omecoming Enthusiasm Soars Classes Compete during Spirit Week By Renee Ramirez Tinsel, tourists, and Trooper pride emerged as the enthusiasm of Spirit Week crescendoed from Monday's vacation celebration to Friday's pep rally peak. For the Homecoming week of September 22-26 students dressed according to the different themes set for each day. Lunch-time activities added to the spirit as the officers of Student Council QSTUCOJ promoted class unity. Week-long activities were highlighted by competition. The Office Education Association sold spirit chain links to class members. At the rate of two links for five cents, students scraped together spare change to ensure that their class would win. STUCO sponsered a Kiss a Pig contest. Pictures of contestants were attached to jars in which money was collected. The contestant who attracted the largest donation was supposed to kiss a live pig during the pep rally. Monday's Spirit Week kick-off was vacation day. Participants wore tourist attire. During lunch an obstacle relay race was held. Class competitors ran down the track bearing eggs on spoons, ran three legged races, and dribbled a basketball while running backwards. The freshmen took first prize. The seniors didn't compete. Spirit Week started off slow but improved as the week went on, said STUCO vice-president Ron Pruitt. Tuesday marked gender bender! nerd day. Some students came to school as Pee Wee Herman look-a-likes while others settled for a change in gender attire. Sophomores took first in the lunch-time events with the seniors in a close second. The class competition included a basketball toss, a card toss, passing a grapefruit from chin to chin, and balancing on a coffee can while trying to light a candle. My favorite was passing an orange from person to person. That was a blast! said senior Michelle Shipley. On Wednesday students dressed in blue and gold to raise Homecoming morale for the afternoon parade and evening Burning of the E, I dressed in blue and gold to show my school spirit, said senior Christy Villanueva. Thursday turned students into greasers I0 spirit week and girls with poodle skirts. I dressed up on '50s day because it was fun to imagine the way life was back then, said senior Bonnie Delgado. At lunch cars were judged for most spirited. junior Irene Chavarria placed first, and senior Mario jaramillo took second while junior Phil Ramos took third. I had a guitar through the top of my car, and I used slogans like 'Go Troopers,' and 'Class of '87 Rules' all over my Mustang, said jaramillo. Spirit Week concluded with a Friday extravaganza. Winners of the competitions were announced at the pep rally. The winner of the Kiss a Pig contest was Pruitt and the longest spirit chain belonged to the junior class. Pruitt was awarded a stuffed piglet to kiss for raising 1536. I was upset that I won at first but then I blew it off, said Pruitt. Originally a live pig was scheduled to appear for the contest but the initial plan fell through. 'FT' .7 --440' , 'Q Q . VVXE .fky W Q-X ,. 1- ifft K Q ucker up!
