Spirit Bacli On Tlie Rise The spirit of WHS was questioned in the past by many observers. Problems with student attendance had been a wide spread and lack of participation and support at athletic events or pep assemblies was evident. But the students have attempted to meet the challenge. Absenteeism and truancy have been on the decline. Although the student support at athletic events has not been the greatest, the loyal students that did attend backed the team with a tremendous amount of enthusiasm and pride. Furthermore, students have showed their support by getting involved in other activities Spirit Week gave many students the opportunity to express their pride in Washington and at the same time their creativity. Another was the wearing of school sweaters. The value of an athletic sweater had increased right along with spirit. Students were becoming aware of their school and putting forth an effort to support. The cheerleaders keep the crowd fired up even in the coldest of weather.
