,f DZ What a Friday it was! When the students arrived that morning, they were shocked to see their work decimated. Floats and deco- rations were torn down and scat- tered across the campus in ruins. The juniors though, seemed to suf- fer the most damage. Their desig- nated pep area behind the gym was completely destroyed. How- ever, if vandalism was meant to dampen the spirit of the student body, it failed , . . miserably. Dur- ing classtime as well as both lunches, students diligently worked to repair the damage in- flicted on the floats as well as put- ting some improvements on them, making them better than ever. Each class pulled together as one and in no time at all, the floats were ready to roll! The amount of preparation for the final day of Pep Week was enormous. All four classes worked hard on their floats and on their shows for the rally. According to junior Jean Selvaggio, We worked for about two weeks, three to four hours every day at the work parties. It was very tiring, especially on school nights, but it was worth it in the end. The week was very hard indeed, but it was not without fun. Stu- dents were allowed to dress in var- ious ways during the week accord- ing to the theme of the day and to which class they belonged - a great way to break dress code and use some creative imagination. It was Friday, though, when everyone came dressed to play, making that the day of greatest participation. Freshmen arrived dressed as their favorite rock n' roll stars, while sophomores dressed in native cos- tumes for their International theme. Juniors disguised them- selves as exotic savages, treasure- hungry pirates, or just lost tourists for the South Pacific style. Sum- mertime Blues was the name of the game for seniors who dressed accordingly: beach and swimwear and lots of sunscreen. Students had trouble concen- trating in their seventh period classes. Excitement built up be- cause the final Pep Week rally would come with the approaching bell for in this case, air-raid siren due to the new bell systeml. Out- side, there was great commotion with people running around tak- ing care of last-minute details. 14. 9 54 sk Sophom es c er ln lnner clty style as en' e mc theme Their floats class was International 24 Student Lute A i Ten minutes before starting, how- ever, the junior float engine died. After several unsuccessful at- tempts to jump-start the truck, they resorted to having their float towed. That didn't change things a bit though, for as it turned out, the parade and the junior class float were a great success. The parade itself on Friday was the high point of all Pep Week. It included the lip-sync contest, which came before the parade and set the atmosphere for the crowd who responded with great enthu- siasm, not to mention lots of cheering and screaming. After the crowd died down to a semblance of order, the floats rolled in. Every class float did their job of inciting the audience, most notably the seniors who doused them with buckets of water. The parade was followed by the judging of each class' participation over the week. This honor was narrowly won by the senior class. Students were excited to see Pep Week come, but not to see it go. Friday was the greatest day of the week but also the last. Too bad the spirit and enthusiasm couldn't last all year long.
