Spirit Week was short- ened to Spirit Day this year because of confu- sion. J.C.C.A. students are so full of spirit that sometimes they forget that they are in school to study! All students’ spirit was bottled up inside until Friday when the bottle exploded. The Homecoming game was on Halloween this year and Seniors could not break a tradition, so- they wore their Halloween cos- tumes on Spirit Day. The rest of the student body par- ticipated in Original Blue and White Day. The Juniors decided to dress alike with thermal underwear, shorts, and ties. Senior costumes ranged from pumpkins to peanut butter to punk rockers. It was regarded by many as a most unusual day, The pep rally got everyone excited for the playing of that important game. All events of the day were building up to the highlight of the week —- the crowning of the queen. Festivities Arouse Spirit (Above) For Seniors, Halloween and Spirit Day are one and the same.

The week before the an- nual Powderpuff game at John C. Calhoun could easily be termed “war week”. As practices began everyone looked at his friends on the other team as enemies. When the buzzer rang, out ran 22 girls who were ready to win. During half-time, three candidates for the powerpuff queen were waiting to see who would be crowned. The can- didates were Paul Camburn, Dowl Knight, and Scott Crosby. The lucky winner was Pauletta Scottetta Cam- burn. After the crowning of the queen, the players were ready to battle it out for an- other 45 minutes. As the game ended, with the score of 8-0, the Seniors became the first team at J.C.C.A. to win 4 Powderpuff games in a row. The memory of the four victories has not been forgot- ten by a single Senior player. After the night of November 20th, enemies became friends again until next year when they meet again.
