SPIRIT WE’RE LOYAL TO YOU, NILES WEST “Go Big Red” was a chant often shouted from exuberant Indian fans in freezing football weather, crowded gymnasium bleachers, and bus rides to neighboring schools. “Anything goes” was the atti¬ tude for expressing enthusiasm for our school. While some spent evenings stalking athletes’ homes armed with rolls of toilet paper for the traditional “teepee- ing”, others remained content with selling fundraising candy or decorating lockers. The band, cheerleaders, pom pon girls, and various team members created an atmosphere which encouraged even the most timid of fans to cheer the red and white machine on to victory. School spirit was depicted throughout the student body with Indian t-shirts, club jackets, buttons, pom pons, team hats, and various other paraphernalia dashed with red and white. Students quickly learned that exhibiting Indian spirit left the true fan with a heaping dosage of pride and loyalty for Niles West. 8 Spirit
