Spirit activities are school effort Mr. Bias in overalls? Ka- zoo bands running down the middle of Main street. Blazer Spirit Week got off to a rolling start as students and faculty alike became involved with home- coming activities. Floats, decorated in blue and white bunting carried out the theme Blazers do more in 74 . Slogans on the crepe papiered vehicles ranged from DeFeet 'Em to Rock 'Em , all wanting a victory over Michigan City in the coming game. The floats were followed by a decorated car caravan and a volunteer kazoo band, who diligently hummed the fight song along the en- tire parade route. Although the cloudy skies gave way to rain only clothes and crepe paper were dampened, spirit re- mained electric. Shouts of 'Victory' echoed through the halls as spirited students met afterwards in the gym for a pep session. Floats were judged the next evening, seniors taking 1st, sophomores 2nd, and juniors 3rd. The weekend was topped off by a 54-6 win over the Michigan City Red Devils. Spirit activities including wall decorating, bulletin board decorating, pep ses- sions, and a bonfire con- tinued into the next week as Central prepared for its cross town rival Memorial. The day of the game, principal Al Bias appeared in overalls. Mr. Hungate and Mr. Minichello had on cowboy outfits. Many fac- ulty members wore cos- tumes or just put on their jeans and Blazer T-shirts. The faculty's clothing fling and student's spirit triumphed as the Memorial Chargers fell 26-0 to the Elkhart Central Blue Blaz- ers.
