orth High Pride Red Arrow helps keep spirit alive We are the Red Arrow and we are from North High! That was the chant the Red Arrow pep club used to in- troduce themselves at pep assemblies, football games, and various other school activities throughout the year. Times change, but traditions remain at North. A new spirit group was formed, replacing Tribe to keep spirit alive and exciting during the year. By helping the cheerleaders cheer, supporting athletic teams, and Hlling the stands with red and white, the Red Ar- rows achieved their main purpose of raising school spirit. Red Arrow gave more girls a chance to show their spirit and become involved. To be chosen, a candidate had to write an essay on why they wanted to represent North by being a Red Arrow. The essays were judged by a faculty panel, girls were then interviewed and chosen. For a new group, Red Arrow began taking on many resposibilities in helping promote school spirit. Red Arrow was in charge of Homecoming Week. Some of thier duties were deciding the themes for spirit days. Another duty dur- ing spirit week was decorating the football stadium with posters, balloons, and crepe paper. During half time at the football game they let off red balloons while the marching band played U99 Red Balloons. The Red Arrows continued to promote spirit even after Homecoming Week was over. They organized a bus trip to Emporia to watch and support the football team in defeating the Spartans.
