While walking down the halls during Sophomore Week, there was an air of enthusiasm and competition evident throughout. Sophomores . . . The sophomores did a wonderful job, even without an established class treasury. The 74's theme for the Cuyohoga Falls game was One Way Our Way. A car caravan was organized for the adults, with Aviator Backer buses joining the caravan after, they then proceeded to the game. Decorations were mainly concentrated on the first floor around the main entrance. The decora- tions included big airplanes suspended from the ceiling, streamers made of crepe paper, balloons, and a dummy secured above the trophy case. Paper hearts reading Love Those Avia- tors were seen throughout the halls. To cover expenses for decorations, a bake sale was organized. This helped provide funds for Spirit Week. The sophomores really involved their class members, it was a combined effort. Every student was encouraged to participate in some phase of decoration. Juniors . The juniors' theme for the Warren Haring Pan- ther game was 73 is the Key to Success. On the night before the game some of the more devilish juniors got together and had a car cara- van. They presented the team with a cake saying Good Luck Aviators, from the Class of 73. Decorations were seen throughout the halls, concentrated mainly on the first floor entrance. The decorations included balloons, smile buttons, and the GE sign on State Street that read, Go Aviatorsf' On the lawn in front of the school was a float constructed by the juniors, which displayed a panther in a cage. As a special touch, the junior girls each wore mums to represent their class the day of the game. A mum was presented to Mrs. Nara and a boutonniere to Mr. Nara. The steering Committee for the junior spirit week were the class officers: Grant Cully, Dan Contrucci, Christi Barret and Carol Hampu. r 25
