nes Spirit week Excitement was high this year as homecoming approached. The team had an undefeated record and was on its way to the state playoffs. As the week came nearer, everyone began to realize that homecoming events involved much more than the football team. The student senate began preparations for the dance, sen- iors began work on their last float, and the parade was orga- nized. On Monday of the week of Homecoming, Spirit Week began. Although this was only the third year of the event, it had already become a tradition during the Spartan season. Both students and teachers showed their great support by taking part in the var- ious activities. Day one was christened Sneak Up and Sock It to 'em! . The halls were filled with rolled-up jeans, gauchos, and skirts, revealing dozens of pairs of wild socks and sneakers. Tuesday took the title of Spar- tans Are Tops , and students took advantage of being allowed to wear their hats in class. Wednesday came with A Touch of Class and the young sophisticates appeared in suits, skirts and all their flair. On Thursday everyone swore to Turn the Indians Inside Out , and many Spartans wore their clothes inside out in spite of the discomfort. Closing the week on Friday ev- eryone dug out their Farmer Jones look to prove that Bixby Spartans Are Best Overall l Friday night students and fans crowded the stadium to watch Bryan Tiger crown Sally Gibson. The football team provided a great ending for a spirited week by beating Cleveland 72-13. Student Life! 11

However, the concerns of 1978 took students out of the confines of Bixby and challenged them to be more concerned with the world. No one had to read the Wall Street Jour- nal to know that inflation was going up. It merely took a date to show that money didn't go as 'faras before. Oil embargo? lt affected students atBHS.
