BEWARE: Spirit Week fills the average Houghton Lake student with enthu- siasm and crazy ideas. But what would be the reaction of an out- sider who happened on the scene during the week before Home- coming? Last year, the reaction probably would have been like this: NO SWEAT MONDAY, Oct. 26: Apparently physical fitness has become very popular at HLHS. Many students attended classes clothed in jogging sweats. A well-balanced diet is associated with fitness also, which must explain the hordes of students weighing themselves during lunch hours. MOURNING TUESDAY, Oct. 27: A very somber group today: somberly dressed in black, that is. However, lunch periods proved active times as students voted for homecoming queen and honey and stamped green thumbprints on a new type of wall mural. Stu- dents anticipate an exciting game of girls' football in the evening. ROLL'EM UP OVERALL WEDNESDAY, Oct. 28: The bizarre fashion of rolled clothes highlighted dress today while cheerleaders collected bottle and jar caps during midday break. A head start in the Pepsi Challenge? HLHS has found the solution to the money problem: sell classmates at the annual slave auction. Grinning into the camera, junior Rob Kunik displays both Bobcat spirit and United States patriotism.
