e ' v e Cowboys, gangsters, flappers, poodle skirts, leather jackets, flower-children, and green and gold. All this was seen dur- ing the week of October 18-October 22, commonly known as Spirit Week. Spirit was the time for students to show off their pride and spirit. One favorite day was the Fifties Day. Everything from the basic poodle skirts, ponytails, and sweaters to leather jackets and jeans were seen. Dur- ing the lunches a dance contest was held to the swinging, sock-hop music of the Fif- ties. Around the dance contest a hula- hoop contest was held. Everything from one to six hula-hoops were twirling on a person. Patrick Henry students seemed to enjoy the Fifties Day especialy and showed spirit and enthusiasm by partici- pating in these activities. Besides Fifties Day, people participated in Western Day, Twenties Day, Sixties Day, and Green and Gold Day. In the Quad, during both Got Spirit lunches, Spirit Week dress-ups were fol- lowed by dance contests, square-dancing, music, and the class competitions. As one student said, HThe themes were a little difficult to find costumes for. Another student said, People who participated N here could have been more participa tion. had fun, but there could have been more participation.

This young boy was referring to the first Homecoming Community Parade that expanded the regular parade to the residen- tial streets. This new idea was accredited to Minnie Park, Brian Wolf, and Melissa Oppen- heimer, who were in charge of the event. These three students arranged for Susan Far- rell to be the grand marshall, mapped the new parade route and the order of the events. Tammy Haenel, said, A'The commu- nity parade is a great idea and it brought Patrick Henry's spirit out into the communi- tyf' The parade went around the streets of San Carlos and finally to the stadium. Another tremendous part of the parade were the floats. Sharon Merrow, chairperson of the floats committee, contacted all clubs, organizations, and teams and encouraged them to participate in the parade. A new club that participated in the parade was the Sons of Liberty Studs, prancing around in their pink shirts and bermuda shorts. For awards, the Aerospace Club received the Most Cre- 74 Activities ative Float award, and the Junior Class re- ceived the Best Class Float and the Princi- palls Choice awards.
