTS OF SCHOOL SPIRIT Now, concerning spectator gifts, brothers and sisters, I would not want you to be ig- norant. There are varieties of spectator gifts, but they all stem from the same school spirit. There are varieties of spectator ministries, but the same team is cheered for. There are varieties of effects, but it is the same ball club that inspires all spectators in all things. To each one is given the manifestation of school spirit for the common good. For to one is given the gift of jumping. Jumpers usually sit in the lower portions of the bleachers. Whenever the cheerleaders see the need for united effort in a team cheer, they block the view of the jumpers during a crucial moment. The jumpers then stand and do their thing, causing those behind them to rise, which in turn sparks a chain-reaction. Quicker than you can say sitdownsowecansee , every spectator is on his feet. While the crowd stands, the little folk and the old folk are at a disadvantage for they don't know what is going on. That's where the gift of yelling comes in. Yellers are strategically spread out so that every spectator is within an earshot of a yeller. People who miss a play, miss a call, or misunderstand the whole game take their cues from the yellers. The yellers have a vital ministry to handicapped spectators, that is, provided that the spectator has the vocal fortitude to follow the cue. Some would-be yellers just can't cut the grade. Upon them, school spirit has bestowed the gift of whistling. Cheering without whistlers is like boiling water without a tea kettle. Sure, it can be done, but how would one know when the teatml is hot? Everyone benefits from the whistlers whether they want to or not, but there is a segment of spectators who fail to respond to the whistlers' signals. The sighers, as they are called, allow nothing to distract their concentration, including the whistlers' shrill signals. Sighers possess a much coveted gift. They compose a unique female faction within the crowd. Sitting in a cluster in the lower portions of the bleachers, but up high enough to pre- vent their view from being obstructed, each sigher, if she is a good one, never lets her man out of her sight. In fact, whenever the scorekeeper fails to see who made a field goal, his assistant simply turns around to see which sigher's face is shining like a bright red beacon light. Acting as an interpreter, he determines which player a particular sigher beams for. Then he relates the information to the scorekeeper. It is one and the same school spirit that is responsible for sighing and all other gifts, distributing them to each one individually as he wills. Now, if a yeller said, I want to be a jumper, how could the spectators get any noise. And the jumpers cannot say, I want to be a Whistler, for then the spectators would get no exercise. But the spectators are so arranged that they need each other. If one suffers, all suffer with him. If one is honored, all rejoice with him. Let every spectator desire earnestly his spectator gift. Each member having deter- mined his own gift, let each one use his gift to the edification of the team. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.-AMEN. by Sharon Johnson

122 M55 I SOCCC-DI' Multnomah's soccer team surprised the league, the school and themselves this year when they overcame a mid-season slump and went on to win the Pacific Northwest College Conference League championship. A season of sweat, pain and suffering boil- ed down to the last game for the Multnomah Ambassadors as they faced Northwest College in a do-or-die effort to claim first place. A large crowd of screaming spectators witnessed a rough, defensive battle that consumed half of the game and created a 0-0 deadlock at halftime. This style of play was broken only once-but once was enough-when, five minutes into the second half, MSB forward Jay Harms streaked past two Northwest fullbacks and bulleted the ball into the net. Harm's spurt of enthusiasm proved to be sufficient as MSB goalie Mike Paeth and his defensive gang shut out the quick Northwest team for a 1-0 victory. Multnomah Coach Dale Harada had just two things on his mind: We deserved it. And we needed a break. Al Dobra blocks an opponent. jolm Vredevelt tries to block opposing goalie. Carl Thompson The break referred to the history of Multnomah's soccer program. In its first two seasons of existence, this new branch of MSB athletics accumulated no wins. Besides losing a few season ticket buyers, the new program was quickly losing its in- itial zeal. The team decided on a small change of pace. Our third season we won the league championship, Harada said, but because of the previous two seasons, a lot of the players and a few fans thought it was just luck. This year we proved we could do it. At mid-season the team hardly seemed a candidate for the championship. With a dis- couraging record and a squad narrowed by injuries to twelve active players, the team's attitude slipped a bit, Harada said. Despite Portland's monsoon season the players kept coming out for practice and, according to Harada, It paid off. The team finished with a conference record of 5-1 and an over-all record of 9-5-1. Award winners, elected by the players, are Mike Paeth, Most Valuable Player, Dan Crane, Most Inspirational Player, and Ted McKenna, the Team Hustler ton the field-P by Don Henrikson Carl Thompson x. v LJ L r i .,.
