Spirit Week Show-Offs Spirit week 1987 was begun Monday, October 12, with ex- citement. Students kept the momen- tum until the finale on Friday. College Sweatshirt Day began the week, fol- lowed by Twin Day, Tourist Day, Fif- ties and Sixties Day, and Red and White Day. The most spirited stu- dents of Biloxi High dressed for each day. Awards were given for the best costumes. College Sweatshirt Day was won by the sophomores and juniors; Twin Day, by Kelly McCarthy and Melody Miller, Shavonne Os- borne and Yolunda Osborne, Ann Leger and Shawn Houck, Mercie Gautier and Lisa Shore, and Kenny Kuhn and Matt Langlinais; Tourist Day, by Tory Fonte, Sandra Stovall, Curtis Raley, and Pat Marginis; and Fifties and Sixties Day, by Sharonda Williams, Vikki Masters, Helen Sirmon, and Angel Ponder. Most of these same students spent their af- ter-school hours helping to build their class's display. Club members were also busy building floats for the homecoming parade. After school Thursday, the home- coming parade, made up of the maids and club floats, rolled down the streets of downtown Biloxi. The Back Bay Gang was given the award for best float. Continuing a tradition, students came onto campus Thurs- day night to decorate the school. Each class decorated a different hall, and the decorations continued into the courtyard. By 11:00 p.m. Biloxi High was ready for Homecoming Day.

Catching the Spirit Friday morning students ar- rived at a black, red, and white school. Streamers hung from the ceiling, and banners proclaiming messages, such as, Do Not Be Fooled. Sopho- mores Rule, and Seniors Are Coolness. Class displays and toilet paper filled the courtyard. The Homecoming theme, Back in the High Life,” was chosen by the Student Council to signify the football team’s recovery af- ter two no-win seasons. The theme was clearly felt as one walked around the Biloxi High campus. Students crowded into the Biloxi High courtyard as final touches were added to the class displays. At the pep rally, it was an- nounced that the sophomores won the best hall decorations, and the juniors won the best display. Feeling an injustice was paid them, the seniors sat down in unison. The pep rally featured a symbolic defeat of a panther. The Mock Homecoming court was introduced. Winning by au- dience applause, Paul Pitalo, es- corted by Claudia Cross, reigned as Mock Homecoming Queen. By the end of the rally, spirits were high. Students left school with grand hopes of a Homecoming victory.
