Knv:i N.-'lJrrmjn Week generates unlimited spirit Preparing for game against Lamar, combustible emotions begin to boil. The time had come. A time for friendly rivalry, a time to show intense school spirit, a time to buy a few more bottles of white shoe polish, a time to find some use (finally) for those funny- looking old ties in Dad's closet, a time to duck flying Chicken McNuggets. The annual Lamar game cli- maxed a series of events that started on the Monday before the game. Spirit Week gave the Colts a chance to blow off some excess school spirit, to dress a little strangely (so what else is new), to redecorate a few hallways, and, yes Ross Perot forbid, even to have a little fun. Day One of Spirit Week '85 en- couraged Colts to come to school wearing sweat suits, white socks, and sneakers for Lamar, No Sweat Day. Colts wore Hawaiian shirts, beach hats, and some even had shorts (over their bluejeans, of course, Mr. Perot) on Tuesday. Wednesday, Clash Lamar, saw an incredible arrav of colors per person. For once, tne Colts showed a total lack of taste. Somehow they did even this tastefully. Thursday called for a black tie af- fair — but since not all Colts owned black ties, they wore any color they could dig up for Tie up Lamar Day. Friday, the grand finale of Spirit Week, crowded a lot both officially and unofficially, into one day. As the day began, green and white-clad Colts dressed for the traditional Green and White Fri- day, found themselves in the gym at one last Colt pep rally. As the pep rally ended, the Colts exited the gym and noticed that on the first floor, the front, middle, and back hallways were decorated. The back hall belonged to the sophomore class, whose theme was A Colt Heaven. Colts pass- ing down this hall were sur- rounded by clouds and a number of haloed hoofprints. A casual stroll down the middle hall allowed the traveller to kick Lamar all they wanted, as a result of the senior theme, Kicks in '86, which featured end-to-end carpeting with Lamar written all over it. The junior class won the com- petition with Fast Times at Arl- ington High. Their hall was made to look like a race track, complete with banners depicting the Colts' lone road to victory. The game was directly preceded by yet another pep rally, this one on the spot at UTA stadium. The Colts were given one last send-off before World War III began. The game itself was spectacular- dazzling passes, awe-inspiring receptions — Aw, heck. We beat 'em, 17-7. ACTIVITIES 25
