RIGHT: Cheerleaders perform for the audience at Half-time. An individual or small group of people can try to promote spirit among the student body, but they are not always successful. This situation was experienced by Thea Hindal at one time this year when she was the only member of Pep Club. She found it impossible for one person to build up suf- ficient spirit among the students. Promoting spirit throughout the entire school takes the cooperation of many people who are willing to work together to achieve that goal. Students must be proud of their school to do this. If students were willing to get together and do some hard work, this goal could be attained. A Vi V ...., i V:V..Vg The show of spirit among the student body was rather unsteady this year. At some Pep Assemblies, everyone was enthusiastic and there was an air of excitement throughout the gym. Students would come and be ready to really yell at these assemblies, but usually on the night of the game, most of these people seemed to have lost any inter- est they had in supporting their team. Show- ing support at assemblies is great, but it is more important to show this support when it really counts--when your team is out com- peting and representing each student of WHS. 95

Spirit Groups- a Losing Battle? tAbovel Cheerleaders cut the games won from the coaches' shirts. tBelowl Cheerleaders lead the audience in cheers at a football game. Two organizations dedicated themselves to promoting spirit throughout the school. Hav- ing an enthusiastic crowd behind them really does help an athletic team on to victory. These spirit groups spent a great deal of time and effort devising ways to build up spirit to show the team that the students they were repre- senting were behind them. The cheerleaders spent many hours practicing and learning new cheers to teach the students. This year the cheerleaders were advised of new ideas and different ways to increase spirit by Miss McCabe, a former cheerleader. One idea developed by the cheerleaders this year was to give the football and cross-country coaches a shirt with each game labeled on it. Each time their team won a game, that game was cut out of the shirt. l 5 1 as 1 ,gy XC 1 tAbovel l to r--KNEELING: Chris Clark, Thea Hindal, Linda LaClair MIDDLE: Sheri Swearingen, Kathy Ficklin, Debbie Pittson thiddenl, Barb Christensen, Barb Svarny, Sandy Hufford TOP: Karen Kaltbrunner, Miss Turman, Debbie Wishmann lBelowl I to r: Becky Goldstein, Emily Wolfe, Becky Sproat, Carol Forsman, Sandi Bisson, Chris Clark.
