Cultivated Spirit “Mardi Gras is a time when everyone in the school can get together and meet each other. It ' s when our spirit shines the bright- est,” says senior Angie Kelley. Mardi Gras once again proved to be a success, filled with creativity and spirit. “Board Games” was selected as the theme for wall building which started October 6. Advisers Ms. “Knapper” Knapp, Mr. A1 Lewandowski, Ms. Olga Cantu and Ms. Lynn Assaf all arrived bright eyed and full of excitement at 7 a.m. on October 15 for the final contest - wall building. The seniors prevailed with a stunning representation of “Dungeons and Dragons.” Second place was taken by the freshmen with “Oper- ation.” “Crossbow ' s and Catapults” took third place for the sophomores. The juniors came in fourth place with “Hungry, Hungry Hippo.” Participation, hard work, and cooperation, along with the music of DJ, Mike Choiniere, helped make wall building a smashing success. Spirit week put Mardi Gras in full swing. The days were College and Sport, Twinkies (a new addition). International, Camping and Stuffed Animal, and the traditional Blue and Gold Day. What was senior Stacey Teufel ' s favorite day? “Twinkie Day! Mindy Robbins and I dress alike anyway, so we decided that we might as well get points for it.” The climax of Mardi Gras was the dance. with the theme “It ' s More Fun In Cos- tume.” The Student Council held a drawing and awarded prizes. Best Costume was awarded to Mark Schmidt, dressed as the Pope. Mark won a free limousine ride tc take him and three friends to lunch during school hours. The dance had the largest number of people dressed in costume thar any other Mardi Gras Dance in the history of Northern!

Beyond reality lies the world of “Dun- geons and Dragons,” the senior class choice for Mardi Gras wall competition. The se- niors put a week of hard work into the pro- duction of the masterpiece. At Carlene Green’s home artistic seniors worked on the detailed backdrop. The magnificent dragon was built at Chad Konkel’s home, and Mike Appel’s home served as the building grounds for the great Lizard Man. Saturday, October 15, marked the final day of the wall competition in which con- struction had to be completed at 4 p.m. sharp. Frantic seniors ran around adding final touches before the judging. The fin- ished product outshined the other walls and the seniors took a barrel ride home! Sophomore Dave Muzzy leaps over the bar while wearing flippers in the Mardi Gras Field Day Games.
