Spirit Week proves to be iz week af fun, tradition, and glass crrrrzpfftitirr When was the last time you know of, that dressing up like a nerd was acceptable? Can't re- member? Think hard. For most students, the week of the home- coming game tends to be slightly crazyg and for good reason. A few days before Trojan Week be- gins, Student Government classi- fies each day of the week as something fun, yet different than the year before. Monday, September 16 sig- naled the beginning of another Homecoming Spirit Week, nerd day. Nerd day has got to be the wierdest day l can think of. Actu- ally, it's kind of stupid, but it's fun, said junior Ben Booker. Taped, thick rimmed glasses, oversized polyester plaid shirts, and high water pants were the general costume for nerds that day. Tuesday the 17 was labeled movie star day and students were encouraged to dress up as their favorite actor. As one might have guessed, the majority of the students who participated were either Sylvester Stallone in Rambo, or Michael J. Fox's character in Back to The Fu- ture. Wednesday, Caddyshack day , called for checkered caps, OP's and golf clubs. Homecoming Week Thursday was Beach day. While not exactly Palm Beach, students had no problem pre- tending tand wishingj that they were at the beach enjoying a day of fun in the sun. Fortunately, for those that thrived on extracurricular activity, Student Government set up games during lunchtime. They were plagued between classes and the winning class for that day was the defending champions until another class beat them at something else. Monday's lunch- time activity was a rootbeer drinking contest. The juniors won that contest, but were defeated by the seniors on Tuesday during the V.W. racing contest. Wednes- day was a water balloon tossing contest and more than one stu- dent returned to sixth hour just a little wet. The games concluded Thursday with a tug of war with the seniors eventually coming out on top. Finally it was Friday and time for the Pep Assembly. At ap- proximately 10:00 students filed into the gym unaware of the ex- citement Mr. Hewson had pre- pared for them. The fun began when the band played Joshua and everyone, including the freshmen, joined in. Following a number of Hewson cheers, the students were ready for a little ac- tion. Hewson introduced four foot- ball players, completely dressed in football gear and representing the individual classes. The object of the competition was to see which player could undress himself completely and redress the cheerleader as- signed to him. Seniors Chris Wid- helm and Jill Brown won easily. One by one, the fall sports were intro- duced: Girls swimming, soccer, cross country, gymnastics, golf and football. Scattered among the intro- ductions were competitions be- tween not only the class but be- tween the sports as well. The band again contributed to the fun by playing and singing George of the Jungle, Mr. Hew- son's new school song. Before one knew it, the assembly was over and it was time to go back to class. The sophomores returned happily after winning the class competition and the juniors and seniors vowed the-y'd get even next time. After the last bell rang on Friday the 20th, Spirit Week was officially over. All that remained was the game itself and the dance. This was one of the best home- coming weeks we've had since l've been here , said Senior Mike Les- ter. I really enjoyed myself. - Chris Gallegos Senior Casey Sendserelh helps ere- Lisa Himmeibauer and Lisa Mitchell, ate the class float In Dave Porter's juniors enjoy the sun on their pretend garage.
