Sung Hee Park says: ' ' I hope Mishawaka Mania can bring our school closer together. Mishawaka Goes Mania This year a new idea was brought to MHS by a student ' s father. Mr. Jerry Haughee came to the Student Council and gave a presentation concerning Mishawaka Mania. What is Mania? was the question that began revolving throughout the school. As summed up by Mr. Haughee, Mania is a theme for MHS kind of like Penn Pride or South Bend Wash. Green Machine. Mania means in- tense enthusiasm and excitement and was designed in an effort to create unity be- tween the boosters, Student Council, and PTA. This new idea came about in the fall of this school year when Mr. Haughee began thinking about names for Mishawaka High School. The first idea that came to mind was Maroon Mania which geared thoughts to just athletics. This was later changed to Mishawaka Mania, because he felt that this slogan included all of the people of MHS. Missy Bice commented, 1 think Mania is a good idea, but it needs to be promoted more so people will be- come aware of it. In December, the Student Council went right to work promoting Mania by selling t-shirts, hats, and sweatshirts bear- ing the design for Mishawaka Mania f0 Si which has been registered by an attorney as a trademark to be used for school sponsored activities. Eventually either the Student Council or the PTA would take control of the trademark and use it for academics as well as athletics and school spirit. Hopefully before the 1985-86 school year ends, Mishawaka Mania will be as common as Give me a ' C is now. David Carpenter exclaimed, Overall, Mania is a great way for the Cavemen fans to show the school spirit, enthusi- asm, and pride that they have towards Mishawaka High School. Chere Crutclifield.

Steve Wilson says: I think Spirit VJeek was great, but more people should participate. That way, the next time I dress up as Mr. T. I won ' t feel like such a fool! Spirit Week Is A Success Spirit Week was a huge success at Mishawaka High School this year. The Student Council President Rocco Zappia was in charge of selecting particular days in which to dress up, and the rest of the Student Council voted on their favorites. Rocco commented, I was extremely pleased by the participation of the stu- dents during the week. Suzi Jones exclaimed, Spirit Week worked out a lot better this year than in the past; more people got enthusiastic and dressed up. The purpose of dress- ing up throughout the week was to arouse spirit and get students fired up for the big game against Penn. I thought the week was well-organized, and I was kind of surprised that so many people took part, Bucky Linson replied. Monday was dress-down day, and most students arrived at school in sweats and old T-shirts. Jennifer Causey said, I liked coming to school in sweats and feel- ing comfortable all day long. Movie star day took place on Tuesday and students dressed like their favorite star. Tracy Jagerman said, Being Tina Turner was totally fun for movie star day! Wednesday was Hawaiian day and the popular attire consisted of grass skirts, flowered shirts, sunglasses, leas, and sandals. Mary Plonski answered. I liked Ha- waiian day because it made me forget the awful weather we have here. Thursday, anti-Penn day was the most successful of all. Most students looked like they had just come in from the barnyard. Kurran Heston commented, I liked farmer day because it was neat to dress up and make fun of Penn. The last day of Spirit Week was saved for students to wear school colors and show exactly how much spirit they had. Danielle Dalley exclaimed, It seemed like everyone in the hall was wearing ma- roon and white! Some students weren ' t able to find ap- propriate costumes to wear, but David Carpenter replied, Even though I didn ' t dress up everyday, 1 really enjoyed see- ing other people ' s crazy outfits. Once again, Spirit Week proved to be exciting, colorful, and very amusing. Left: Kita and Kir Sisters. I dress up as the Blu n Spirit Week 21
