 Intrigued by the first quarter action, fans watch while the Rocket offense heads down the field for a touchdown and 2-point conversion. By sporting blue and white, Amy Chadwick helps the senior class gain points. The class of '81 won the compe- tition with 100 points to spare. When are love beads, miniskirts, and peace signs in style at Bay High School? Only once, and that was on Sixties Day, a new idea for Spirit Week, October 12- 16. Senior Gretchen McClurkin commented, “I thought the Sixties Day was a lot of fun and much more original and imaginative than a Fif- ties Day. For a new notion, Sixties Day caught everyone’s attention and many students partici- pated.” Spirit Week, coordinated by Pep Club, was planned during cheerleading practices. Senior Keri Priest stated, “We all sat around thinking up ideas and then we chose the top five.” The first assignment was an easy one: wear a favorite T-shirt and hat. Later in the week, blue and white attire was appropriate. Senior Seated in the cafeteria. Martha Saltia makes de- corations for a 27”x52’ cake made by the cheer- leaders. The cake re- sembled a football field. Sally Britton explained, “It was an easy way for everyone to show spirit.” During lunch a pie-eating contest and a baby bottle chugging contest were held. Points for each grade were tallied from the students who participated in each activity, and points given to the class who won each contest. Points could also be earned by eating cupcakes sold at lunch and dropping the chips found in- side into cans labeled by grade. At the bonfire held at Cahoon Park, the tra- ditional Spirit Week Trophy was presented to the senior class, which had accumulated the most points. Freshman Cindy Enneking ob- served, “The upperclassmen showed the fresh- man that the high school students really had a lot of spirit and support for their teams.” Spirit Week —

HBnyy The Hilter guise of alumni Scott Whitlock during his Home- coming Assembly speech provides comic relief for the crowd awaiting the announcement of King and Queen. Seated in the ela- borately decorated gym. Dave Summer and Stephanie Weeks dis- cuss the Homecoming game. Volunteeres spent all day setting up the gym. The call went out: the senior class needed eighty card tables. Eighty card tables, what for? Had someone lost their mind? No, the card tables were for the Homecoming Assembly. Seniors Karin Zisko and Bob Wolfe, co-chairpersons, used the tables to make the West Gym resemble a restaurant instead of a basketball court. ‘‘We really didn’t have any problems acquiring the tables,” said Karin. ‘‘It wasn’t just seniors who lent them, it was everyone.” Despite their efforts, Karin and Bob still had their share of problems. Even morning announcements asking for interested students to participate brought no one to help with the assem- bly. Still, the final effect was appre- ciated by the seniors and underclassmen. ‘‘It seemed more relaxed,” commented junior Joan Trexler. Also included in the array of Home- coming festivities was the dance empha- sizing the Roaring Twenties. ‘‘The total cost of the dance was about $1,000,” said chairperson Ruth Skowronski, ‘‘including all decorations, the band, and the sterling silver hearts given to all senior girls.” Although 213 couples attended the dance, it couldn’t cater to the tastes of everyone. Colleen Mackin, who attended with an out-of-school date, commented, ‘‘It didn’t meet my expec- tations, but maybe that was bcause the band took such long breaks.” Dave Dasco particularly admired the theme used for the dance. He observed, ‘‘The theme was well supported by the decorations. That made the dance more fun.” Homecoming— 17
