What a relief; these cards were 'spirit cards. Dur- ing the week students were en- couraged to participate in school activities. For every ex- tracurricular activity the stu- dent attended, the card was stamped. Every activity was worth 5 or 10 points on the cards. After attending 30 points worth the student was eligible for a continental breakfast, and if the spirited student accumu- lated 40 points he also received a ticket to the MORP dance. Like the blue spirit cards, Hat and Glasses Day proved a big success. The students knowing it would be the only day to legally wear hats and sunglasses in the school came in multitudes. On I Wanna Be Day students came dressed as prospective futures: cowboys, nuns, nerds, and pregnant Spirited students with a total of 30 points were rewarded with a continen tal breakfast at the end of Spirit Week. Sweetrolls and juice were served to 480 hungry students. women. A free show was given by Steve Barney who showed the studentbody the true mean- ing of the word cowboy by giv- ing a superb roping demonstra tion. Spirit week was a mix of ath- letic wins and losses.
