Competitions INSpIre A Spiritual Start As summer ended, the varsity cheerleaders worked diligently to- wards Spirit Week. Led by captain LeeAnn Sease and co-captain Marie Walker, the cheerleaders came up with some terrific ideas. To help students express spirit, the cheerleaders declared Double Day, Spirit Day, Backwards Day, Victory No Sweat Day, and Spirit Day. The week concluded with a pep rally, which gave a build-up for the football team against Rustburg’s Devils. At the end of the pep rally, the spirit stick was awarded straight to the top of the ladder to the mighty seniors. Also awarded was the spirit week football, which went to the seventh graders. They earned this by having the most participation in the various spirit week activities. “Fire it up!!”, shouts Mrs. Myra Frazier as she leads the seniors in the spirit contest. Mrs. Frazier is joined by Mrs. Aurora Tolley in a surprise tactic to enhance class spirit. 24 Spirit Week As a surprise to the students, the cheerleaders had picked a teacher to lead each class in their spirit chant. Mrs. Myra Frazier led the seniors; Mrs. Aurora Tolley, the juniors; Mr. Tom Fielder, the sophomores; and Mrs. Virginia Clarke, the freshman. Middle schoolers were led by Miss Deborah Mason, eighth grade, and Mrs. Helen Goldsmith, seventh grade. When asked her impression, Wendy Rolfe commented, “Other than a chance to wear my funky shoes, | think Spirit Week was a great start for the school year.” — Jason Porter and Vanessa Boley A gift sent from heaven, LeeAnn Sease and Tami Myers brought their celestial bodies down to earth to indulge their creativity for Double Day. As cheerleaders, they were re- quired to dress up during Spirit Week. Switzer

Now that it has been established that styles change and why, there is another obstacle to overcome. Deci- sions. There are an infinite amount of decisions to make. A few of the deci- sions agonized over included: choos- ing between cutting one’s hair short or leaving it long, wearing standard blue jeans or the latest acid washed ones, and going to the mall or cr uis- ing town. No matter what decision a person made, he or she hoped it would be the right one. It may not have been the right one for Mom and Dad, one’s friends, the student body, or even the whole world, but it was al- ways right for the individual. — Wendy Rolfe and Rhonda Chism Fancy feet.
