Eldora Seniors Stage Clever School Spirit Ruse

Eldora high school seniors staged a clever skit to dramatize missing school spirit during Friday’s assembly. Two seniors emerged from a stage setup representing the lost article. one popped from a back room, the other leaped from a brush pile to reveal the object as school spirit. A pep rally followed, underscoring waning enthusiasm. Eldora lost 19 to 0 at Grundy Center, but the article of school pride remains in focus as the crowd pledges to boost support.
