Suddenly the flash of color on a spirit ribbon caught an eye. The halted sh- outs of class calls echoed through the halls. Then came the arrival of muins with their ribbons, bells and trinkets. These were only the symptoms of a condition cal- led school spirit. The two major exhibitions of this spirit were pep assemblies and football games. Behind the spirit at the games were fans. Each had a different motivation for at- tendance. “I go to watch the football game because I like football. junior ken Dobbs said. Not everybody went to the games to watch, however. 1 go just to get away from home. junior Matt Cash said. Another reason for going to games was socialization. “The games are fun. You get a chance to talk to everybody about what happened during the week. sophomore Ha Tran said. To get everyone ready for the games, pep assemblies included cheers, routines and a pep talk. Pep as- semblies get people excited for the games. They give or- ganizations a chance to prac- tice performances and gets them ready and excited. sophomore Becky Bengston said. Although pep as- semblies and football game were the main exhibitions c school spirit, other athleti events drew attention. Afte basketball season, the yea comes loan end. People don' come to support athletic: People have spirit, they jus don't show it. junior Mar Zarzuela said. 1 think there’s a lot c school spirit during footbal season, but once it's over, th spirit seems to die away, junior Lynne Smith said. After the excitemen died away, the poeplc re mained to finish the year. Bu the fevered pitch was left hi: hind, just like the fading ril bons and other symbols tha reminded students of schoo spirit and unity. •Aimre?

This is the beginning of Ihc ending of ihc ‘80s—every man for himself. Magazines, store man- nequins and television fashion were once the total image of style. However, people today are be- coming more conscience of their attire and the way they look, especially since fashion desig- ners arc beginning to be creative and personal, yet realistic and down-to-earth. With such an abundance of originality, there's no limit to one's daily dressing creativity. -Cinnamon Sheffield Ever since the early ‘Bits, teenagers have been obsessed with one thing: fashion, but this fact brings me to another ques- tion: Why? I mean, what's the use in spending what sometimes turns out to bean outrageous sum of money on something that's here today and gone tomorrow? It's not like I’m trying to separate myself from everybody else, but I don't see Ihc sense in paying $90 for a pair of tennis shoes that say h'll.A or $00 for pants with a simple question mark on the back of them. One reason for this fashion obsession is the ever popular peer pressure. If you wear what you want to wear, instead of the fad for this week, you'll be more comforta- ble. your pocketbook will be heavier, and most importantly, you'll always be in style: your style. -Philip Polk Let’s talk lunlor Anh I. and «color Tuan Whinner socialite while «landing In the lunch linrduring C lunch l.c wear» Ihc classic slim skirt with a silk »hiri and long cardigan.
