Dress-Up Days Wake up a little late? - Senior Sherri Roberts continues the tradition Whether it's Halloween or Spirit Week, students jump at the chance to of Senior girls dressing up in their P.J.'s during Homecoming Week. You thought it was go- ing to be just an ordinary day until you observe a hugh yellow banana, a clown, a gorilla, a boy dressed as a Girl Scout, and Prehistoric man casually walking to their first period class. What is going on? You finally figure out that it is another wierd dress up day. Throughout the year, many days are scheduled for students to attend school in styles that deviate from the norm. lnitiations are quite popular with the sports and activities, simply because upperclass men love to harass the incom- ing members and do what was done to them. The initiotee is dressed in a strange costume usually with a sign inviting class members to ask the vic- tim to perform outlandish versions of their specialty skill. While sitting in class, a new swimmer may be unexpectedly requested to demonstrate one or all of the four strokes in front of the class. Or a choir member could be asked to sing a rendition of l'm a Little Teapot to an amused B lunch crowd. Caught up in the swing of Homecoming, students are seen in extraordinary dress throughout the whole week. One day might be designated for college sweats, while the next day students may attend in high-water trousers and harnrimmed glasses. One particular dress up day begins when most students are unconscious- ly dreading the alarm clock to sound. The Keywanettes kidnap a football player from their homes and dress him up any way they want. lt does take a while to get used to seeing a large l 1-tzlniv' 41 qui noiqciq lt's gonna be a great day - After their nourishing breakfast of low- sugar cheerio's and Flinstones Vitamins, seniors Cinnamon Nather andjunior Glenn Laughlin feel confident their day will be neat. 26 I Y W xxx 55 ' 7 ' football player dressed as S :Mil M V a baby with a bonnet. 4 Most people forget ' A.
