Spirit Cheers and Enthusiasm! Despite accusations in recent years of a serious lack of school spirit. Spaulding fans have shown there's a lot of exaggeration in that statement. In fact, they've proven it time and time again this year. Enthusiasm for the fall sports teams was lively and impressive. Fans cheered ecstatically for their football team's victory over BFA, and crowded the sidelines of the fields as the soccer and field hockey teams played out yet another successful season. Many could be seen proudly sporting bright red and blue pins on their jackets and sporting miniature crimson footballs. Winter fans crowded into the Aud. the stomping ground of the boy’s bas- ketball team, to yell excitedly, raise home made posters in the stands, and join with their cheerleaders in loyal renditions of Glory to Spaulding , and the ever rowdy Gimme an S!In- creasing support for the girls basket- ball team shone through, as well as loyal dedication to the hockey players, in and out of their newly enclosed home rink. Wrestling fans, a num- bered but loyal group, cheered their guys on with firm support. — Leslie Day Top — Spaulding fans let. loose with streamers and confetti when Kay Gregoire hits her 10OOth point.

Weekends Were Made For . . . “Hey Bud, Let’s Party! Relief, sleep, wicked, too short, homework, excellent, end dull. They're all different ways of spelling out the word weekends, although the one most frequently heard, and which brings about the most smiles is “par- ty . Of course this isn’t to say from Friday on is one big party. There has been many a weekend described as dull, dead, and boring. This is when you go to Astro Bowl to spend your quar- ters playing Pac-Man. Spring and summer bring about the most parties and get togethers because of the warm weather. People seem to be more friendly when it is not twenty degrees below zero and their car won’t start! But winter weekends seem to bring the kids closer together. Friends are invited to houses for parties and to watch a movie on HBO. You’re more likely to see the regular gang on Friday and Saturday nights. Wherever and whatever we’re doing, be it sleeping late, partying with our friends, or watching a good movie, it's still better than being in school. — Leslie Day Weekends 21
