Hats Off to Spirit Week The Black and Gold’s spirited week was just that. From the Canada Dry ginger ale cans on Bryan Casenhiser’s head to the mouseketeers bonnet on Cheri Lewis’s head, down to the hefty, hefty, hefty — whimpy, whimpy, whimpy grubbers named Mona Ewing and Heather Kennemuth the true fun began. No one could honestly say the beads off the flower children in the 60’s didn’t echo in the Catholic beads that Joan- na Lauck wore for her career day. Whether it be a career in stripes or a career just starting to bud under a bandana with baby pink hair curlers, it’s easy to see why Rene Harrington needs her cup of caffeine for the day. All faces were not our own as we expressed the growls and the sensitiveness of the tigers we represent. Hats and ties, 60’s attire, grub, career or Spirit Day, the hearts of the Black and Gold’s came bursting through to make our week an everlasting fun for all to remember Spirit Week. “It was really fun! It was great being able to dress up, and at the same time it showed spirit for our school,” said Heather O’Dell. When asked whether Spirit week helped improve school spirit, Cecilia Brady replied, “Yes. People who would ordinarily be embarrassed to act crazy let’s them have a reason to be a little wild.” LEFT: Bringing back the Good 01 Days is Mrs. Benfield (an English teacher) modeling her old style hat with a veil.

Pep Talk Yelling, screaming, clapping, cheer- ing. These were some of the sounds that filled the gym during pep rallies. All students, freshmen through seniors, showed spirit for their school, by cheer- ing their teams on to victory. Different organizations throughout the school put on the rallies during the year. The rallies were put on by the senior class officers. “It was hard to get it organized and find things that would get the crowd in- volved, but it was a great feeling to look up and finally see everybody cheering together for their school,” stated class officers Melinda Blank and Terrie Salmon. The rallies designed to invoke en- thusiasm among the student body con- sisted of recognizing athletes and other V.I.P.’s, getting students psyched for big games, and, of course, cheering contests with the annual awarding of the spirit banner to the winning class. The students, all 2156 of them, joined together to end the pep assemblies with the singing of the Alma Mater.
