Slippers and P.J.'s invaded the hallways turning the school into one big slumber party. Spirit Week had begun! Clinging to Teddy Bears and clothed in night shirts, many students participated in the first day of Spirit Week - pajamaf clash day. For those who did not prefer to wear their night attire, checkered pants, striped shirts, and anything ugly was the dress of the day. On day two, OHS turned the hands of time back to the fifties, and even farther, into ancient Rome - 5O'sftoga day. Found among the leather jackets, bobby socks, and saddle shoes, was the flowing white garb of ancient Romans. Even though they were only bedsheets fsome were even flowered or had Garfield on themj, they showed just how much spirit students had. To catch the spirit on the third day, stu- dents dressed comfortably in sweat shirts and pants, a welcome change from ordi- nary school clothes. Thursday was the day to show that each class did, indeed, have class - dress-up day. There was a different sophistication as students put away their levis and came to school in their Sunday best. Traditionally, spirit week was wrapped up with red and white day, spreading Pirate spirit throughout the entire school. Top. During spirit week, Chris Riebe, Deanna Larson, Marla Callahan, and Amy Deak go back 30 years in history to dress like their mothers did during the swinging 5O's. Above. Not much studying was accomplished the day half the school came dressed in sheets. At least Brian Wheeler and Tim Myers dressed appropriately in white sheets instead of flowers or Garfield!
