Students participate in a week of fun Students showed their overflowing spirit all week. They dressed up according to the daily theme and some went to extreme of playing out their characters' roles. Pep club took responsibility for the event with hopes of participation from the entire student body. This week-long tradition, usually held the week of home- coming, allowed students a chance to show their school spirit. The choice of days, decided on by Lass- ies, was narrowed down from a large selection of ideas. The themes, except for Spook 'em blue and gold day, traditionally held on the last day of spirit week, were arranged in a specific order, according to anticipated participation. Spirit week began with hints of sportsmanship aimed at boosting morale. October 27 was Sport your Hi- lander day. Students came to school dressed as Kil- ties, baseball players and other types of athletes. The entire water polo team wore swim suits, head gear and towels to show enthusiasm. Surf's up rolled in on a wave Tuesday with stu- dents showing off faded tans by wearing shorts, hula skirts, sunglasses and other exciting beachwear. They did their best to bring back summer, with beachballs, umbrellas and sandals as part of the fantastic parapher- nalia. In honor of our Mrs. Peabody, Wednesday was Perfectly Peabody day. Hilanders dressed in bag lady and bum outfits. While arms grew heavy and tired from lugging around bags galore, smarter Peabodys pushed shopping carts. From rags to pocket protectors, Thursday turned into Revenge of the Nerds day. The bookworms of the school finally got their chance and many participat- ed in this classic event. Those who dressed up, did so in polyester suits and loud ties. During the last day of the week, students showed the most spirit by wearing blue and gold. By chance, Hal- loween fell on the same day. Many people dressed up for the occasion as witches, goblins, terrorists and in other horrid costumes. At the end of the week, Lassie officers selected peo- ple whom they thought did an outstanding iob at dressing the craziest and gave them spirit week awards. 1-Before going to class, Makani Coila stops and smiles on ' 'Perfectly Peabody Day. 2-Keeping the age old sport of girl watching alive, Tony Pfau rates his victim a perfect 10. 3-Students in Miss Sharron Cooper's literature class show their outstanding school spirit. 4- After a pep assembly Mrs. Peabody gets started on her way back to the home. 5-On nerd day, lohn Bales was at his nerdliest best and showed his pearly whites. 12 Spirit Week
