Through the Eyes of an Oklahoman! pirited Days Do ya ' ll dress up for all this? How many people really do all this? Should I dress up? What should I wear? Are ya ' ll gonna ' dress up? ers went out of tiiere way tills year to dress up for Costume day, some even rented costumes. Teachers in OI lahoma ain ' t never did that. THCJRSDAYHawaiin day. Yes, even in These were my first questions as Spirit VJeek came ' round. Weil, ya ' see, bacl home sure we had spirit week, but it was always kinda ' borin ' . So I really didn ' t know what to expect. Here ' s what 1 saw: MOMDAV-Sweats, Shades day and Lick ' em day. Quite a few of ya ' ll had on your sweats and hats, and the cheerleaders sold us all suckers which kept our mouths puckerin ' all day. Them there suckers went a might fast. Dawn Dwyer sold 100 suckers before school even started! TUESDAY-Nerd and P.J. day. Not very many nerds were around, mostly people in their P.J. ' s. One big thing that was in, was them animal slippers! Every- thing from elephants, bear claws and bears to even pigs! Ya ' ll had on long nightshirts, t-shirts, shorts, and even bathrobes. Teddy Bears seemed to be in everyone ' s hands too. WEDNESDAYCostume day. Seemed more as sports day. We had football, base- ball and soccer players. We even had one Scarlett O ' Hara (Renae Clark). The teach- These people must think that they are really in Ha wail, they cant be smiling about being in school Could they? photo Tami Clark Oklahoma we all loved Hawaiin day! The day to sun the bods, wear florescent nose coat, grass skirts, tank tops, flowered shorts and shirts, and towels! People car- ried with them anything from beach balls to lawn chairs. The big thing were them lei ' s, which were sold in the commons for S.25. At that price, they couldn ' t have been no cheaper! FRIDAY-School Color day. Trash bags were given out before school and seemed to be on everyone. Truthfully, I ain ' t never seen no orange trash bag before! The 3rd hour classes with every person in there with a piece of bag on them somehow in someway, won a breakfast. Ya ' know what, 55 classes won! Then came the pep assembly, which was pretty fun. We had one interuptment during the day though, the seniors claimed School Color day as Toga day. But hey, you ' re only a senior once. Huh?! Friday night was even more excit- ing with the game and the Homecom- ing dance afterwards. The dance took place in the commons, which nine-hun- dred students filled up. Senior Class Presi- dent, Robin Dunn, commented on how she felt the dance turned out. I was pleased with the way the dance turned out. Usually a lot of the people who show up for the dance like to stand around and talk, but this year everyone seemed to participate in the fun. Maybe they enjoyed the D.J. I must admit to ya ' ll. Spirit Week here was better than Oklahoma ' s. I was really impressed! — Cheri Hinton © THE BEST OF TIMES
