 E Spirit Week played a major role in generating en- thusiasm for the homecoming game with Coleman. The week was launched on October 15th by Crazy Day. Students dressed their craziest and wore as many buttons and patches as they could find. On Space Day, Tuesday, the halls were filled with students sporting antennae and foil wrappings. Wednesday, Occupation Day, prompted stu- F Spirit Week Fires Fans dents to dress up as everything from businessmen to bums. On this midway day, cheerleaders and athletes were auctioned off as slaves to the student body. Golfer Dave Williams brought the high bid of $30. Thursday was populated with old-fashioned styles from cowboys to greasers. The week came to an end with Sports Day on Friday. Fishermen, football players and tennis pros roamed the halls. Spirit Week came to a noisy conclusion with the Friday pep assembly. Competitions between classes and teachers kept the crowd cheering and laughing. Students poured from the gym ready to cheer on their Bobcats to a victory over the Comets at Friday night's homecoming game.

Queen's Court Lends T radition Several new traditions were add- ed-and subtracted - from this year's homecoming. Students had no floats to work on this year. But the new tradition of powderpuff football and homecoming honeys were introduced. One tradition remained un- changed. That was the selection of the homecoming court. Five candi- dates were selected by each class and then each class voted to choose one representative. This tradition provided a pleasant contrast to the struggle on the football field. C D A. Andrea Chudzinski, the junior representative, was es- corted by Mike Nasser. B. Renea Follrath, the sophomore representative, was escorted by David Aho. C.
