School song

The Spring Lake High School fight song was written by Harold Louma, who died in 2009. The words are:
Go, go you Lakers go
Show them all your might
Go, go you Lakers go
Go out and fight
Ra! Ra! Ra!
Hail, hail to Spring Lake High
We're proud as we can be
We're here to cheer our team to victory
Fight!

[edit] Mentionable

In May 2006, Spring Lake, along with three other Michigan high schools, was named an "SI School" by Sports Illustrated and the Center for Health Promotion at Oregon Health & Science University. An SI grant will allow for steroid, nutrition, and drug prevention awareness programs for student-athletes at SLHS.[10]

BUT WE KNOW THE REAL REASON SI WAS THERE !

To get pictures of the cheer squad?

And how nice to receive a grant for a steroid awareness program. At
least they might learn what steroids to use and how long the glow time
is, so as not to get caught.

Cute idea. Trouble I see is that I can go from a state of green to
blinking lights (indicating panic) in a very short time, and back to
green again within a couple of seconds. For another road user to see
what's happening to me and take action in that time is unlikely. It
also gives them something else to amuse themselves with.. "Hey, let see
if we can stress the dude on the bike and make his helmet blink!" As
they seem to find plenty of distractions already, I don't think another
is a good idea.

Just recently a truck driver was distracted near here (Melbourne,
Australia), and drove through a level crossing while the boom gates were
down and lights flashing. The front of the truck cleared the
intersection, but the rear, carrying a load of potatoes I believe, did
not. The train collided with the truck and caused a huge wreck. The
train driver is alive - just, and amazingly just one passenger died as a
result of someone being distracted.

(Only just glanced at the subject... )

There's this thing called facial expression - extended to all kinds of
other non-verbal communication (I'm not so much into yelling) - much
more informative than a few discrete light modes.
