With Mr. Dyche ' s promise to jump off Buckroe pier if we won the Hampton game. Spirit Week was off with a B-A-N-G! Actually Spirit Week was a two-day span covering the Bonfire and the Volkswagen races on Thursday, October 3 1 , and con- cluding with Friday ' s pep rally and game. This year the juniors instigated the bon- fire at Gosnold ' s. Before the fire was lit, the car races were conducted. Ten men from each class pushed a Bug 220 yards. Juniors were the obvious laggers, losing with sixteen seconds, while sopho- mores and seniors tied with fifteen seconds. An exciting second race was held between the Class of ' ll and ' 75. This time sophomores were the ultimate victors with their thirteen seconds to the seniors ' fourteen seconds. Finally, the three classes united around the fire and school spirit was at its highest.

Juniors won by a slim margin, with stiff competition from seniors and sophomores. At the game that night, the spirited marching band provided half-time enter- tainment. Band members formed a giant bow and arrow with the Warrior pulling the arrow which pierced a giant paper crab hung between the goal posts. Unfortunately, the game was not as successful as the half-time show. Hampton stomped us 34-0. Mr Dyche remained warm and dry. Patchwork — 21
