SPIRIT WEEK Pajama craze hits Wearing flannel nightgowns, robes, and lugging their teddy bears and worn stuffed rabbits, students milled around in the halls September 27-30. Was it a massive sleep-in strike organized by the students? No? Wait! As a teacher in red pajamas and fuz- zy slippers entered the classroom the situation became clearer with the approaching game against Pearce set for Fri- day. Spirit Week, RHS-style, was underway. Sleep Day lThursdayl and 50's Day lWednesdayl were favorite days for dressing up. '50's Day is more like a nor- mal day because all the 50's style is really today's style, said junior Gary Holley. I liked the time period and the music from it, added junior Chris Foley. Fashions like ankle pants, pedal pushers, penny loafers, and cat-eye glasses, popular in the 5O's, could also be seen in the halls this year. Teddy bears, which celebrated their 83rd birthday, not only made headlines interna- tionally but also made numerous guest appearances on Sleep Day. 16 f Student Life Sleep Day is the most original. Everyone had something to wear, says senior Valerie Powell. It was cute seeing everyone in their pajamas, said Carla Means. What was the purpose of all this craziness anyway? Seeing everyone dressed up showed the team everyone was behind them, says Powell. The team enjoyed it and it gave the team courage, said Sophomore Terrilyn Chester. Even though some opinions were positive, some didn't feel enough people dressed up for the occasion. t'There wasn't enough spirit, says junior Jelia Wright. And others agreed that perhaps a few changes should be made. Have Spirit Week during Homecoming Week and more people would dress up, sug- gested Holley. We should change 50's Day and Western Day to something else, said Powell. The student body should get more involved, said Means, and they should give a prize to the best dressed. - Angela Barrett Juniors James Oakry and Troy Marsh l jam to the music played by the Golden Junior Jon Karp munches on his lunch, Eagle Band at the Peel-ee Pep Rally on unaware of the stares he receives during Colors day.
