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.

To a person walking by Franklin school it appears as though Griffith is suffering attacks by aliens from space. But, to those who built them, it was only a homecoming event. The evening started off with a monsterous sight. The life-like floats which consisted of E.T., Yoda, and the Lochness Monster were displayed to parade watchers before the game. After the procession ended, half-time activities were awaited with suspense. The football players displayed their ability by defeating Milwaukee Blue Devils. The half-time crowning of Tony Bruno and Peggy Konopasek interrupted the game. Although everyone had spirit, seniors were awarded the spirit flag and a trophy for first place in the float competition. The evening was not over as everyone attended the homecoming dance celebrating the recent victory. As homecoming concluded students reluctantly returned home to old uninhibited routines. Tackle ’em.
