.■ HI N ' MAKf SoHFWa GET OH «» OF 10»1PY)DURI Game day sparks spirit Thursday: game day, spirit day. During football season, this was the most activity filled day of the week. Around 8:00 a.m., the band, cheerleaders and drill team lined up in the front parking lot and be- gan their stuff as the football play- ers marched out to the Anchors Away fight song. On Oct. 20, the only indoor pep rally was held in the gym during sixth period. It was the best pep rally ever, sophomore Christina Ottens said. Special guests at the Oct. 20 pep rally are Dr. and Mrs. Ralph Potest and their grand- sons, Jake and Zack. Principal Michael Ed- dy presented Dr. Poteet with a spirit towel and cap later in the rally. During the administration spellout, a spirited Lanny Frasier helps out by making a P. When the spellout was completed, the principals had spelled out P-l-R-A-T-E- S. I loved the way everyone got in- volved. Each Thursday during football season, students and teachers wore ties, hats, stripes and other accessories to promote spirit for the upcoming game. I dressed up some of the time, but when I didn ' t, it was only be- cause I didn ' t have time to find something to wear, freshman Alex Tan said. Building the Pirate tradition was becoming a part of the routine. (Samia Siddiqui)
