So what? So, things really were looking up. We looked long and hard to find the right ingredients to pull this school together and finally found them. Four years ago we had to res- tore racial harmony. Then it took the whole school and community to build the stadium that we really couldn't afford. But we did it. Then what could have been better for a new stadium than a winning football team or the supposed Spirit of '76 that we all had? The only thing that was better was the birth of something new and totally alive. We said hello to a spirit of different colors - orange and black. We finally had Tribe Pride and were quick to claim that the Tribe was back! The Tribe wasn't just a hot football team though. The Tribe be- came an entire unit of spirit, en- thusiasm, and glorious pride that was ever growing within the school. This Tribe Pride had become a wild passion in everything we thought, did, and said. Seniors had it. juniors had it. Sophomores quickly caught the fever of Tribe Pride. Even teachers wore the orange and black spirit. The community had Tribe Pride and why not? It was something to be proud of.

11 ,L ,. em L., The heat was a combination of hot Florida days and enthusiasm generated by 1500 screaming bodies. People packed the newly-painted orange and black gym, anticipating a rekindling of Tribe Pride. It was the first pep rally of the year. For a while, sophomores were reminded of their lowly status but cheerleader julie Reagan put a stop to the hazing by reminding everyone that the purpose was to cheer the school and gave the sophomores a warm invitation to join the spirit. Then the business began. Heads pounded, hands throbbed from clapping, and voices echoed the chant We're Number One! When all energies were spent, the student body sang the alma mater without music from the band. The sounds were far from musical perfec- tion, yet somehow, were incredibly harmonious. Things were looking up. Pep rallies: Spirit Builders or Time- wasters? I wish it'd been longer. Sandy Lewis. It gave me a headache! Chris Hunt. When you leave, you walk in a stupor because your ears are ringing from all the noise. Richard Forbes. The dance team had its jive together. Edward Bullock. It's a shame that kids are found by the flagpole and not in the gym. Mrs. Kathy Ford. Super from corner to corner! An- thony Freeman. The sophomores did better this time. Leslie Wilbur.

Actually, the senior class is up in arms over pride in the Fighting Seminoles' winning streak of five ga mes. Beating Gainesville is the only thing on the minds ofthe team and school during the pep rally. 1. tl . 'N il .. . 1 l w l l l l. H l l ll ll 'Q in l l l 1 1 l 1 l l l .l ll ll il Qi H THE FEVER l 3
