SPIRIT WEEK NOT ABOVE—Eerie ghosts, creepy ghouls, fiendish devils, spell-minded witches, gruesome monsters, haunted grave¬ yards, and gangling skeletons possessed the last hall on the left during Sectional “Spirit” Week. RIGHT—Grubby, spot¬ less, multicolored tennis shoes bounced through the halls on Tennis Shoe Day. UP “Spirit’s of 73” was the award M winning idea of Tim Lain that the Senior Class chose to use in deco¬ rating their hall for Spirit Week. Many illustrious figures such as Frankenstein, Charlie the Skeleton, and other gory ghouls provided creepy greetings to passersby. The Seniors worked for a week and a half at Lou Sertich’s house, draw¬ ing and painting the goblins to haunt their spooky corridor. Aside from someone being locked in a coffin, the week was filled with hilarity for all of the participating Seniors. Juniors carried the theme “Bull¬ dog Free Press” throughout their hall. Most of the work was done at Liz McAnary ' s during the week preceding. The hall featured favor¬ ite comic strip characters yelling ■ encouragement to the team, obitu- , aries of the other teams in the Calumet sectional, and a Bulldog crossword puzzle with the answers the names of the players and coaches. Despite disorganization, the Class of 75 had a variety of ideas with which to fill their hall. One poster featured lots of feet with the slogan “Stomp ’Em.” The Sopho¬ mores actually stepped into the paint and stomped all over the paper for the proper effect. Then there was the poster to end all pos¬ ters. Charlie Kauffman traced the behinds of those working and came up with the masterpiece that said “This is the end of our hall.”
