l 5' ' piritz To have or not to have! Spirit Week 1 988: sheets and men's underwear, con- cert T-Shirts and Islander Wear, and the traditional Or- ange and Black. Unfortunately the tradition of having spirit during spirit week was not carried through this year. There was an especially poor turn out for most of the days, except for Islander Day. The week started with Toga Day on Monday. This was the most disappointing day of all. Not one toga was seen at HHS. Sophomore Karry Hegwood said, I thought that Toga Day was a neat ideal I really wanted to dress up, it was very disappointing . , . maybe next year. On Tuesday, many girls and a few guys showed their school spirit on Boxer Shorts Day. Some students thought that this was a neat idea, while others found the idea of wearing men's underwearto be humorous. Junior Lynne Truesdale said, Boxer Shorts Day was fun, no wait, l mean fun-ny. Just thinking about all those girls wearing men's underwear makes me laugh. Concert T-Shirt Day on Wednesday didn't have very many participants either. lt was more-or-less like any other ordinary day. Concert T-shirts are seen regularly at HHS, students felt that having a special day to wear them was unnecessary. Sophomore Gina Pickerell said, The turnout for Concert T-shirt day was very upsetting. About the same number of T-shirts were seen that day as any other day. Unfortunately I lack such a possession and so such a day was meaningless to me. Finally the awaited day came, Islander Day. This day was filled with lots of spirit and had by far the most par- ticipants. The day began with the poster contest. Halls were decorated with many spirit posters, but the bridge, decorated by the senior class, had the most decorations. The seniors won the contest again this year. For the freshman the spirit week experience was new and exciting. Freshman Tyler Michel said, lt was cool to see almost every student dressed up in Islander clothes and then at the game against Grand Island that night. All of the stands were full. The game had a good start, but we slowed down early in the second half and lost. Friday ended spirit week with Orange and Black Day. As one scanned the halls, minimal amounts of or- ange and black were seen. Senior Dan Bowlds said, Orange and Black day was disappointing. Everyone was willing to dress up in Islander colors and clothes, but they didn't want to dress up in our school colors and support HHS.

Besides the chaos, intramural basketball CIBAD allowed those who didn't want to play for the school still play competitive basketball. The IBA was organized by Mr. John Pergi and Mr. Norm Sheets. There was not a freshman-sophomore divi- sion this year because of lack of interest, there was a sophomore team which was incorporated into the ju- nior-senior division. The teams picked their own mem- bers and any people who wanted to play but couIdn't find a team were drafted into a team. The teams played a series of games which ended the season with a tourna- ment and championship game. I really liked IBA this year, I wish there were more sophomores that wanted to play, commented sopho- more Tren Mays. The IBA was not for the weak at heart. Play was usu- lntramural Basketball ally very competitive to say the least. Most took the games seriously and had a strong will to win. Games werevejry physical and one could see many elbows be- ing thrown throughout the duration of the game. lt gets prettyrbugh underneath the hoop, said senior Troy Kort. Tempers would often flare and the game become a little too rough. Occasionally a player was ejected by the referees for getting a little out of hand. The Bud Lite team won the championship by easily defeating the other nine teams. Senior member of the winning team, Don Biggs said, The key to our success was that everyone put us down and said that we didn't know how to play basketball, we had something to prove. Finishing second to the Bud Lite team was the Skins, while Spectrum and the Sophomores took up the last two spots respectively. Phil Mattes Deidre Walker
