Juniors beat Seniors in spirit week contest The annual Spirit week, a week when almost any- thing goes, was won by the Junior class. Each day 10, 20, 30 or 40 points were given to the classes by a panel of teachers who served as secret judges. The points were awarded for the amount of participation by the students. Punk Rock day, a day some students painted their faces, dyed their hair and wore garbage bags, was easily won by the seniors. Twin day. Crazy day and Prep day, were all won by the Juniors. After a two-year absence the bonfire pep assembly was reinstated. The announcement of Mr. Irresistable and the Su- per Spirit award winners were announced at the bon- fire. Senior Matt Menges was crowned Mr. Irresista- ble by persuading the most girls to talk and give up their hush buttons. He won a giant Hershey Kiss. The super spirit award went to the Junior class with 150 points, followed by the Seniors, 120 points; sopho- mores, 70 points; and Freshmen, 60 points. No points were awarded for Fridays Dress-up day, but it went over well as everybody was back to normal again. Approximately 40 students volunteered to paint Main street merchant’s windows in preparation for the Gathering of the Eagles. Spirit week was very successful and it carried high spirits on into the homecoming game against Kinsley which the Eagles won 45-0. during spirit week. As the week went along, more students got involved with the activities as they saw their friends taking part. Crazy Day was the most successful day of the week, (photo by Ahrens) 8 THREE STOOGES?

10 Bluebird rocks Homecoming ’82 Homecoming this year was just that-a coming home of past gradu- ates, but on a much larger scale than usual. Graduates from as far back as 1914 and as far away as Alaska returned for the “Gathering of Eagles,” a reunion of approxi- mately 1500 former graduates. The festivities started with the crowning ceremony Friday after- noon. Seniors Monte Miller and Sta- cie Brown served as emcees for the ceremony, calming the nerves of the candidates and amusing the au- dience by cracking jokes about each of the candidates. Chosen by the football team, King Jay Ingalls crowned Patty Harrington, who was chosen queen by the student body. To close the ceremony, Senior Darrell Seitz sang the theme song “Up Where We Belong,” and the cheerleaders led the audience in the school before going downtown for a city-wide pep assembly. THE ROYAL COUPLE. Patty Harrington and Jay Ingalls were elected as the 1982-83 queen and king. After the football team defeated Kinsley, students returned to the gym and danced to the music of Blue Bird. Open Arms by Journey was dedicated to the couple.
