The freshman hall took a circus theme, while the sophomores challenged with “Family Feud. The juniors decided to make their hall a con- struction site, but none of these was better than the seniors ' “Road to Victory” design, which took first place. WITH STRENGTH in numbers, juniors lead by Loretta Kujawa and Lisa Foreman, out-pull the freshmen. The juniors eventually placed second to the sophomores in the championships FRESHMEN Jim Flobinson and Shan- DECORATING the sophomore hall non Viehman create a Wildcat ringleader on Saturday, Vicki Vanco helps her class for the freshman hall. in the 8 a m. -3 p.m. project

PIES IN THE FACE AND SLAVING AWAY Dignity disappears in Spirit Gaines arking sophomores Bob Stockton, Liz McElmurry, Wendy Beamer, and Tom Campbell were simply animals. That is, they manag- ed to dog their way to win the first Animal Magnetism Contest of the Spirit Games. The Banana-Eating Con- test, messy but entertaining, also was won by sophomores, Kelly Kopack and Laura Moll. Seniors Jeff Ashcraft, Danielle Stevens, Kellie McElmurry, Ed Kubiak, Dan Beck, Karl Wilhelm, Charlie Heflin, and Gretchen Stoll wiped-out the competition in the Toilet Paper Wrap. Web-footed sophomores Liz McElmurry, Jim Ahrendt, Carolyn Huseman, and Matt Wolfe waddled to first place in the Flipper Race, while a large group of seniors burst through to grab the Balloon Pop Relay. Freshmen Sonia Clark and Patricia Ahrendt didn’t let seniors monopolize all balloon events. They were surprise winners in the Balloon Toss. It was a good way to have fun at school, as well as a way to raise funds for Stu- dent Council,” junior Dan Barney said. “Being a slave was okay too, even though I wasn’t in the gym when I got auctioned off.

“Each class put forth a valiant effort,” said Student Council sponsor, Mr. Robert Krol, “but the seniors proved their dominance.” The battle of the classes did not stop there, as students from each class competed for costume awards for the various dress up days. On Monday, athletes entered the halls when juniors Dan and Heather Beck won the award for the day. Tuesday was a day for “lounging around and Karl Wilhelm demonstrated this abili- ty best by wearing pajamas, slippers, and a housecoat for “Come As You Are Day.” Wednesday, School Colors Day, some students returned to semi-normal. There were ex- ceptions however, as the day’s award winner, Charlie Heflin, painted his face and hair blue and red for the day. On Thursday, junior John Walker showed his ability to age quickly in his award winning costume on Old People Day. On Friday, students donned parents ' old clothes for 50s and 60s Day and Stuart Harris won the day ' s award. At the Homecoming game the students learned if their spirit ef- forts had paid off. The underclassmen were disap- pointed as the senior class was announced the winner of the Spirit Jug, but most took the loss in stride. The competition was fun, but winning or losing really didn ' t matter, junior Heather Beck said. “We all enjoyed it and that’s what counts.” DURING “ COME AS YOU ARE DAY” sophomore Wally Kil prepares to cook during the normal part of the day in Foods.
