Wild and crazy week culminates with parade Different activities — a re-surge of spirit and a super involved school all describe Spirit Week ’83. With the school transformed on dress up day into doctors, bee boppers, boxers and army personnel, the halls came alive. Then on Saturday, M-29 was lined with en- thusiastic spectators to watch the parade. With another change in tradition, the Pep Rally was Friday night. Following the spirit boosting games, students decorated for the dance and put the last minute touches on their floats. Juniors took the honors as the top float with their realistic tank and jeep following the STRIPES theme. However, Senior spirit prevailed as they took the spirit jug. The charged up student body crowded the cafeteria Saturday evening for the finale — the Homecoming dance. As Diane Soulliere, Student Council President, commented: “The unique events of spirit week were the high points of my final year.” Dr. Charlene Quenneville and intern Karen Beals carry a deceased opponent during the parade as a preview for their float. Mike Booth shows that greasers are cool dudes even during school. General Shelly Kuplerski commands her troops: Diane Sprague, Cary Freel, Bob Sudberry, Kim Stokes, Kelly Hurst, Gail Uhl, Eric Mueller, Frank Malik, Dan Nowicki, Todd Beattie and Don Weaver.

Homecoming Court highlights Winter Wacky Week Icy weather had everyone down in the dumps and then the annual week of craziness, better known as Winter Wacky Wee k took over. The week began with everyone dressing to their favorite college. The Slave Sale, which gives everyone a chance to get out of class and purchase their favorite Varsity Club member was another big hit. Slaves could be seen carrying books, wheeling their masters down the hall, or even giving piggy back rides. Their costumes ranged from bathing beauties and cupids all the way to housewives, wrestlers and outfits suitable for combat. For the first time, a basketball all male Homecoming court was added. The student body voted and elected Dan Beals as King. During the course of the Slave Sale, a few problems developed with inappropriate costumes. Following the assembly, Mr. Ford spoke to the student body reminding slaves and slave owners of what would be considered proper attire. “The situation was unfortunate. In the future, all groups will need to be aware of proper guidelines prior to any assembly.” (Ms. Broeder) Home Slave! Mike Booth’s slave, Rory Jacobs, follows orders obediently. Matmaid, Tracy Montgomery, enjoys the activities taking place in the lunch room during the slave sale. Bill Adams spent the last year in Australia returning in December. He brought his friendly kangaroo back with him just for the slave sale. Lori Stoll, Matt Mueller, Julie Petrovich, Devin Hinkle, Cyndie Petit, Dan Beals, Chris Castiglioine and Andy Petrovich enjoy the first dance after the King was announced. 20
