Responsible for spirit Grizzlies support activities l I I Cheering the teams on in hopes of a vic- tory was probably the most noteable way the student body supported the school. The cheers and chants echoed by the crowd en- couraged the teams to do their best. The cheerleaders were selected to boost spirit and pride throughout the school year. They attended all athletic events, made goody sacks full of cookies and candy, and made posters and hung them in the com- mons. Dancing their way into the hearts of the student body as well as the crowd at athletic events, were the Honeybears. The Honeybears continued a tradition when they decorated all of the football players houses and gave them breakfast before the sun was up on Homecoming morning. Another spirit raising group was the mar- ching band. At home football games the band perfomed the half-time shows in full uniform and displayed an array of geometric designs on the field. Playing songs like Beat It and The Fzgbt Song the pep band was present for the first half of the basketball games. Depending on the dress code for the night, the members would wear anything from blue and gold to army uniforms. With average attendance numbers like 690 at basketball games and 1,545 at foot- ball games, the Booster Club reached its goal. They got together and planned money raising events to get money to buy new uniforms and equipment. No matter who the spirit raisers were, the crowd and student body were the most im- portant. They were the ones responsible for the great spirit Northwest had. -Kelli Brown F? .gf '. 1 l l - .4-4 S-A . . ,.., 1 E wif, . B l n . . X. -, Z TQ- .X 'L f ' Le- ,rms School Involvement ' 5
