Barons Show 1 Spirit Everyone likes to get out of class, and pep sessions did just that. They were held to recognize students involved in fall, winter, and spring sports. Extra ses- sions were held to encourage the foot- ball team as they advanced to state. Af- ter clinching the title, an all-day celebration was held, complete with music, dancing, and refreshments. At the winter sports pep session, a “battle of the sexes” took place. Five members of the girls basketball team and five male faculty members had a free-throw contest, with the girls win- ning. To get the students fired up and to give the guys extra support, a pep session was held before the sectional final. The cheerleaders performed a game-show skit, and a hot dog eating contest was held between the four grades and faculty, with the sopho- mores being victorious. Just as pep sessions raised school spirit, so did dress-up days. For “Red, White, Black beat Columbia City’’ day, those with the ten best outfits won gift certificates to Pizza Hut. Basketball sec- tional brought two more days. One was Hawaiian shirt day, and the other was ugly tie day. Most people wore the ug- liest ties and brightest Hawaiian shirts they would find. Even though these days were not very popular with all of the students, those who did dress up showed a lot of school spirit. man, Jim Wilson. wert —— Classes showed their spirit by decorating the walls of the commons during sectional week.

Here we go again! Another day of school. Students hurry through the hall to their lockers and then to their class- rooms so that they aren't late. During second hour the ever popular morning announcements begin with those attention-getting “bongs.” Then we hear Mr. Fites’ voice echoing throughout the school telling of com- ing events. Socializing at the lockers is a big thing in the halls since there is nowhere else to go. But some students make it a habit to take a trip to the assistant prin- cipal’s office. Falling asleep in class is another big thing at school. Teachers relax their students so much that it’s irresistable to lay your head down and catch a few 2’s. But this can also lead to trouble with some teachers. Daydreaming is another event that can lead to trouble. Many students find it hard to pay attention when there are so many other things to think about. When homeroom comes along, stu- dents start to wander. This is wide- spread within the school. Students feel that it’s time to meet up with their friends once again. Every day taking tests is somewhat a routine for many students. These students have various reac- tions while taking a chemistry test. During homeroom there are various things to do. Lisa Forrest, Steve Storms, and Cindy Jarrett choose to relax and enjoy an interesting conver- sation. So How Did Your Day Go? ‘ LI When noon rolls around, that means lunch for the Barons. Some students pack their own lunch while the rest risk their stomachs with the school food. Many students just buy chips instead of eating the nutritious lunches the cafe- teria offers. Sitting in the classroom waiting impa- tiently for the long day to end is very exhausting to many. But when 3:30 rolls around, the students are redy to go. They either go to practice, straight home, or somewhere else like their part-time jobs. Another day of writing reports. Layton John and Natalie Reynolds work hard at making their En- glish report good and complete. (below) 17 TYPICAL DAY
