 B1 uej prints For S] pirit It was a special week during which spirit flared as Boone County’s students proved that school pride was alive and well in Rebel Country. Through- out the year, students had put up with bulldozers and jack-ham- mers revitalizing Boone County’s physical appearance but during Spirit Week, the Rebel enthusi- asm was renewed. Each day of spirit week was dedicated to a different area of pride. First came Club T-shirt day. Hundreds of students belong- ing to different organizations were given a chance to show their pride and boast their favorite club. One of the most unique days was Football Day. On this day, the cheerleaders and football players were required to say, “Beat Con- ner”, before they could speak. It was our football game against Conner that inspired the week it- self. Failure to say this phrase re- sulted in their giving up paper footballs to the people who caught their mistakes. But as the day wore on, it seemed as though beating Conner dominated every- one’s thoughts. Then came the day. The pride of physical fitness and comfort was evidenced as the students came to school in their favorite sweat- suits. Pride in our high school was not the only kind of pride demon- strated during their week of spir- it. College sweatshirt day pro- vided the opportunity for stu- dents and faculty alike to boast their favorite colleges. It was evident that this fun- filled week payed off and the revi- talization of spirit was complete. The students were able to show their pride and make the week time well spent. 24 Spirit Week

Season Celebration As students returned on Monday December 12 from their four day weekend, due to snow, it seemed that the spirit of the holiday season had arrived. The week began with teachers filling their rooms with festive decorations, giving their classes a holiday atmosphere. The clubs at BCHS also knew the holiday season was here. The Student Council decorated the cafeteria and began plans for the “Almost Anything Goes” to be held on the Friday before Christ- mas vacation. The FBLA held their annual Christmas banquet. DECA club held their annual food drive for the needy, and to get the members of the four foreign lan- guage clubs in the Christmas spir- it, all were invited to Kings Island for a fun filled evening at Winter- fest. To add further to the holiday environment throughout the halls, the Student Council spon- sored a Christmas door decorating contest in each homeroom. Treats from Emerson’s Bakery were awarded to the lucky homeroom with the most clever door design. Even some teachers participated in a secret Christmas gift ex- change. As Christmas approached, the music of Christmas was heard. During lunch, the chorus enter- tained the faculty and students with familiar Christmas carols in the library. The band performed a number of Christmas arrange- ments at their Christmas concert on December 16. The spirit of the season was alive and happy at Boone County. Students and faculty shared in the festive mood as the long awaited holidays approached. We were looking forward to a Boone Coun- ty Christmas. 26 Chfistmas
