Aloha! The snow outside didn't stop junior Scott Whitesell and sophomore Kris Schmidt from dressing in spirit. Tropical Day was one of the three dress up days for Spirit Festival. — T. YVakenight Pull! Pull! The senior tuggers give it their all towards a first place finish in the Tug-O-War competition. In the end. the se- niors won this event and Spirit Festival as a whole. — T. VVakenight It was time again. School pride shone as the week of Spirit Festival be- gan. The week started out with the announcement of the theme, “Board Games.” Senior Julie Lapp mentioned, “I thought the theme was a unique idea, but. after four years, any- thing looks good.” Each class had six days to complete their finished window display. Seniors came on top with a check- er board arrangement. Ju- IM niors, along with the soph- omores, tied for second place, and the freshmen completed the standings. Once again, the dress up days took place on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. Wednesday was College Day; Thurs- day was tropical Day, or “Get ready for Spring Break” Day; Friday was the traditional Red and Black day. Junior Tina Hughes added, “Tropical Day was the only fun dress up day. I consider College Day an excuse for people to grub and say they’re spirited.” On Friday the entire student body spent 5th and 6th hour in the gym participating in events. Students had various opinions as to which event was their favorite. “My fa- vorite event is the mum- my wrap because every year that Kelly O’Dowd and 1 have done it, we have won!” mentioned se- nior Mark Monk. Sopho- more Jason Eslinger add- ed, “I like the tug-o-war because it really shows which class has the most strength.” Freshman Diana Orns commented, “The pizza eating contest is definitely the best. It shows how many pigs we have in school!” As the events came to a close, the senior class came out on top with the juniors, sophomores, and freshmen to follow. Spirit Festival excite- of pride ment continued as some of the teachers put togeth- er a skit that made fun of the Lakeview Spartans. Finally, the Marshall High School basketball team was introduced and the student body was dis- missed afterwards. That night, Marshall played against Lakeview and Marshall came out victorious. Following the game, the cheerleaders sponsored a grub” dance. Everyone dressed as messy as possible and photos were taken with their favorite partner in grub. Spirit Festival
