Spirited Crowds Urge Successful Team Past Tireless Opposition Football — an atmosphere pervades. The team presses for victory; people on the sidelines are drawn together in its support. The gut and grind of exercise on a muddy field. A steady thud of cleats. Excited coaches yelling and thinking. All — an open expression of the school’s spirit. The Bishops score as the crowd watches. Seven Hills cheerleaders strain their voices. Everyone is standing, and there is a sudden quiet. An air of expectation as the extra point is called for. The score: never too far behind, often close, fortunately ahead. Alumni stand among new boys at the ropes for a closer view. Masters discuss the situation, their breath visible in the chill. On the edge of a bleacher a parent sits, eager. Members of Varsity Football and Cross Country squads enjoy a brief rest period in Christchurch gym before athletic contests. From the sidelines, defensive back Hunt Taylor watches the Bishops fight a muddy and losing battle against Christchurch. Faculty athletic supporters Rick Palomares and Bert Hudnall share an umbrella as they watch a JV football contest. 11
