Exhibits, Kissing Booths, Clowns, Food ... Intent is the look on Jerry Johnson as he surveys the mer chandise of one of the clubs Each year, the beginning of school heralded an annual event called Club Day. Much preparation went into the event set aside from sophomore and other students to become associated and familiarized with the clubs and extra-curricular activities available at Bradley Central. The Student Council traditionally took over the supervision of the activities. They carefully assigned each club a position and an alotment of space in the gymnasium in which to set up its display. They put a lot of work into the organiza- tion and pending details of the event. Much of the success of the “day had to be credited to the Student Council’s ground work. Nearly all of the clubs and organizations par- ticipated. They set up stands and booths to advertise, sell goods, and publicize their club. First and second place awards were given to the club with the best displays. The Health Oc- cupations Club won first place, and the Aerospace Club captured second. Aside from being informative, Club Day was a carnival bizarre. There were kissing booths, clowns, baked goods for sale, and even a pair of human blooddrops” — health occupation students dressed up to suit. You could have your blood pressure checked, your picture taken, or you could purchase balloons and poems. Club Day transformed the gymnasium into a flood of color and spectacular sights. Students were allowed to attend the festivities during their study halls and lunch periods. They could not, however, get out of regular class. This certainly displeased many students. Traditionally held on the main floor, the 83-84 events took place on both of the upper gyms because the main floor had a fresh, newly-laid covering. This meant one had to climb the out- side stairs to see one half of the booths, then descend, walk around to the other side and climb more flights of stairs to see the other booths. This was mildly inconvenient, par- ticular as it was sprinkling that day. All in all, the exhibits were informative and fun, and the split locations gave everyone a chance for a little extra exercise out in the cool, soft drizzle. Club Day — Student Life 11

In a hub bub of activity, Student Council members prepare spirit chains for exhibition at a pep raly. We've Got the Spirit. All for Bradley, Stand Up and Holler. “All for Bradley, stand up and holler!” It was a familiar cry during the five days recognized as Spirit Week. Devoted to raising morale and spirit, each day was scheduled full of activities. Monday was warm up day, a time of organization and reminders of things to come. On Tuesday, all Bradley students decked out in sweat clothes and yelled Beat Cleveland to every varsity football cheerleader they saw. The cheerleaders would write down their names, and the people who had yelled Beat Cleveland” the most at the end of the day won free tickets to the Bradley-Cleveland game. Wednesday everyone dragged out the largest, most unusual tennis shoes they could find from the bottom of his closet, and wore them to class. During breaks between classes everyone shouted Stomp Cleveland” as they waddled along in their overgrown footwear. A prize donated by the Bachelorettes was given to the Big-Foot” with the largest pair of shoes. Thursday was the infamous Cleveland Grub day, when everyone donned his sloppiest red, white, and blue garments and paraphernalia, in an effort to look his tackiest. There was a varie- ty of unique interpretations of the Cleveland Bum.” Raider football and baseball players, cheerleaders, and slobs crowded the halls in an array of gawdy Cleveland outfits. Also on Thurs- day, a Bradley bonfire was held at 6:30 on the campus. The turnout was good, although the weatherman was not entirely cooperative. Friday was the grande finale, Black and Gold Day. Every garb made its appearance, so long as it was printed in black or gold. Jackets, socks, bandanas, mufflers, pins and pompoms all made the scene. At the pep rally there was a sea of black and gold. Screams and hollers, cheers and whistles could be heard as everyone fired up for the upcoming showdown between Bradley and Cleveland. Finally the big game arrived. It was an event everyone enjoyed for it was the return of a long standing contest between two cross-town rivals. The fervor of spirit week had never been more intense, but when the following Monday arrived, it was business as usual. Spirit Week was gone, but the Spirit remained. Step to My Lou, My Darting!
