The Spirit of the Class of 87
Do you remember the fun we use to have? We had a lot of "SPIRIT"! I even see a sign saying Spirit of 87. "Oh, to be young again." That must be what you are thinking. Have you lost that spirit.........not sending me anything? Am I the only one still young at heart? I hope these photos remind you of all the spirit we had as a class.
Dig through those old photos and it will all come back to you. Then you will be anxious to send me some. Get out that "Memories" book.....why it is call that, I do not know. I have forgotten why I wrote some of that stuff in it. What good is having a memory book if you can't remember? However, my picture make it seem like yesterday.
This may not be the clearest photos. We have managed to hook up our old scanner (???), and the resolution is not the best nor where the quality of these photos. If you look close, you just may see yourself. John Savage, I know your reading, and I think that is you next to Ashley in the above photo. Tom, the buttons must have fallen off of your shirt you had so much spirit.
Lisa, I know that is you with that pom-pom and your mouth wide open next to our long lost friend, Shawnna. If anyone should know the where abouts of Shawnna, please tell her she is missed and to contact me. Kelly Cartwright you are missed too! You are all missed......contact me! Tell me where you are. Share your memories with all.
I bet we even won the spirit stick at this pep rally. We all had on "Tiger Buster" shirts. We were playing Slidell, and it was the first game the football team was going to play in the new stadium. I am almost sure we lost, (I am sure a reading Tiger will varify) but that did not break our spirit. We were the "Panthers".... the mighty, mighty Panthers.
I know the stadium has come a long way since our first game played in it. Hopefully, we will get the opportunity this fall to go back to a Homecoming game and show them we haven't lost the spirit. If you are out of town and can't make it, you can still show your spirit via the blog.

Yes, you are right, you did lose to the Tigers-that was the year we went to the Dome and the year the Panther football team was so mean to the Swingerettes :-)
You are right....the Tigers did go to the dome for the State game or something. I have that written in my memory book. Sorry about them being mean to the Swingerettes. I know they are sorry and have all grown up to be decent men.
PS...Hey now, I am trying to reguvinate the Panther Class of 87's spirit...not kill it. I need fond memories! However, you are one of few giving me comments. :-|
