In the season following a state championship, the football team backed by the school found that being a Spartan meant accepting losses gracefully and moving straight ahead. Students were not only involved in academics, but showed up in the Colesium for a basketball game, in the auditorium for a Chorale performance, and in the halls with an Oracle newspaper. The parking lots were usually full of cars of students attending classes or activity night, with the band and Spartanaires practicing for a few hours in between to perfect their routines. From sports to fine arts, including everything in between, being dedicated and being involved meant being a Spartan.
