M t was Friday, February 19th. A normal Friday with M a home basketball game to be played against Clark High School that night. Spirit posters hung on the wall and students dressed in black and gold. Sounds like an ordinary Friday doesn ' t it? Well, it wasn ' t! It wasn’t just any Friday, nor had it been a normal week. All week long had been Spirit Week and Friday was Homecoming. But, not Football Homecoming. It was a Homecoming for Basketball. Officially, it was called Spirit Week and is hoped to become a new tradition in our school. Spirit Week began on Tuesday. Different looking clothing, spiked hair, and unusual makeup. These traits are often associated with punk rockers and with several students on Tuesday’s Punk Day. Grab your flowered shirt and grass skirt and go Hawaiian in the Wintertime with Wednesday ' s Hawaiian day. Don ' t feel like getting dressed for school? Wanna stay nice and warm in your pj ' s and bunny slippers? Well, go ahead it ' s Thursday ' s Pajama Day. Sophomore Katrina Gasper said, I thought PJ Day was cool because all you had to do was roll out of bed and you were dressed.” Finally, Friday had arrived. This day was to be the busiest of the week. Not only was it Black and Gold Day but, there was a pep rally, game, and a dance to look forward to. The pep session was held during sixth hour. Booster Club President Senior Kim Companik was in charge. First she introduced Coach Jerry Gurrado. Mr. Gurrado gave a short little speech and then introduced the basketball team. Loud whistles and clapping from the students filled the air. Panth- erettes, Cheerleaders, Sweatergirls, Lifters, and the Pep Band, provided the entertainment for the rest of the hour. I thought it was a great way to get out of class. I thought it was exciting, said sophomore Dave Meyers. After an exciting and intensifying first half the Panther team returned to the lockerroom for half time, as the crowd anxiously awaited for the crowning of Duke and Dutchess to begin. The royal court was made up of one couple from each class. Representing the Senior Class was Ray Jajowka and Tina Felski. Brother and sister Branko and Desa Stepan ovich were the junior couples. Ryan Davis, Barbie Gal, Steve Trivunovich, and Donna Slakinin were the sophomore choices. Nervously, the candidates and the fidgeting audi ence awaited to hear the results. Booster Club President Senior Kim Companik and Vice President Senior Rhonda Reed had the honor of crowning the first Spirit Week Duke and Dutchess. The Spirit Week Duke and Dutchess were, Branko and Desa Stepanovich. When everyone came and congratulated me, said ju- nior Branko Stepanovich about being crowned was the best part about being crowned. It was really exciting being crowned. I was really happy my brother was with me because I get even more excited when he wins something,” said Desa Stepanovich, junior. Unfortunately, the Panthers were defeated. Many peo- ple ' s spirits were dampened by the loss; especially the sen- iors. Because for them it would be their first and last Basket ball Homecoming. Spirit Week did not turn out as successful as most had hoped. Senior Jennifer Schroeder said, It was disappoint- ing because for the F ootball Homecoming everyone was into it and it didn’t seem like many people were enthusiastic about the Basketball Homecoming. I think they should have a Spirit Week next year. But, if they do, it should be planned ahead of time so people know what ' s going on. A contest between the classes for spirit points should be held to make more people dress up, said Susan Krug, senior. 7 he Pantherettes perform a favorite routine for the basketball team and the students at the pep session held during sixth hour 20 — Spirit Week
