Spirit Week story unfolds in 3-D s students' zany antics vary from Hawaiian to toga Dear Jimmy, I hope you enjoyed your time in the hospital, and I just know you're going to love your new nose. Thought I should write and let you know how this past week went. It all started off on Monday when to our surprise, those wild Student Govern- ment representatives MADE us get out of class tha, ha, hal for a pep assembly. They talked about sportsmanship, and Going Pups and Beating the Railers or maybe it was the other way around. I couldn't hear very well from my seat in Mr. Gibson's office. Anyway, for the next four days, we were all supposed to dress-up and show some real school spirit. Tuesday was supposed to be ArmyfNavy Day but some people got confused and dressed in Marine clothing and went around doing Gomer Pyle Shazams all morning. Then there were the members of the Roman Army but that's another story in itself. Wednesday was Hawaiian Shirt Day. Talk about some crazy colors. I don't even want to mention those safari shirts. Interesting to say the least. If I had made them, I'd be 'so fari away from here it wouldn't even be funny. fha, ha, hal If the safari people didn't have spirit, they had a lot of guts. You would have felt right at home on Thursday, It was Punk Rock, Break Dance and Nerd Day. People painted their hair, their faces and their Tee shirts. The breakers had it easy. All they needed was one glove and an old parachute to be stylish. And those Nerds! I saw enough high-water pants, ball point pens, horn-rimmed glasses, bow ties and nose-picking to last me for quite awhile. Now if you don't know what Friday was, you've been out of the driver's seat far too long. What would a Spirit Week be without Red and White Day? The col- ors did really add to the spirit of things during classes and at the assembly. I bet you too would have bought a new red shirt if you had been here. Well, most of the craziness is over and even if it was juvenile, it was fun. I just hope some of the spirit keeps showing up throughout the year. Remember what Gen. Mac Arthur said, Old Spirit Weeks May Die, but the Spirit Never Fades Away or something like that. Cha, ha, hal Your best pal, Orville lalias Jeff Schragj in---..L, Modeling the latest fashions jeff Schrag, sr., fits the image of a spirited dode on Nerd Day during Spirit Week. Nerd Day produced 10!Spirit Week a variety of nerds, punkers, and breakers within the MHS walls as the day erupted in outlandish garbs and attires.

ife in hexes I go to the library so s I can study L Eric Stenzel, sr. A Sophomores. Juniors. Seniors. All of us have experienced both good and bad times inside and outside the walls of MHS. Inside, who could ever forget, . . . early morning hours in the AC cramming for tests and completing f???J unfinished homework or catchng up on the latest gossip or taking advantage of the new a la carte menu for lunch if you weren't one who made the great 37 minute escape. And after school a walk through the AC finds dedicated cheerleaders and Stugo members practicing, making banners or decorating for that special game or occasion. How about the Little Theater? Here is where all those involved in the musical and play rehearsed for long hours. It was also the spot for music groups to devote practice time to that special performance. , And, Wow! How could we ever forget the Roundhouse that rocked with those who came The library provides a quiet spot l???i for studying as Kris Hill, Eric Stenzel, and Quynn Pham, srs. discover. Studying for a test, Hill and Stenzel search for an answer to a question. and rooted teams on to victory or those who spent tireless hours practicing before those games. Outside the walls, nobody could forget the freedom of weekends and time spent with friends. Next year students' lives will change as we'll have one more group of students and will add a NEW LEASH ON STUDENT LIFE During the yearbook signing party in the AC, Aug. 14, Lisa Charbonneau takes time out to talk to friends she hasn't seen all summer. The AC became a real sauna since the air conditioners weren't on because of cost. Student Life! 9 Q!
