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.

The week was capped by Saturday's homecoming game against Evart. The Bobcat victory meant the varsity team grabbed the Jackpine Conference Championship for the second straight year. The presentation of the trophy to Coach Blankenship provided a fitting ending to a spirited week. Stu- dents and alumni gathered to celebrate the victory at Saturday night's homecoming dance. 5

Spirit Week Promotes Strange Behavior CLOWN AND SLAVE THURSDAY, Oct. 29: The circus, espe- cially the clowns, had great influence on the students today. Imitating not only their dress but their hilarious treatment of friends as temporary slaves proved this theory. Students signed their names to another mural for the locker room. HALLOWEEN FRIDAY, Oct. 30: Halloween dictated the dress of students today. Some even attended the pep assembly that afternoon in their costumes. There, students from individual classes fought for points towards the Spirit Week Award, even- tually won by the seniors. Students were observed doing such bizarre acts as trying to whistle while eating crackers, speed- eating bananas, and sitting on blocks of ice. An outrageous group of people known as cheerleaders shared responsibility for planning these activities. But what could one expect from people who all dress alike every Friday? Swinging into Spirit Week on October 26th, Mrs. Jansen's first hour class takes a step up in fashion for No Sweat Day. ABOVE: Junior Renae Follrath answers the call of master of ceremonies Mr. Boals at the annual slave auction during Spirit Week. The auction was held on Wednesday. October 28th. Cheerleaders and athletes were auctioned to the highest bidder to serve as slaves the next day.
