iN RATS-EXHAUS TED SENIORS- TRIUMPHANT Hair braids, red lipstick and mismatched shoes were the normal dress code during rat week. Ninth graders were seen on their knees, backs, stomachs and rears, but seldom on their feet. They counted bricks while riding their trucks and they even proposed marriage to the most unlikely candidates. Seniors were out for fun with vengeance. Homework was for- gotten as Seniors spent most of their nights thinking up suit- able stunts for their ‘‘Rats’’ to do. At the end of the three days, the Rats were exhausted and the Seniors were triumphant. Although rat week was set aside mainly for the benefit of Seniors and Freshmen, every- one was invited to participate in Spirit Week. Sophomores and Juniors got into the act by wear- ing their favorite hats and cost- umes as well as traditional blue and white on the designated days. Many smiles were seen around the school as everyone modeled their favorite far-out “Spirit Days’’ outfits. ALTHOUGH PERFORMING AN UNWANTED TASK, Becky Stinnett grins in spite of herself. SHOWING OFF HIS EARRING, Bruce Hawes enjoys Rat Week. POSING AS MR. COOL, Doug Hamil- ton waits for his next class.
