1Cram Sam' Cram Sam Week was the spirited days preceding Arling- ton's game against cross-town rival Sam Houston. Formerly Spirit Week, Cram Sam Week came into being as a tradition of its own. AHS goes to all extremes to Cram SHHS. At the beginning of the week students painted their cars with slogans. AHS Student Council made a wager with SHHS Stu- dent Council with the losers having to sing the winner's fight song in front of the victor's stu- dent body. Another bet was made between the journalism departments of the two schools with a pizza for the winner. On Friday a jubilant pep rally was held on the football field. Senior girls performed a skit demonstrating the outcome of the game. On Friday evening a car cara- van left AHS for Cravens Field with the best decorated car winning a cash prize from the student council. It was a tight game, but the spirit paid off for AHS with a victorious win of 7- 0. (A) Jon Thompson and Cary Harnist ride in the car caravan to the Sam game.
