HUMECGMI SPIRIT SHINES THROUGH V r- Q if JL.. M' 16 HOMECOMING WEEK AND SPIRIT G!! ancing through the Decades was the theme for Homecoming 1985. Spirit week set the mood for Fri- day's game. From dressing up to finding out who was King and Queen - the week was filled with fun and festivities. f Starting off the week: Monday was Western day. Tuesday was 50's day when we were all reminded of the past episodes of Happy Days. Wednesday was 60's day where the Brady Bunch was brought back to life. Thursday was Hawaiian day, everyone all of a sudden became tourists and dressed Beachy and then went to a Luau! Friday was SPIRIT day and all the students dressed up in School Colors. And to add to the mood, the school was decorated with balloons and streamers, and writing on the sidewalks. All in all, spirit week was a success. The game was won, the Colts spirit was high, and the Alumni enjoyed returning to find that our school spirit was even better. C.H. S. is looking pretty Hot! I haven't had that much fun in a long time. said Kris Ken- nedy, 1984 Homecoming Queen.
