Rowdy Rebels Teachers contribute to school spirit. Shirts and sweatshirts were pur- chased this year as part of the facuIty's school spirit. We all wanted the kids to know we were behind them, Mrs. Judy Akins, counselor, explained. Miss Dorothy Hosford, English teacher, even permitted classtime for games. Each week before the games her students predicted who would win. The person closest to the exact score would receive extra credit points. These two also had their own sug- gestions as to how faculty members could increase school spirit. For instance, Miss Hosford sug- gested that by going to the games and helping the cheerleaders when they are in need was a way to boost spirit. While Mrs. Akins said, lf the guys know we are there, then they know we are behind them. Other demonstrations of school spirit were shown at the pep rally to celebrate the state championship in December. A group of teachers, Mr. Keith Mahaffey, Mrs. Jennifer Chap- pell, Mrs. Lillian Kropp, Mrs. Judy Lee, Mrs. Antoinette Beland, Mrs. Fran Atkinson, Mrs. Ann Hood, Mrs. Catherine Foster, and Miss Hosford did a special cheer to congratulate all the Rebels for a fine victory. Mrs. Jan Eddleman, social studies teacher, supported spirit with posters and cheering at the pep rallies. Kids should be more supportive, but teachers should be right behind them, she said.
