Spirited Seniors Lead The Way Senior year was the great- est. The class of 1983 proved that they were the most enthu- siastic. Homecoming Week was a time when the Senior Spirit was most evident. Hay- ing won the spirit link contest and wearing their class T- shirts, the Seniors showed the underclassmen the true mean- ing of school spirit. The sen- iors made Homecoming week unforgettable by parading around the school dressed as they did during the ’70’s. The mod-look and the Afro gave some seniors a new personal- ity. Patriotism also provided a theme day and seniors wore red, white, and blue in honor of the 1976 bi-centennial. It wasn’t easy trying to cap- ture the look and feeling of the past decade, but Home- coming Week did. This gave all seniors a chance to show their pride. The spirit they gave off was contagious to faculty and underclassmen alike. During the assembly the band showed their support while they waited their turn to perform. Opening 3
