The Awakening of Spirit and Pride The enthusiasm of the student body made all the difference in the outcome of 1981's Spirit Festi- val. This year's competition was the closest and most exciting that we have witnessed in years. Even though Spirit Festival was delayed a week due to snow days the stu- dents never lost their spirit and re- mained keyed for the festivities soon to follow. During Friday's as- sembly the classes competed for points in such events as spider crawl, pizza eating, division prob- lem, multiplication problems, name that tune, free throw, basketball bounce, shuffle board, ping pong, couple relay. One new event that proved successful was the peanut butter eating contest. The building of class pyramids proved to be the closest competition, the decision made by the judtes was with in .01 of a second and the Juniors were given the final points to put them one point behind the seniors who were in 1st place. As the points were tallied, the whole student body waited patiently for the final score of this year's Spirit Festival. The freshman took 4th, Sopho- mores came in 3rd and one point away from tieing for 1st were the juniors . . Seniors came in 1st place with a score of 76. The Spirit Festi- val was capped off with a victory Basketball game for M.H.S. against Coldwater. The Freshman class piles student upon stu- dent to build their class pyramid. 26
