Kevin Johnson proves the size of his mouth in the apple bobbing contest The Juniors unfortunately took second place in the spirit week activities. Cutting out letters for the senior spirit sign, Barbara Hale works tediously. Although the feeling of the senior class was that they should have gotten first, they received second place. 10 Spirit Week Spirit Week Rained Out Enjoying themselves, the powder puff cheer- leaders show their support. Even though they had to perform in the gym, they stacked up well. It rained, it poured, and it was spirit week. The rain and cold caused the cancellation of many of the spirit week activities. Monday and Tuesday were the only days that the activities were held outside. Monday, people participated in the new activities of apple bobbing and apple stacking. The apple bobbing was very interesting, especially when senior Christy Boughan came up with two apples in her mouth. Tuesday was the traditional car pack and Simon Says. This year, a compact car was used instead of a station wagon. Although the Seniors went against the odds of the size of their students, they won the car pack. Atchi- son, Senior, Dan Bowen was Simon for this years Simon Says game. On Wednesday the powder puff game was moved to Thursday and changed to volley ball games. Chris Silver, Kansas City, Ks senior had this to say about spirit week. “I thought it was a lot of fun but the weather could have been better. It interferred with the powder puff football game and the pyramid. I was really looking forward to spirit week because it was my Senior year.” The rain dampened the Friday activities too, the Student-Alumni foot- ball game had to be cancelled and the traditional bonfire was not burned. At the pep rally, people seemed to make up for the spirit lost during the week, especially the Seniors, who won the spirit stick. Christy Boughan, Oak Grove, Mo, Senior, summed spirit week up by saying, “I thought spirit week was like this total bummer. The rain was totally gnarly and it just like brought everybody down. It was real rad though because everyone was just like awesomely pepped up. It was totally tubular that the Seniors won, even though we didn’t get to jam at playing powder puff. All in all though, it was a dazzling week.” (story by Beth Sylvester) The football captains congratulate Sara Lange for winning Intramural Queen. She was crowned at the pep rally because the Intramu- ral game was rained out.

Jobs Provide Necessary Income School is an important part of many Maur Hill and Academy stu- dents, but so is going to work for some. It’s tough if you are working and going to school, but many students do accomplish it. Day students aren’t the only one’s working. With the work-study pro- gram the boarders can do jobs such as working in the cafeteria or mowing grass to help earn for their tuition. Justin Caraway, Lubbock, TX, Senior said, “I enjoy working in the cafeteria and through a process of seniority, you can move to a better job, and since I have worked four years, I have it pretty easy.” Aside from the boarders who participate in work-study, there are the day students working around town. Mike Lasater, Atchison, senior who works at the Exchange National Bank Trust Company, said, “A job at such a company gives me alot of experience and the opportunity t experience life in the world of bus: ness, which will help me later on in lifi The money is also very useful.” The money is the main reason for most students getting jobs, but some stu dents do feel that a job has othe benefits. “Working gives me an oppor tunity to see a wide variety of people. It gives me practical experience and a chance to use some of the things I have learned in school” said Dan Bowen, Atchison, Senior. Working and going to school is tough, it can affect your grades and sometimes get in the way of school and social activities. Barb Jaegle, Atchi- son, Senior, said, “My job lets me meet a lot of interesting people, and it provides the money I need for many things. It takes a lot of my time, but when you get that big paycheck, it’s worth it.” (Story by Mike Lutz) Stacking unused bowls in the cabinets, Mark McKay, cleans up after dinner is finished being served. Many boarders and day students help the sisters in the cafeteria. Steve Bartulica stacks the bread out for the incoming students. Bread is one the more popular items in the lunch line. Cleaning the chemistry lab after school, Steve McKillip sweeps the floor. Steve does most of his work-study work helping the custodians. 12 Jobs
