Participating, showing spirit makes high school more memorable

Every year, the fine people of Student Council put together three weeks filled with wacky-anything days, class color days, and days when teachers and students switch something around.
But every year, less and less students choose to partake in these events. Class color days do get support from a group of 12 girls who met the night before and glittered some green or pink t-shirts. Not what I would call a class stepping up. And sure, the football games were filled with supportive fans who went to the shirtless-in-freezing-cold-extremes. Or was that just a cluster of the same forty people at every game?
This year students should try something radical: participating. Don’t let the same seven guys spell “Knights” on their chest at football games. Some group should do it with sparklers or some sort of mega-phone. On class color days, try making a sea of uninterrupted green, maroon, blue and purple. When kids say that they hate high school, it’s not because high school unknowingly sucks, high school is what you make it. You can muddle through and tell stories later in life about how you swam against the current for four years, or you can make it something that you never wanted to leave because one Friday night you went shirtless to a football game when it was 49 degrees out and the team still lost.
But you didn’t.
