Zany outfits, funfilled festivities and a recess from the monotony of school best describes spirit week. The last few weeks of school are study, study, study. Final exams are just days away, and our minds are filled with facts we ' ve learned all year. But wait! Relief is in sight! It ' s spirit week! On the final day of spirit week, we bring it all to a climax with a spectacular assembly. The Freshmen, Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors compete in the games. Former Senior Jim Nutt wets our appetite with a furtive attempt to eat a Hostess pie faster than the digestive system works. Scott Damascke showed Junior strength, endurance, and speed in the dan- gerous scooter roll. Far left, Ron Leverenz represented the Freshmen class in this fashionable event and models his chocola te pie outfit. Above, Mr. Richards declared him a sure winner at the scale with Wayne Schatzberg, another Freshman agreeing, as former Senior Steve Phillips and Junior Maryann Kruse record his winnings. Finally, top right, this event is the balloon breaking contest, where balloons are tied around the waist and others must break them without using their hands. Juniors, Mary Crimmins and Julie Stone, joined together in a desperate attempt to save their balloons. Spirit Week 83 13

Time Off — Homecoming The Sophomore class puts in all their effort in the tug of war. Juniors Michele Pontack and Anne Briedenich struggle down the course for the three legged race. Freshman Freeman Franks, Sophomore Bob Bennett, Junior Tammy Zinzo and Senior Steve Emery try to inhale more hamburgers than their other opponents. Junior Janette Kulka attempts to catch an unbroken water balloon. Luckily, she succeeded. Senior Colleen Mullins has a disgusted look on her face as she catches an egg for the egg toss. Overall the Juniors took 1st. The sun was shining — ALMOST as bright as our spirits! It was the Fall games — annual homecoming spectacular. The juniors triumphed over all, much to the disappointment of the other classes. As freshman Dyanna Lathrop put it, I was pretty embarrassed that we lost! Winning the water balloon game started the Juniors off as they took the lead. Sophomores caught up fast by winning the hamburger eating contest. The seniors made it a three way tie as they won the egg toss. The tug of war and three legged race were swept by the Juniors. The sophomores finally took the wheel barrel race. The student games make homecoming something more than just a football game and a dance. They show student involvement and bring the kids closer together, remarked Mr. Burgess. 14 Games Day
