State title gives free da Kids strike at pep session One of the things that cre- ates the second semester dol- drums is the long break in the school routine. This year, the girls' Gym- nastics team did their best to both break the doldrum and to give the Spartans the break they felt they needed. With the success of the team, it was easy to take a night off and go see a meet.

And, when they won the state title, a promised free day was the reward for the faith- rul high school. Some gloom came when the weather was so bad that the free day was extended to all most every high school in northeast In- diana.

But after the pep session was when things got interesting. After the planned pro- gram, Principal Iim Manak asked the student body to go back to class and no one moved. The students stayed in their stands and the Gym- nastics team stayed in their X seats. Only the staff went out of the gym. And even before too long, some of the teachers returned to support the de- mand for a day off. Before ten minutes passed, Mr. Manak came back to the microphone and announced that a decision had been made to dismiss school for the day The Great Gymnas- tics Strike of 1983 had been successful. l1fl--- ,AQ ' ' i.:, '54, :Q - 0 ' if' I l l
