'Spooe' title continues tradition among members of sophomore class Throughout the six years of the existence of Northwest, the sophomores have been called Spoon. Many of Northwest's traditions have come and gone, yet be- ing called a Spooe has survived. It originated when the sophomore class of 1978-79 made a big poster spelling out 'sophomore' in blue and gold letters. The only letters that could be seen from the senior section were the blue letters, spelling out S-p-0-0-e. Hence, the spooe name was developed. Although there were many mixed emotions about being called a fpooe, most sophomores were glad because it gave them a chance to be recognized. Others, however, felt that it was a put down. If being called a Jpooe upset the 1983-84 sophomores, most did not show it. They kept on cheering at pep assemblies, basketball games, and competing in class competitions. They received first place in the Operation Holiday canned food collection. Another Northwest tradition included the Adopt-a-Spooe program. An up- perclassmen adopted a sophomore for the school year. The junior or senior took the sophomore out to lunch and they did other activities with him. The only regret in this program was that some of the sophomores did not get adopted. I felt bad when I left with my adoptor to go to lunch and there were sophomores eating by themselves in the commons, stated Jacque Personne. Those sophomores who were not adopted felt left out. Coach joan Krack suggested having junior and senior classes adopt sophomore classes. That way, no would be left out. Sophomore Michelle Turner commented, I'm looking forward to calling the future sophomores spooer. I like it when they call us Spooes, said Sophomore Tiffany Bales, but not when they are yelling it at us in the pep assemblies when we are trying to do our chants. Northwest's class of 1986 not only cheered on their own class, but the whole school. Sophomores were involved in many of the activities and were supportive of the athletic teams as well as their studies in academics. ' -Chris VonBurkleo
