The Right Recipe : V ' Hug A Hippie ' hat do you get when you add several dozen hippies, an egg toss, high school students stuffing their faces full of spaghetti, a pep ral- ly (complete with cheerleaders, band, and football team), a dance, various and sundry costumes, and a football game? Answer: Spirit Week! In a variant on tradition, HHS again keyed up for the Homecoming football game with the festivities of Spirit Week. Starting on Monday with a salute to the team ' s offense and culminating in a dance after the game Friday night, the fun of Spirit Week touched just about ev- eryone, regardless of interest in the game itself.

Thursday was Costume Day, with stu- dents dressing up as anything from clowns to gypsies. Finally, the day of the big game. Nearly the whole school was decked out in blue and gold, as everyone prepared for the game.

It was a victory for school spirit. ♦ Rob Palmer As team members saluted in the pa- rade down Kennedy Avenue, students readied for Superstar competition.
