Class of '81 wins spirit stick; Sandwell queen During MHS's Spirit Week, Oc- tober 13-17, the students supported their classes and the Warriors by wearing special attire and by decorating the halls with balloons and lights to give the school a carnival-like atmosphere. The Senior Class displayed its spirit the best and was presented the spirit stick for the third con- secutive time. Ron Wineinger, Senior Class president, accepted the award during the pep assembly. Chosen to reign over the game festivities and the dance was Tam- my Sandwell, who was escorted by Kevin Jirak. She was crowned by Theresa Kroupa, the 1979 queen. At- tendants were Gena Helmer and Lanell Tajchman. Homecoming's final event, the dance, lasted from 9-12 with the band Marquee'' providing the music. The theme for the dance was “Nighttime Magic.” Due to conflic- ting activities, there was no snake dance or burning of the dummy. LEFT: 1980 Queen Tammy Sandwell and escort Kevin Jirak.
