MERRYMAKERS West students have two things in common: their enthusiasm and their ability to have fun. During Spirit Week students were able to par¬ ticipate in many fun activities such as float building, dress-up days, tug-of-war contests, arm wrestling, hall decorating, juggling, the Hobo Day assembly, the parade down West Main Street and the pep rally on the corner of Third and West Main. Spirit Week brought out everyone’s enthusiasm, but this fun-loving spirit continued as an integral part of campus life throughout the year. Rhonda Richmond, LaToya Owens and Tamiko Martinez show their cheerfulness on Constitution Day Mary Mauer, Erin Moore and Shannon Perry (above) are all smiles.
