From banana splits To bonfires, it was heers, contests, and days to let your hair down. That described Septem- ber 22-26, otherwise known as Spirit Week. Spirit Week preceded Homecoming Sep- tember 27. It was the time to kick back and have fun. Teachers also didn't give students as much homework. Mr. Rod McKinney said, I was aware of it and tried not to get carried away. Each class designated one day of the week as its dress-up day. The freshmen de- cided to make Tuesday 'Socks and Shades Day. Wednesday the sophomores desig- nated their day as L'Generic Day, or ali Black and White Day. Thursday the ju- niors chose boxer shorts and college sweat- shirts. Friday, Wild Life Day, was decid- ed by the seniors. Most people dressed up Friday because they wanted to be a little crazy. Jr. Laura Struckman said, It is something different to wear. It makes your life exciting. During Homecoming Week, there was always something going on. During the day there were special activities, including a Tuesday banana split eating contest won by the seniors. On Wednesday, there was a legs contest. The varsity soccer team was TRYING TO CATCH a glimpse of the legs contest, Sophs. Kim McWilliams and Brandon Coors crowd into the cafeteria.
