Spirit Week offers fun for all Spirit Week was full of activities and built up excitement. It also left good memories of a fun week. There were many different ac- tivities included in Spirit Week. Among the activities were dress up days. Each day held a different theme for the students and faculty to dress in various styles of clothing. The themes were Cowboy Day, Tacky Tuesday, Baby Day, Blue 81 White Day and the week ending with 50's Day on Friday. Many people par- ticipated in these days which helped to make an exciting week. Along with the dress up days, another activity was the Homecom- ing bonfire. This event was held on the front lawn with the Spirit Club -5 tml 'SCARF XD! Cabinet, pep band, cheerleaders and pom pon girls there to build en- thusiasm among the crowd. The grand finale was Coach Porter toss- ing a fake grizzly into the fire, signal- ing the burning of the Northwest Grizzlies. All of the activities in the week helped to build excitement for the Homecoming game, in which we defeated Northwest 34-0, and also for the dance held on Saturday night in the gym. Bill Himebaugh, athletic director and Spirit Club sponsor, said that he felt the week was absolutely Super. So as Spirit Week ended, the thoughts were good and new spirit was created. vii Senior Debbie Barnum and junior Carla Weathersby kid around in Yearbook Class On BHDY DBY- Senior Mike McBride competes in the cow chip toss on Cowboy Day during Spirit Week.

Homecoming is full of activity Fall Homecoming was a festivity of fun and excitement. Students anx- iously took part in the activities of Spirit Week, the float competition and the election of Homecoming King and Queen. The Homecoming game was held on Thursday night again this year, but that didn't stop the people from atten- ding. The honk parade going to the game included over 90 cars. Noise of the horns was heard throughout a good portion of the city. The parade of cars was met about five blocks away from South High's stadium by the band, pom pon team, flag team and cheerleaders. Peach Patterson was crowned as the Fall Homecoming Queen during halftime of the football game. Con- cluding the week of fun and festivity was the crowning of the King, Brian Mumford. He was crowned at the Homecom- ing dance on Saturday night. The theme ot the dance was The Rose, and entertainment was provided by Mike McBride of WESR.
