Honor programs involve competition In order to survive in this world humans must compete. Competition is an aspect of behavior common to all. It is encountered in everyday life, even everyday student life. Commonly competition is associated with winning or losing. However, competition is also experienced when applying for a position on an honors program. Excellence in the athletic field is awarded with a letter and membership in the Varsity Club. The organization is composed of athletes who display superior ability. The Bowling Club is also an organization which awards its members with a letter. Only after 1,000 points of avid bowling, the student may receive the symbol of recognition. Not only are honors presented to the sportsman, but also to the intellectual. Portraying talent in leadership and interest in government enables students to run for Student Council and compete for Girl’s and Boy’s State delegates. Traditionally two boys and two girls are chosen to travel down state to observe political affairs. To acknowledge a larger portion of the academically successful students the National Honor Society was created. Not only grades, but also character, leadership, and service are considered for acceptance. If a student excels in journalism after one year he may be considered for membership in Quill and Scroll. An upper third class ranking and approval of present members is also required. Obviously the clubs serve as honorary status but they also prepare students for the real world. They symbolize a future of competition.

• I • ••• HfUMOOWm The Big Event •• •?•••••• • Q A week To all the creative individuals, who endeavor to be different, there is a week in October reserved exclusively for this purpose. A week when weird is in and participation in the activities expressed spirit. Each day signified a unique mode of dress for seniors, juniors, and sophomores. Seniors took first followed by juniors and sophomores of this portion of the spirit competition. Costume day ranged from of weird flashers to punk rockers, and even faculty joined in the fun. Dress up day consisted of dresses and suits contrasting the customary jeans, T-shirts, and tennis shoes. Aside from wearing the designated clothes, students also put an effort in building floats and making banners. Thursday’s routine consisted of judging banners followed by an evening involving the body pass, tug of war, pyramid, yelling contest, homecoming court spirit competition, and the water pass. Seniors captured first with their E.T. float construction. Juniors and sophomores followed with Yoda and the Lockness Monster respectively. The senior victories were halted as sophomores came in first with the banner competition. It started as a week of individual rendition but concluded as a week of evident group spirit. Roll ’em. Seniors Peggy Koopasek, Michele Simac and Jane Gregor race to see who will be the first to roll the egg across the finish line. Pass It on. Putted against the other classes and hoping to gain some points, the juniors pass classmate Chris Yokubaitis in the body pass. 27
