Alot of my facebook friends are able to attend the game tonight in Minot and I will be watching at home on tv. Never fear though, I am already wearing DP's school colors in an effort to show my support. Not that my dogs give a rawhide. They are the only ones here to witness my show of school pride! I am proud of those boys because this is the first time my school (for my Jr. and Sr. year) has ever been to the state tournament as a unified school! The DP Tolna girls went to state my Jr. year. But still, this is huge! I graduated from DP 14 yrs ago! Wow, does that make me sound old. I still have school spirit.
This entire last week I have been trying very hard to remember the words to the school song. I can still sing Unity's school song!
All hail Spartans hail, we are the sons of Unity!
Stand up and cheer Spartans cheer!
Shout out yours rahs from sea to shining sea! RAH RAH RAH.
Win Spartans win! We are a team that won't give in.
A victory for Unity!
All hail Spartans Hail!
But for some reason, I cannot recall a couple lines of the Dakota Prairie song.
Go Dakota Prairie Knights, Let's win this game tonight!
We'll let our spirit lead us on to victry show your power and might (Thanks Amber)
show our power and might
RAH RAH RAH
We are proud of what we've become!
Leading on to be #1
We have what others lack
Let's cheer for the Teal and Black!
If any of you remember please help me out!! Anyhoo, I have so much school spirit that I can now cheer for Lakota! My cousins attend school there and I cheer for them! At the girls state B tourney I cheered for Fordville Lankin Park River! They took 2nd! Now I am cheering for MY old school! Ah, the memories! Mr. Reinholz yelling at Mike McBain because he heard him swear in the hallway! Mr. Schock and his sense of humor! Gay Ray Smith, Mr. Eberhardt being kidnapped by Indians, and Mr. Stovers' coffee breath! (Thorsons' please don't repeat that! ;))
Who can forget Mr. Graupe bouncing on the folding chair onto the basketball court! Or Mr. Flem banging his cane on the desk while yelling "YOU'RE GIVING ME ULCERS!" I love to reminisce about those great years of my life, though I would NEVER go back and relive them! OH one more. Mr. Boese with gum on his pants in Kansas City, or nailing his pant leg to the frame of the garden shed we helped build! Funny stuff! One of the best memories was when we the class of 1995 had Sr. privileges. Senior Lounge to be exact. We kyped cable from across the alley so we could watch sports and music videos. The guys hid cases of soda in the rafters. Good times, Good times. *wipes tear*
School spirit lost is terrible thing. It is sad really that some can't identify because of bad experiences during their school yrs. I sit here wearing Teal, Black and White, waiting for 8:15 pm to roll around so that I can see my High School make a name for itself at the state class B boys basketball tournament, humming the school song, remembering old cheers, and filled with Dakota Prairie Pride!
LET"S GO KNIGHTS!!!!!!!!
Oh and if they lose right away--GO BOMBERS!!

I totally agree. LET'S GO KNIGHTS!!!!!!
Also what about Mr. Boese falling asleep while he was driving - that was funny then but scary now (or maybe he didn't do that when you travelled with FFA)!
I forgot to mention I laughed at loud at the thought of Mr. Graupe bouncing down the sidelines on his chair. I can still see it.
WOW! I'm even for the KNIGHTS and I was a Spartan! I was surprised that it was still the same School song as when I was at Unity ____yr's ago, well let me say many, many years ago. I still remember the song too,
A victory for Unity!
All hail Spartans Hail!
I remember singing the very end a little different but otherwise it was the very same.
FOR VICTORY, rah, rah
FOR UNITY, rah, rah
STAND UP AND HAIL SPARTANS HAIL!
OH YES, then after the song we all shouted as loude as we could,
RAH! UHS RAH,RAH,RAH
UHS RAH,RAH,RAH
U RAH, H RAH,
UHS RAH,RAH,RAH
Sorry, I guess my school spirt got a little carried away!
You would be so proud of me. Last night at work some guys were watching the game and said they didn't know where Dakota Prairie was. I was able to tell them. Yea ME! Any way it was a cute blog entry. By the way did they win? Oh and don't worry Nana Porcupine always gets a little carried away with school sports and spirit. We could always tell when she was at one of our games as she was one of the loudest moms there! What a great memory of a mothers support for her daughters.
Great memories. I DEFINITELY remember Mr. Graupe bouncing his chair around. It landed on my food more than one time since I was the student manager. I also got swatted on the arm more than once when frustration got the better of him.
