Punkers and Hoods, Hawaiians and Sleepyheads, Kings and Queens All Held Court Monday, October 19. Mondays are supposed to be times of general tiredness and disorga¬ nization, but this was ridiculous. Students were in the halls with tousled hair, bleary eyes, and — pajamas. (At least that’s how it would have seemed to any visitor. Actually it was the first day of Spirit Week; Pajama Day, a fitting theme for a Monday when getting out of bed and dressing for school seemed to be impossible. But that was just the beginning of Spirit Week activi¬ ties. There was a whole week of activities planned by the SCA. After a slight mix- up, when it was real¬ ized that Punk Rock Day and underclass pictures wouldn’t mix too well, Dress-Up day followed pajama day in Punk Rock Day’s place, and prom dresses and ties abounded. Hawaiian Fifties day came next; the stu¬ dents were almost and even split between flo¬ ral prints and leather with greased hair. The last two days were probably the most pop¬ ular. Punk Rock Ban- dana Day was held on Thursday, and the tra¬ ditional Blue and Gold Day came on Home¬ coming Day. A IN THE SHADE. Jennifer Gholson takes advantage of Pa¬ jama Shades day to have a little fun, wearing outsized shades that were sure to draw a few laughs while doing their part for Spirit Week. A VERY DEFINITE HIGH SPIR¬ ITS. Howard Handorf seems to have gotten just a bit carried away on Punk Rock Bandana Day, becoming one of the most dressed people of the day. 8

All Held Court Punk day was worth a few giggles as students who hadn’t dressed for the day found themselves be¬ ing counted anyway for homeroom com¬ petition, and Blue and Gold day got al¬ most everyone into the spirit act. At last, the Home¬ coming game came. After a delay, the pa¬ rade wound its way through the streets and entered the sta¬ dium, kicking off the game. The team con¬ tinued in the spirit of things and won the game 21-8 over the Cavaliers. Heather Owens and Gabe Jenkins won the Homecom¬ ing King and Queen positions in the high- spirited halftime pa¬ rade, ruling over the rest of their worthy court. Gabe made CCHS history by be¬ ing elected the first Homecoming King to be chosen. After the game, the dance tied up Home¬ coming week and put an end to the good- natured madness un¬ til next year.
