PIE EATING CONTEST theme. This year the class themes were M A S H” for the Seniors, “Greek Roman Togas” for the Juniors, Sesame Street” for the Sophomores, and “Hawaii” for the Freshmen. The halls were supposed to be judged on Friday morning by a faculty panel with points being awarded for creativity, theme, neatness, artwork, and school spirit. However, due to Hurricane Gloria, school was closed, and activities were postponed to the following Thursday and Friday. Students arrived in school wearing such unlikely ap- parel as togas and Hawaiian print shirts as they tried to rack up more points for their class on Thursday. On the last day of Spirit Week, students had the final opportunities to win more points for their classes by wear- ing red and white. East’s school colors. The culmination of events occurred during the annual, fall sports pep rally. The winning class was determined after the last event in which each class, with the aid of a rope the entire length of the gymnasium and accom- panying music, tried to get as many people to jump rope simultaneously. The Juniors were victorious with the Seniors, Sophomores, and Freshmen following in that order. With enthusiasm raised to a peak, students appro- priately capped off Spirit Week by attending the Spirit Week Dance in the Gym. A unique initiation to school activities for the Freshmen and a revival of interest for the upperclassmen, Spirit Week is a wonderful and special event for all who get involved. TUG - OF - WAR 188

Powder Puff Fbotbal . It was mid afternoon. October 20th. 1985. and the players stood opposite each other, the autumn breeze stinging their faces. Their eyes were set in determined glares, their muscles tensed, and their jaws were clenched in restrained fury. No, the scene does not describe the Superbowl, it refers to this year’s Powder Puff football game. Powder Puff is a competition between the senior and junior classes’ most menacing football players (females, of course). The game is held at East's football field, with male cheerleaders encouraging their teams to victory. The hard working coaches are male members of the senior and junior classes. The players, clad in T- shirts with fitting nicknames such as “Iron Fists” and “Bruiser” printed on their backs, take the com- petition seriously. The senior girls, though fearing defeat, kept their nj5j K: J morale high and practiced with vigor, as the 11th Jr a grade team, confident of their win. practiced dili- j gently. After weeks of training, that fateful Sun- I - 4 day arrived, and the junior team went on to • victory with a score of 14-6. Both teams, winners and losers, deserve a round of applause, and who knows, maybe the Football Hall of Fame has a few- empty spots.
