When the going gets tough; the tough ... c . !-•■ Cheri Piest Showing spirit is a major impor- tance to each school. Throughout the campus VPHS students, ASB and cheerleaders worl d togeth- er to build spirit and make this the peppiest class. Spirit builds en- ergy, excitement, and enthusi- asm, commentf ' i Shanna Crab- tree, Junior. The Mr. spirit contest, won by Ken Robinson, gave guys a -hance to show how much spirit and guts they had. There were Mr. Spirits everywhere wearing costumes of blue tights, capes and goggles and riding small Kick and Goes. The next Booster Hawaiian day saw strictly floral prints and grass skirts as the in garb. Cheer- leaders passed out leis while stu- dents feasted on ribs, corn on the cob, and pineapple upsidedown cake, (the next best thing to a real Luau!). The goals of each spirit booster activity were to get everyone in- volved and have fun. We need spirit to stay alive. Without it sports would be bummed out, said Nari Takimoto, J.V. water polo player. Without a crowd to cheer on the team, the players don ' t perform as well. Villa Park has really never had Spirit, and I don ' t think that we know how to show it, com- mented Gregg Earl, Senior. I think this year will be the best, thanks to the cheerleaders and the help of the student body, said Junior, Deanna De la Riva. Catch the Spirit! Ms. Julia Theilman, Activities Director, points out the new slogan for the year. The assenrxbly was held to introduce the cheerleaders and build school spirit. Kick ' en back and feasting on a real Hawaiian cook out, Stephanie Cambell and Nadia Hassan enjoy the country D.J. By the way, that ' s not a real horse! fj Opening

My mother alv ays Told me that CP ' w- : K Come in Sm Il Packages Deanna de la Riva The band B so small it can only form 1 letter pi a 4 letter word. They can ' leven spell out Villa Park, they ca|i only spell VP. These were some of the re- marks heard throughout VPHS about the Marching Spartans Band. Although there were only 16 band members, their perfor- mance was still as good as ever. With all 3 group.v working togeth- er and practicing hard, they hoped to win 1 st ;; r 2nd sweep- stakes at the May Parade where they took 3rd place last year. We practiced 2 hours in the morning and on weekends. We ' re like a family, stated Jackie Schulkey who has been in Tall Flags for 2 years. Sherida Nelson was 1 of the mouths for the 3 groups. I run around and get ev- eryone real hyped up and spirited because that way their perfor- mances will be great. The main goal for everyone was to go on tour to San Francisco and Colorado. Sean Crabtree and the Band perform for the audience by playing Tequila at Kelley Stadium during half time. Practicing their precision tinging. Julie Byron and Winni Wang, along with Tall Flags, practice on the VPHS foot- ball field. ■| Op entng
