Spirit Spells Going into homecoming with the football team at a 6-0 record set the atmosphere for a good turn out for spirit week. The Pep Club, which sponsors spirit week, set up a contest be- tween classes much like the home- coming float contest. Students dressed up according to the announ- cements and posters in the halls. It is the time of the year in which students and teachers alike can dress up weird, act crazy, and have lots and lots of fun. Spirit days consisted of: Mon- day-crazy sox, t-shirt and hat day. Tuesday—security and pajama day. Wednesday--cowboy and Indian day. Thursday--punk rock day. Friday-blue and gold and button day. During the annual homecoming pep assembly Miss Lisa Anderson, adviser of the Pep Club, announced that the senior class had won the spirit week contest. Junior class was in second place followed by the sophomores and last place to the Freshmen class. Mrs. Jan Thomas was awarded a carnation for dressing up every day. There was a remarkable improve- ment from the last few years, on both the parts of students and teachers alike. It seemed that when the week came to dress up al- most everyone participated to show their school spirit. We hope the enthusiasm continues for a lone time!

Record Breaking Crowd Despite the cold and windy wea- ther and inadequate seating, nearly five thousand people attended the homecoming game Friday, October 23 against Frankenmuth. Homecoming festivities began with a dedication of Another One Bites the Dust over the intercom from the cheerleaders to the var- sity football players just prior to the pep assembly. The large number of students attending the pep assembly prompted the cheerleaders to pull out two more sections of bleachers, an in- frequent occurrence at assemblies. The cheerleaders and pom pon girls performed routines to the school song to begin the program. After the crowd settled down, the new athletic director and coach, Frank Holes, gave a pep talk. The pom pon squad then performed a routine to Tough Guys . Miss Lisa Anderson, Pep Club advisor, announ- ced the Senior class had won the spirit week contest and Mrs. Jan Thomas was awarded a carnation for showing her school spirit by dres- sing up every day of the week. Run Around Sue was a special treat played by the Pep Band, while many students joined in by doing the twist on the floor of the gym- nasium. The Junior class was vic- torious in the spirit contest. Ending the assembly, the cheer- leaders and pom pon squads per- formed a routine to the school song. Evening festivities kicked off with the traditional homecoming parade, organized by the Student Council. Parade Marshall was Steve Januszewski. Participants not only included homecoming court, class floats, band the traditional entries, but National Honor Society also dressed as clowns and dis- tributed balloons.
