Throughout the week students express their Spirit of the Tornadoes by Barbara Sloan A week with no dull mo- ments . . . Spirit Week. Homecoming brought back the past as well as the con- tinuation of a Tornado tradition. The theme, ‘Come to a War- hawk roast in our Polynesian paradise’, was picked by the Stu- dent Government Association (SGA). SGA also planned the events for each day, organized Tornado Tales, made the Luau and the parade before the game possible, and sponsored the dance after the game. Coats, ties, dresses, heels, and loafers summerized Monday, which was Sophistication Day. “I enjoy having a break from the usual everyday look. 1 think it is neat to have dress up days every once in a while,” commented Lisa Lambert when talking to her friends about the day. On Tues- day, students were a little more relaxed when they dressed up for Clash Day. Clash can most com- monly be defined as stripes with poka-dots or plaids, or two colors that greatly contrast with each other. Bright flowered shirts and straw skirts dotting the halls meant it was Hawaiian Day. This day was designated to incorporate the theme into the week. “Hawai- ian day was great! But all of my good ideas were stolen!” Ex- claimed David Dinger, an avid participator in Homecoming. Thursday was Spirit Day, which meant wearing red and grey to in- dividuals and hall decoratingcon- tests to clubs. These activities were done on Thursday because Friday was an in-service day. When the majority of the students arrived on campus, the halls had already been decorated or, in some cases, were still being deco- rated by the clubs who participat- ed. Latin Club placed first, the Ju- nior Class placed second, and the Cross Country team placed third. The week was full of activities with still more to come. But most of all, during the entire week “the spirit of the student body was great!”, as John Hoopes enthusias- tically observed, f Spirit Week 2 3 During a break from class, Donny Hendry learns to tie ties the way Ali Golden fa rb has learned, while Paul Laursen and Becky Sublette discuss their wardrobe.

Clubs spent many hours preparing to tell the c ta Tales of the Tornadoes by Barbara Sloan M eeting after meeting, practice after practice — all for one traditional event, Tornado Tales. Mrs. Smith stated during Tornado Tales that every year for as long as she has known, Tornado Tales has been a part of Homecomingand they per- formed the night before the game. Tornado Tales gave clubs a chance to express their feelings about the next night’s opponent, the Seminole Warhawks, and to build school spirit while incorpo- rating the Hawaiian theme of Homecoming. With their “Para- dise Lounge” skit, Interact took first place at Tornado Tales for the second year in a row. The Cheer- leaders and headliners tied for second place and the Torna- doettes received third place. “Many of the club members spent a lot of time and energy on the skits, hoping that they would win. I’m glad they did win and I hope that Interact winning Tornado Tales is a tradition that lasts for a long time,” stated John Thomas, Interact president. The skits finally over, the crowd anxiously awaited the announce- ment of the Homecoming court and became suddenly quiet. The semi-finalists were nervous, hop- ing their name would be called so they could represent their grade on the 1984 Homecoming Court. The names were finally an- nounced by Arthur Rubin, SGA president, starting with freshman Michelle Whitty, sophomores Madre Baber and Debbie Roach, juniors Kim Fry, Jamie Jelup, Tina Martin, and Deserie Valloreo. The list of finalists ended with the an- nouncement of the senior court. Stomachs grew tense, hands clinched tighter as the senior court was announced — Carrie Barber, Susan Honey, Roxanne Kane, Lisa Keech, Ashley Strauss, and Lisa Tillery. The queen, however would not be announced until half-time of the game the next night. Tornado Tales provided a time for students to show their school spirit. Tornado Tales also added to the climax of the football sea- son. y After receiving her congratulatory hand- shake and rose from Mr. Williamson, freshman representative Michelle Whitty and escort Sean Frisby await the an- nouncement of the rest of the court. 24 Tornado Tales
