mAci'Ii'iLziiie With the otrivol of toll, there could be mony chonges noticed. All of o sudden, tests ond prqects ond homework in school storted to pile up together. This just meont thot school wos in full swing ond the teoch- ers were in mid-seoson form, Other things, like the beginning of the sports seoson, ond the porties ot Quincy ond the opening of the foil ploy oll pointed to the coming of toll. And then, o little loter into foil you reolized thot you hod to bundle up to tolerote going to the gomes, ond the outdoor porties ei- ther hod o rooring bonfire or they were moved indoors, And when you were cruisf ing oround looking for something to do, you reolly wished thot your cor heoter worked. The chonge in weother wosn't oil bod, however, os it meont the opening of mony oreo ski resorts. Some opened os eorly os October 31 ond mony hoppy skiers got to go owoy for o weekend of bliss. For every- body who hod been weoring their powder jockets in school, now wos the chonce to get some procticol use out of them. As Sr. Kori Tinsley put it, I like to ski becouse it is invigoroting ond you meet olot of people up there. For those of us who liked to stoy home insteod of going out, there wos ol- woys the new TV seoson. lnsteod of begin- ning in lote summer os usuol, the foil seoson wos deloyed until eorly toll ogoin this yeor becouse of the directors' strike. When the seoson finolly begon, we found out whose body wos flooring in the Ewing's pool or how the rriol of Bloke Corrington wos pro- gessing. Some of the better television shows this yeor were M A 'Si'H ond Hill Street Blues. 16 Foll Mogozine

OLY PRIDE IS SI-ICJWING Spirit Week 1981 proved once ogoin thot the Olys were proud to show their true colors, This wos the first time during the new school yeor when Gotewoy students got o chonce to show their school spirit ond fierce sense of competition os they reodied them- selves for the Homecoming Gome. From doy One, everyone worked hord to de- fend their titlei they were tough, they were rowdy, they were Olympions. Keeping up with the times ond trends, punk rockers showed us their 'new wove of spirit this yeor, by conforming to the unwritten rules set by such bonds os Devo, Blondie, The Cots, dnd the Pretenders. Gotewoy punk rockers lose their inhibitions on Punk Rock Doy ds they come dressed in everything from gorboge bogs to skintight leother ponts. Although no one went so for ds to octuol- ly ride o horse to school, Western Doy wos full of cowboy tdlk, grub, ond chewin' toe bocco. The fomous Colorodo cowboy hot, Levi's jedns, ond ploid, Western shirts filled the holls, dlong with swinging skirts ond cowboy boots. Opposite Doy gove us oll o chonce to show the Mother side of ourselves. With the help of some moke-up ond girl's clothes, the mole student body become the femole 18 Spirit Week 'S student body. The girls come in the uniforms of ormy privotes, Boy Scouts, business men, ond of course, footboll ployers. Trdveling bock in time, students come to their closses in the clothes worn by their porents when they were our oge. 50's ond 60's Doy let us see whot life wds like for our moms ond dods in high school, Poodle skirts, ponytdils, ond sdddleshoes with bobbie socks were seen on compus. Also worn by the guys were white T-shirts ond gredsed block hoir. The oge of the flower child wos remembered os Gotewoy teenogers cdme clod in jedns, bore feet, beods, ond flowers. The fovorite ottire of the oncient Greek worriors wos the togo. ln celebrotion of the customs of our oncestors, the Olys hod Togo Doy. As Mr. Horrison put it, Togo Doy seemed to be the doy when the students were the most spirited, ln oddition to the usuol white togos, we sow gold, ordnge, striped, flowered, ond even Mickey Mouse togos thot doy. While getting the togo on, there weren't very mony problems. lt wos not without its complications, though. A few of the less fortunote ones hddn't mostered the ort of keeping the togo on the body. Spirit Week 1981 wos 0 time of closeness for everyone. We oll showed we were proud to be Olympions.
