Spirit Week was topped off by the Hobo Day Parade Spirit Week was a time for students and faculty to show their enthusiasm and school spirit through many activities. This year, the seniors swept over the main course of events. For the second year in a row, the Class of ’84 captured first place in both the tug-of-war and float competitions. The winners of the pretty baby and cake decorating contests, as well as the arm-wrestUng competition, were also members of the senior class. Winners of all contests, including student and staff dress-up and car decorating, were all recognized at the Hobo Day assembly, where the crowning of Miss Maroon also took place. The many contests and competitions that took place during the week built up the excitement that led to the annual parade and football game against the East Side Flyers. 5. 10 Hobo Day Parade
