PLAY IT AGAIN AGAIN Junior Christy Briggs pushes her way into a te with senior Dusk Robinson in the musical chairs competition. This event and oth- ers made Homecoming Week a success. THE SOPHOMORES PICKED UP ON THE JUNIOR AND SENIOR TRADITIONS TO CREATE A WEEK LONG FIESTA. O-W-D-I-EH MSO infected the school. No, it wasn't some new disease. It was the Maximum Spirit Output possible for homecoming week. Crucial to building up the excitement for homecoming, the spirit week was packed with euphoric events. It start- ed off with activities that were easy to get into. The lunch games and dress-up days built up to the traditional Blue and Silver day and the foot- ball game. Adding to the excitement was the senior prank and a dis- pute over the musical chairs activity. Those sly senior class officers sab- otaged the underclass- mens' straws on the sip a little , but the event was thrown out, of course.

Accomplishing this was tough enough, but it was a rude awakening when stu- dents found out that mon- ey had to keep rolling in for little things like gas. insur- ance. and repairs.
