TWIST AND SHOUT! Student Council member Deidra jordan leads a group of toga-clad students in a quick song and dance on Toga Day. X-f Student Council Made Starting Back To School Easier With A Traditional Welcoming-'- Welcoming everyone back for a new year is what Howdy Week is all about. Sponsored by the Student Council, and set in the first month of school, Howdy Week was a planned week of activities and festivities. It also served as a perfect opportunity to catch up with old friends and make plenty of new ones. You see people in a new element, away from school, and it's easier to talk to them, explained senior Monica Naukam. Sophomore Barbie Barton agreed. All the events allow freshmen, sophomores, ju- niors, and seniors to attend, so you can meet people from all grades. It's also a time to see your friends and talk to them for longer than passing time and lunch. Howdy Week activities varied from day to day, and there seemed to be something for just about everyone, including Red and Blue Day, an ice cream social at This Can't Be Yogurt , Crazy Day and Godfather's Pizza and a midnight movie after a winning foot- ball game Friday night. Senior Laurel Robison enjoyed the fslightly rainyj hayride the most. It was adventuresome, action-packed, and kind of scary, which brought everybody closer to- getherf' Others, like junior Athena Day and sen- iors Lewis Everly and Terry jackson pre- ferred the original Toga Day . It was great and a lot of laughs, stated junior Michael Parrot. There were really a great number of unusual sheets. Howdy Week also included an assembly full of hilarious skits, which received rave reviews from students and teachers alike. Many students commented on the fact that this was the best assembly they had seen in a long time. I think the assembly was better than any other one I've seen or participated in. It was very successful because it was funny, well- organized, and done in good taste. Overall, it was just a really creative idea. said senior Scott Symes. No matter what activities students partici- pated in, everyone came away with a great attitude, lots of spirit, and a sense of belong- ing. I think it made freshmen feel more wel- come - not such outsiders, said senior Christina Pirrong. Senior Traci Clark agreed. It put every- body in a common place, doing the same things, and meeting each other. But I was really surprised at all the freshmen there -- - whatever happened to strict parents?!
