Spirit ’born again’ in five days Homecoming is a big event at any school. Having a spirit week before homecoming gave it a special mean- ing. Many students in every class par- ticipated in decorating class floats and halls. The halls were decorated over Thanksgiving weekend by members of each class. Students also showed spirit by dressing up for points toward the spirit jug for their classes. When students arrived Monday, the halls were a pleasant surprise. The freshman hall by the cafeteria remem- bered the captives in Iran with a big yellow ribbon. The sophomore hall was located in the west wing. Class members who decorated this hall used bright colors that really caught the eye. By the girls bathroom, a toilet was placed with a sign saying “flush- ’em.” The junior hall extended from the lobby to the north commons. The class of ‘82 incorporated the Muppets into their hallway decorations. The graduating class of ’81 selected songs by Journey and AC DC to por- Also dressing for school colors day are sen- iors Lisa O ' Brien (top), Mary Anderson (bottom), and Mary Kozlowski (right).

They caught all eyes with a large sign that said Hallway to Hell.” Every day was different for dress- ing up. Monday was 50’s day, featur- ing greased hair, ponytails, leather jackets, skirts, bobbysocks, and rolled up jeans. Tuesday was kiddie day and Doctor Dentons were a common sight. Several guys decided to go back to their infant days and wore diapers. They were called to the office to see if shorts were underneath. Bibs and bonnets, toys, stuffed animals, baby bottles and lollypops helped create the impression of little kids. It was an experience never to be forgotten. The day was full of laugh- ter, said Monica Sisney. Cowboy day had students wearing boots, vests, hats, and fringed pants. Many students carried guns and sported tinsel sheriff badges on their shirts. A few stick horses were also Occupation day was a huge success. Kim Funk as a belly dancer, Gaythee Young as a nun and Sue Sikma as a baseball player are just a few of the many careers demon- strated on this day. seen herded to class. Thursday was occupation day which brought out plenty of doctors, nurses, and a few nuns. More exotic jobs included dancers, ladies of the night and a couple of transvestites. (Jim Hudspeth and Rich Solberg). Many of these costumes were original and never worn in any year before. This day was a joke,” said Barb O ' Dea. Barb took advantage of the occasion and dressed as a lady of the evening, with Chris Muelman as her escort.” Colors day was the final dressup day. The cheerleaders, pom pon girls, basketball and wrestlers players wore their uniforms. A couple of the stu- dents put food coloring in their hair. Because of having a perm, Mary Koz- lowski still had a red tint after the day was over. On Wednesday all student council members were sold in the slave auc- tion. The following day the slaves” Terry Watson, Tom Collins and Jim Yoth- ment, as well as the rest of the junior var- sity, were introduced during the pep assembly. 12— Spirit Week

The Sadie Hawkins dance was a blessing in disguise; the happiness shows in the whites of their eyes. Andy Richart and Debbie Vann said that it was a night that they will never forget. Her clothes were ragged and her shoes were torn, but the look on her face was far from forlorn. Her name is Mrs. Uran, she said she had a good time, and that is the end of this beautiful rhyme. Ya ' ll might think they look like farmers but they ' re city folks at heart. Miss Jorgensen, Jim Hudspeth, Rich Solberg, Carrie Cracz, Tim Urbanski and Kelly Cody carry on the hillbilly tradition. Selena Scott brought her all-time sweet- heart to the Sadie Hawkins dance, hoping he wouldn ' t bring Sadie. Mrs. Brenda Farley stands and stares while the cameraman said, I didn ' t pay to get in, so who cares? Yearbook Sadie Hawkins Dances — 11

were required to obey (within reason) the commands of their newly acquired “masters. Kim Boling was sold for $17, the highest amount paid for a slave. Banana and pie eating contests, chug-a-lug, egg throwing, and the race of oranges were among the games held on Wednesday. Not many seniors signed up for the games, however, because they had jobs after school. Student council sold pies to be thrown at Mr. Joseph Fetty, Mr. Rob- ert Krol, and Mr. Greg Whitacre. There was a great demand for other teachers to get pies in their faces. Mr. Uhl and Miss Thomson were only two of the teachers who received such requests by the students. The slaves were painted-up and given signs to wear Thursday. Between classes the slaves carried their masters’ books to class while often arriving late to their own. Dur- ing lunchtime the slaves carried trays, danced with other slaves and sang songs. Also, there were races where the slaves pushed pennies with their noses. The parade on Friday was a rowdy affair. Only seniors were allowed to drive in the parade, even though some of the cars had obscenities on them. Judging the floats were Mrs. Barbara Santona, Mr. Jack Granger and Mr. James Nicholas. During the pep rally the winners of several competitions were announced. Mrs. Sue Roller, Mrs. Joan Uran and Mr. Bruce Farley, who judged the halls, selected the sopho- more corridor as the best. The juniors won second while the freshmen took third. Awards were also given to individu- als for best costume during dress-up days. For 50 ' s day, Rich Kubiak won first with his leather jacket outfit. There was a four way tie for first on kiddie day. Predictably, the diapered gentlemen took first, Joe Urbanski, Scott Claus, Tim Urbanski and Larry Suarez. Although Wednesday was cowboy day, it wasn ' t a cowboy that took first place, but rather a cowgirl; Joy McClymont. Taking first p lace for occupational day with her dancing display of balloons was Diana Hop- kins. On colors day, freshman, Eugene Griffith, took first. The sophomores had the highest percentage of students in costume for three days and the juniors, two. This added points to their totals for the spirit jug competition. Many students felt student council should have taken count of students dressed in first hour instead of going to the commons dur- ing lunch. There would have been a big change in scoring. Too many sen- iors leave early and couldn’t wait around to sign up,” said Tammy Col- lins. Scoring highest and taking first place in the float and games was the sophomore class. The juniors were second and the seniors third. The class of 1983 won the spirit jug for the second year in a row. “We really worked hard on winning it. We plan on keeping it until we graduate,” said Tina Reeder. On Saturday the student council members took down the hall decora- tions and placed them inside the gym. For the first time the hall decorations were not totally destroyed. There was only some minor damage when the balloons were popped in the freshman hall and the toilet was stolen from the sophomore hall. But overall, every- thing and everyone remained intact for the week. Joe Urbanski, fully dressed in blue and red, was one of the many students participating on colors day during spirit week. Lisa Dayberry, Sue Stasiuk, Valerie Neaves, Joan Goff and Nancy Potts rode their very own horses in the annual spirit week parade. Spirit Week — 13
