Yelling, competing, acting crazy, S ' ' increase rivalry, add to Homecoming Rivalry was evident between classes dur- ing Spirit Week, October 10-14. Many students participated in the numerous ac- tivities which included four competitions to raise spirit, and dress-up days. Thursday night, the halls were filled with activity as students decorated for the Hall Decorating contest to be judged early Friday morning. Sayings, such as We've got pride and a whole lot more, we're the Class of Eighty-Four and Come Alive with the Class of 85 , hung from the beams on the ceiling and crepe paper streamed from every locker. The halls glowed with red and white. Competition was close but the seniors won the event over the sophomores by .4 of a point. Visitors could certainly see the Redskin spirit upon entering the school. During lunch students deposited their spare change in plastic jars designated for each class. The class having the most money 'ff v 'h'3 would win the competition and the money from all ofthe jars. With 357209, the Senior class won the event and the 35625, 38.19. and 39.60 raised by the freshmen, sophomores, and juniors, respectively, for a total of 559615. More school spirit was shown on Friday by the red and white worn by students and faculty. During the pep assembly, the classes were judged for the most red and white. To win the giant spirit stick it was necessary to win two out of the three designated contests- loose change, red and white, and class yell contests. Class yells was the final contest of the week. The seniors won the class yell as they had at every pep assembly. They finished the week winning all of the contests, but certainly not without a lot of competition. Another form of spirit-raising activities were the days designated as: Dress-up Mon- day, Beach!Tourist Tuesday, Weird Wednesday, Pajama Thursday, and Red and White Friday. Although the weather was cool, the halls of North were warmed with the excitement and anxiety of the Homecoming game and dance. Even on Beach!Tourist Tuesday with the attire of shorts, swimsuits, flippers, and sunglasses, the atmosphere was warm. Weird Wednesday allowed students and faculty to show their real selves. Purple, green, and orange hair, unmatched clothes, and long underwear were the normal outfits seen. Comfortable could describe the pajamas, robes, and slippers worn on Pajama Thursday. Spirit Week events were a New Frontzir for many because of the unique activities and the tremendous rivalry exhibited bet- ween classes. ., 1 'Wh Xu sz 3, .
