BRANT DUOISUY “A THE JETS BLACK BLUE pirit Week was what made every- one excited for the “Big Game” against our cross town competi- tion, the Encinal Jets. We wanted our stinging Hornets to buzz the | Jets out, to show them who was the loud- -. ° S F, est and of course the most spirited. We engaged in Class Competition ev- ery day of the week. Seniors were at the top of the list, usually winning the most points for their class. “| won best nerd costume and | tried to get all my friends to dress up for all the days,” said Jill Freistroffer enthusiastically, when asked how she helped her class be more spirited. Everyone was dressed in those funny looking costumes all having to do with beating the Jets. These outfits ranged from pajamas to nerdwear, as black and blue as a bruise and all the way to gold and white. Monday, we walked in our sleep in pajamas. Nerds invaded our school on Tuesday and we made the Jets sweat on Wednesday. On Thursday, we achieved the almost impossible and bruised the opposing team. Friday, the day of the “Big Game” the Hornets showed there stuff in gold and white. “Nerd day was the best because it was funny to see everyone dress up. It took a lot of guts,’’ giggled Karen Fong. Many people were wondering why we had a Spirit Week. Was it just something someone made up a long time ago and made it an annual event? Of course not! “It shows how spirited our school is and makes the other school look stupid when we all dress in gold and white costumes,” Eva Hageman said. This week showed a lot about our school. By dressing up, we showed that we really enjoyed coming to AHS, and besides, it was fun!! “Nerd day was the best,”” — Karen Fong
