Traditions saw another change with the addition of a Winter Spirit Week. Due to the fact that the student body was not well informed, the week started slow. But as people found out, the days ended up being a lot of fun. Included in the regular activities was the Slave Sale and the addition of Mr. Muskrat. The slaves performed the traditional antics on slave day, while a packed house watched Tom Marchin crowned Mr. Muskrat. Opinions were mixed about the new addition. Scott Boyle liked the idea: “People should give more support to the school. However, Shawn Gough felt that “spirit week should be only for football season.” Many others felt it was a good break as the winter began. “It breaks up a boring part of the school year.” (Beth Sylvester) Most importantly, it rekindled school spirit. “We needed a spirit builder. No one was happy with the first one.” (Cathy Cross) 18 .
