The 200 girls who attended the Annu- al Slave Auction quickly learned that this was no place for wimps. Bidding for one of the varsity football players often be- came quite spirited and was a highlight of Spirit Week. The zaniness started on Monday - All Sweats day. Beeboks, sweat suits and other sporty attire were com- mon. Tuesday featured a first-ever Balloon day. Pep club sold 750 bal- loons in all, raising S375 for Turnabout and spirit items. Tuesday night was the Slave Auction. Scream- ing girls packed into the commons in hopes of buying their favorite football players. Biding often reached the 51540 limit as the players did push-ups, flexed their muscles and took off their shirts. Ac- cording to coach John Hotfelder, the money raised was used to finish paying Using the sidewalk to avoid being laughed at, Britt Sansom 1125 and his little green wagon head towards class after dropping oft his owners. for the football sled purchased by last: year's auction and for football awardsf night. During Slave Day on Wednesday, fan- tasies ran wild as the Grinch who stole Christmas, Tinkerbell, Big Bird and oth- ers came to life. Wednesday was also Rent a Soccer Player Day, allowing girls to bid on players at lunch. 0 , Spirit Week i l l l Look ou! QUYS tfi S leaders, K at the HO Thus football players weren't the only team to be clad in unusual costumes. Soccer buddies became slaves Thurs- day and were transformed into food. On Friday, students dressed in Black and Gold to show their spirit at the -.Il Homecoming pep assembly. Male cheerleaders pounded their way onto the floor as they jumped, shouted and attempted pyramids amidst uncontrolla- ble laughter from the stands. The crowd roared again as the sexy legs contestants pa- raded across the judging table. Nick Westen- berger 1125 and Lorenzo Brinkley 1115 were de- clared the winners. At the end of the pep assembly, the winning class in the spirit contest was awarded the spirit stick. It has been a tradi- tion for seniors to win the stick, but the class of '88 became the first to win it two years in a row. Sen- ior Class secretary, Ka- ren Martin, said, Our class is so awesome be- cause this has never been done before! We have set a standard of spirit that the rest ofthe classes will have to try and live up to. Spirit week's purpose, according to Melanie Talley 1125, Pep Club secretary, is to.encourage students to participate in all the Homecoming festivities and to raise school spirit overall. By the week's end, many would agree those goals had been reached. 1Flachel Fay- man5 Iwqqhr I. l l Why doesn't anybody take me seriously, jokes Craig Frederking 1115 as he attempts to participate in a discussion despite his strange appearance.
