r Student Life . . . Some of us dressed up like Grecian gods wrapped in flowing sheets and crowned with a halo of leaves on toga day” to express our school pride during Spirit Week. Others of us strutted our stuff all the way to the stage where we received the Senior Superlative award for Best Dancer during the senior assembly. Then again, another group of us stood shakily on the risers in our high heels and formal gowns dripping with ribbons and lace trying to force back the tears as we sang Old Irish Blessing for our last time at the Spring Concert. No matter what we did. we never heeded to act well our part whether we gained recognition for a job well done, or forced ourselves to regain our composure after putting our foot in our mouth, we never stopped striving to be the best we could be. Everyone played a different role in generating school spirit. Some students chose to literally ham it up in the spotlight by becoming involved in the fall play, while others found satisfaction in temporarily getting hitched with their true love at the Sadie Hawkins dance. Despite how we chose to express ourselves, we found what we did best, and did our best with it! 6 Student Life

s PIRIT ON THE RON fueled by a competition craze, wild garb, and rowdiness W ow! Look at that kid! What a nerd! Boy, I wish I had a chess set like he's got. And those plaid pants! I wonder who coor dinates his wardrobe. Was style going down the drain at F.H.S.? No. spirit was on the move as students showed their spirit any way they saw fit. On Monday, some satisfied their urge by wearing unmatched socks, while others wore their mother's old glasses with black frames and tape in the middle, as they became nerds for the day. Spirit bubbled over onto Tuesday and Wednesday with button and Bandana Day. and Inside Out Day. while Wednesday was also a time for the seniors to show their spirit by wearing togas and shades. On Thursday, many students had double vision while experiencing the sights of Twin Day. And of course. Friday was saved for the traditional school color day. During this action-packed week there were daily events during lunch for class competition. Activities included the wheel barrow race, three legged race, tape race. and the pieeating contest, most of which the seniors took charge and won. Following school on Friday there was a tough battle of powderpuff football be- tween the junior and senior girl gridders who were cheered on by junior and senior cheerleaders of the male persuasion. The juniors definitely gave it all they had. but the seniors were again victorious with a close score of 13-6. If it seemed like seniors won everything, freshmen put that myth to rest by break ing the tradition of Seniors Rule.” They won first place in the Hall Decorating Con- test with The Twilight Zone theme. The main reason for Spirit Week was to get everyone rowdy, right? There was a pep rally on Friday that did the trick. It was a lot of fun watching everybody get rowdy. I love to cheer on the teams! stated sophomore Brenda Herr. Spirit Week was a positive way for all the student body to be wild-n-crazy while also feeling a sense of pride and joy for our school. V ?
