Junior Win Highlights Week Twirp week is a tradition that is popular among the students. During this week the roles are reversed. Girls ask the guys out and pay for the entire date. I think Twirp week is a great time for the girls to ask out the guysf' said sophomore Shan- non Estes. 'tThe reason most guys enjoy Twirp is because it is the only time guys do not have to pay, explained senior David Sanders. There is also a Powder-puff game in which the girls are the foot- ball players and the guys dress up like the cheer- leaders and Debs. Twirp week began on March 25th and ended on March 29th with the Pow- der-puff game. The contest between the juniors and the seniors was highlighted by the halftime festivities. Mr. Priceis announcement was proceeded by an excited crowd surrounding Steven Derrick, the new Twirp king. Steven was chased to the track where he was greeted by David Kaes, who drove him around the track in an old beat up green station wagon. After the Dashing Dude's performance, the game continued. The game was a very tight race ending in a victory for the Juniors with a score of 7 to 6. Twirp week really got everybody all hyped up for the big gamef' commented senior Russell Pearson. Stu- dent council sponsored the 26fStudent Life week. On Monday students wore Hawaiian shirts and long shorts. Tuesday was the time to honor the college of your choice by wearing a col- lege t-shirt. On Wednesday, students took it easy and wore their sweat suits. Since it was Nerd day, Thursday brought out the nerd in ev- eryone. Finally Friday brought the week to a close with Black and Gold day. Students are able to show their school spirit by partici- pating in the game and the week long activitiesfl ex- plained senior sponsor Laura Barden. Driving for their first score of the game, juniors Lisa Roberts and An- gie McGee protect quarterback Amy Hall from their senior opponents.
