Keeping The Spirit Alive When a school has unified spirit, it makes the year seem to flow more smoothly for many students. School spirit is mostly seen at football and basketball games and at pep rallies. Spirit is not only exemplified at Scrapper sporting events, it is also seen in student participation at par- ades, beauty pageants, and in everyday school activities. Spirit is not just something that happens — it has to have some motivation to push it and get if going. Nashville High's motivations lies in the cheerleaders and the band. The cheerleaders, supervised by Mrs. Anita Stuckey, begin working on cheers and Kim Wells helps lead a Scrapper cheer during a spirited pep rally. Senior cheerleaders Janet Jones, Laurie White, Susie McKinney, and Debie Boden help the senior class in the Victory Battle Cry for the coveted spirit stick. 14 Student life

Some people say that even if the cheerleaders and the band were not there, the spirit would be just as great among the students. But what are band members and cheerleaders anyway? Students! A display of spirit from the junior class revs up an already potent DeQueen pep rally. Lori Smith concentrates on her music while Paula McDaniel plays and watches the cheerleaders do a dance routine.
