Spirit Shines Through During Homecoming Go, Fight, Win! Bulldogs! Cheering was one of the many things that went along with the well-known spirit week, otherwise known as Homecoming. Homecoming means students filled with spirit and backing their team, commented senior Lisa Boyles. Home- coming meant a lot to the student body, teachers, coaches, not to men- tion the football team. This week was the main highlight of the year and stu- dents were involved in various activi- ties, with spirit week being the most popular. Last year spirit week consisted of sweat day on Monday. During the day we could see sweats advertising Indi- ana to Yale or the ever so popular Care Bears. On Tuesday all seniors wore their pajamas, while the rest of the student body dressed in fifties at- tire. On Wednesday students and teachers could be seen dressed in Ha- waiian print shirts and laies, Some of the extras on this day were frisbees and beach balls, in addition to the mir- rored and risky business styled sung- lasses. Thursday was dress up day. We saw the versatility of the student body as almost everyone had decked out for the occasion; the ladies in dresses and the gentlemen in slacks. It was a very neat but unusual sight. com- mented Freddie Bredemeyer. When the long awaited day, Friday, arrived most students were in the high- est of spirits. The football team looked forward to the up and coming even- ing, and the fans were eager to cheer them on. During the school day the students dressed in the colors of purple and gold to show support of their team. I thought it was fun, ev- eryone seemed to get into the spirit BRINGING OUT THE laughter in everyone Mr. Eller. Mr. Blombach, Mr. Derby, and Mr. Stephan put on one of the expected wild skits during the pep session. WITH THE TRADITIONAL SWEAT DAY.

During the in-school pep session the cheer- leaders put on a skit that involved the Senior players. They had a different song for every individual senior that gave a clue of the players personal- ities described by others. Some examples of the songs were Dress You Up by Madonna describing Heath Hostetlor, describing John Banet was Winnie Pooh with Rumbly in my Tubmly. Eric Stine was Loverboy by Billy Ocean, Scott Renier was Carwasher. If Ya Think I ' m Sexy by Rod Stewart de- scribing Pat Baumgartner. Nick Burris was described by ZZ Top as Sharp Dressed Man. John Gerardot was de- scribed as He ' s So Shy, Bill Rondots was Big, Bad and Dennis Brocks was I ' m Alive. It was really fun because the students were really rowdy, stated senior Rod Anderson. Also arousing more spirit among students, a few un- known seniors distributed rolls of toilet paper to the senior class, who in turn took advantage of the situation and T-peed the gymnasium. Students al- ways seem to get into the Homecom- ing pep sessions but this years was bet- ter than I anticipated, commented Julie Beard. Then came one of the most awaited moments; the crowning of the Home- coming Queen. Senior Sandi Burns was announced as Queen. Her senior Court included Michelle Love and Kim Odem. — Heidy Hamm DIFFERENT 12 PIECES STUDENT LIFE
