Alcalá 1992

Pride ... • Ill our school, • Ill ourselves The USD community 1s a proud one. Students and faculty alike take part m showing support for their school, their athletic teams and their achievements.

S chool spirit is more than just owning the entire line of USD sweatshirts (complete with matching sweat pants), or just simply attending every home football and soccer game without fail. It's a feeling of exhilaration every time your team scores a touchdown or goal. It's a connection to the disappointment our team feels when the opponent claims vic– tory by an obnoxious margin. Andrea Rael, a sophomore, defines school spirit as "having pride in what's good in your school and caring enough to change what is bad." According to an anonymous freshman, "school spirit is caring dedication to the teams, the clubs, and the institution itself. Once you have school spirit it's easy to feel like you belong." Regardless of the definition, spirit is defi– nitely enthusiasm for the values and ac– complishments that USD holds dear. It's the meaning behind the crest on that sweatshirt that matters.
