Spirit Week Kindles Affection for IHS The student council sponsored “Spirit Week” which was observed February 26 through March 1. at IHS. An innovation last year, “Spirit Week” is a week specially designed to promote school spirit. This year, a different event was scheduled for each day. Monday was set aside for a contest to see which class had the most students registering for the bus to the game. On Tuesday, the students were asked to wear the school colors, blue and white. Wednesday was school improvement day and the classes competed to see which could collect the most litter in specially assigned trash boxes. Thursday brought a contest to see which class could make the best and most posters promoting school spirit. Friday, students wore black to mourn for the poor Hastings Saxons who met their doom that night. A pep assembly was held at noon and students took part in the jug contest. “Spirit Week” was a success for student, teachers, and the team! Really Slmron. you can’t win for your class that way! The noon hour pep assembly aroused spirit for that night. John and Dave wonder if the Juniors will ever make it. Anybody walking in study hall was reminded what week it was. The result of Spirit Week: Victory. 13

Really Glenda, is your answer off that much? Moments of Fun Are Part of the Day Just another obstacle to go around between classes, huh? Just another “goof-off” day in P.E. class. 12

Spruces and Snowflakes Glimmer The Ionia High School gymnasium was transformed into a beautiful land of “Silver Frost” for the 1967 senior Christmas dance on December 16. In a romantic setting of fragrant spruce Christmas trees decorated with silver ornaments, couples danced under dimmed lights to music played by a group from Western Michigan University, called the Jeanie Mahler Quartet. Others relaxed and enjoyed punch and cookies on the balcony. The supplies for the punch and cookies were donated by members of the senior class and the refreshments were served by the parents of class members. Those parents who helped were Mr. and Mrs. Donald Mirzoian, Mr. and Mrs. Howard LaPointe, Mrs. Kip Carleton, Mrs. Kenneth Rudolph, Mrs. Fred Thwaites, and Mrs. Wayne Brownell. The success of the dance was due to the effort put forth by the chairman of the dance, Brenda Furman. The co-chairman, Anne Kopchick, also devoted some of her time to the preparation of the decorations. Couples dance under a profusion of delicate snowflakes. Bill Simpson and Barb Norris relax before a wall mural. 14
