A J-Hawks show who's the best. . . e've got spirit! What's that glowing orange thing with purple polka dots walking down the hall? asked Trudi. Don't be silly Trudi, it's a special spirit week and everyone ls supposed to dress up to raise spirit to beat Washington Friday night, stated Chalet. Spirit days are those picked by Student Council to fire-up stu- dents for an upcoming event. During a casual week of attend- ing school, many J-Hawk students are found dressed up as tourists, wearing outrageous hats, or looking like they are ready for W.W.IlI. Senior Jean Jurgensen stated, I think the spirit days really raise the spirit at school, and it gives people a change from the every- day school routine. . 496' ,1 Vifli tak Another way to show spirit is by attending the pep assemblies. These assemblies give students a chance to scream and yell or a perfect chance to stand out in the crowd by dressing up to show that their class is the best. Senior Mary Sedlacek stated, l'm not afraid of being recognized as showing my school spirit. I feel that if no one shows any sort of spirit our school activities would fall apart. This opinion is also shared by senior John Wirth who said, lf our schooI's spirit died, getting in- volved in sports would decrease extremely because everyone likes to have a lot of support when they are competing. There's nothing like a good row- dy crowd of wild students yelling to show that they are the best in the school. Pep assemblies and spirit days are special ways to help the stu- dents come together and form the best school ever. Spirit days provide the opportu- nity for students to show their craziness.
