Buc Week tradition unlimited uc Week is traditionally a time when students set No limits in demonstrating their school spirit. The en- tire week is composed of fun, frivolity and enthusiasm intended to boost school spirit and pride. The week's activities center around Friday, Satur- day and Sunday with the Buc Dance, the Oswego-Fulton football game and the Powder Puff football game. Buc Week began on Tuesday, October 6, 1987, with Hat and Shades Day. Students came to school with various headgear and ocular paraphernalia. A yearbook poll showed that Hat and Shades Day was one of the most popular Buc Week days, perhaps because students can outfit themselves to look bad, wacky or just plain different. On Wednesday, the most popular event of Buc Week took place: Nerd Day. Students set no limits in dressing in outrageous, out-of-date clothes and ridiculous mismatches. Everyone's favorite nerd was perennial geek Kevin Yosh Sanbonmatsu. Accord- ing to Sanbonmatsu, Nerd Day, in addition to being just place fun, gave him an opportunity to portray school spirit, which I think is lacking at OHS. Although many students did not parti- cipate in Nerd Day, it was one of the funniest and most anticipated of all Buc Week activities. Although Raider Traitor Day was not as popular as the other events of Buc Week, its signifigance was not diminished. As the rivalry in sports between Oswego and Fulton in- tensifies, Raider Traitor Day allows students to turn red for a day and become Fulton fans. Despite outward apearances, however, most students who participated in Raider Traitor Day were full-blooded Oswego fans. Blue and White day was the last school day in Buc Week. Dressing in school colors, students first attended the Pep Rally at Leighton School to cheer on our athletes. Blue and White Day symbolized the pride Oswego High students have for their school and their willingness to display it. Buc Week remained an important part of developing school pride at OHS, as students actively participated in school events. Many people heve suggested that Buc Week be expanded to include other days such as Punk Day, Pajama Day, Sport Day and Reverse Day. Whatever changes are made, it can be assured that students will set no limits in enthusiasm and Sl1pp0I't.4byDarren Crovitz Soccer player Andres LeBaudy and Cheerleader Caryn Miller kiss at the Buc Week Pep Rally. 12 Q Set No Limits

Student ife tudent Life is full of diversity, originality and individuality. With over twenty clubs and organizations to choose from, ranging from art club to ski club to chess club, there is truly someting for the interests of almost everyone. Outside of school, our social lives are limited to a few select things, primarily because of our age and where we live. 1. sQL4,fQ,Af,WM S!1No ' ' Because of this, the clubs within our school strive to make up for this lack of outside activities. Throughout the year, students con- tinue to support the many clubs at OHS and, when the need arises, in- itiate new clubs to suit our needs. Student Life is one part of our school where if you set no limits, the possibili- ties are limitless. .by Eben Norfleet 9414 fZ7fd5l4fZ f ,Zhu-I gash! if WW f ZW W W'MWfM mf S, ,,t, Qwest
