Absolute Revelry Spirit Week Have you ever had a day when you've really felt like letting your hair down or painting it blue or just plain being your punk-rockin' self ? Spirit Week meant different things to different people. I think Spirit Week is a nice change; it gives us a chance to break away from our everyday routine, said freshman Michelle Rhodes. Although breaking away from our everyday routine was part of Spirit Week, unity played another major part. I like Spirit Week because everyone joins in and wants to participate, commented another student. During the week, many activities took place: sweatsuit day, limbo contest, punk-rock day, banana-eating contest, twin-clown day, maroon and white day, and the annual tug-of-war. The seniors, victorious in the week's activities with 965 points were closely followed by the juniors with sophomores and freshman finishing third and fourth, having 424 and 420 points, respectively. Constructing floats made Homecoming unique. Capturing first place honors was the junior class with Small Town Spirit, Big City Pride .
