One of the main high- lights of Spirit Week was the thrilling parade and bonfire which were both held Wednesday evening, October 21, 1987. Scram- bling to put the finishing touches on their floats, all classes were ecstatic about the night’s great events. As the many floats lined up, they were unveiled to each class. Chills and thrills filled the air as activities got underway. Cheering was heard from the crowd gathered along the route as each of the floats passed by, making its way to Widmyer field for the an- nual bonfire. As everyone reached the field, they rushed to gather around the bonfire, which surpris- ingly was not lit. Most were freezing, but the cold weather did not hinder anyone from joining in the cheers and excitement. While standing on some unlit boards, Coach Bill Clatterbuck gave players and fans a brief pep talk. Finally, Jill Burdette came forward with the list of winners of the parade. Suspense filled the air as she proclaimed the victors of each category. The ath- letic team award went to the Varsity cheerleaders; class prize was awarded to the seniors, and last but not least the grand prize went to the juniors for a creative float. Crys of joy were heard as each award was announced. Spontane- ous cheers echoed throughout the evening in hope of a victory for Fri- day’s big game. As they decorate the junior float . Kelly Swaim.

It is Friday afternoon, time for the last big event before the homecoming football game, — the pep rally. The gym is packed as most every student shows his school spirit by cheer- ing along with the cheer- leaders. The football play- ers then come out onto the floor dressed as cheer- leaders, showing everyone the hidden talents that they possess. The suspense builds as Miss Kacy Kearse and the cheer- leaders ask Mr.Rick Hen- drickson, Mr.Bill Clat- terbuck, Mr.Doug Wilson, Mr.Gene Brock, and Mr.Randy Unger to come forward. The cheerleaders then blindfold the coaches and bring out what seem to be caramel covered apples for an apple eating contest. Little does the audience know what is going to hap- pen next. As the coaches get ready to bite into the apples, signs are held be- hind their heads. The sign that receives the biggest reaction is the sign behind Mr. Hendrickson that says, “ONION”. Needless to say, it does not take him long to realize that he has been tricked. The reaction of the crowd makes this event ONE OF A KIND.
