Fantasy could become reality As spirited students became a Rock Star for a Day What other week of the year Could be as exciting as Spirit Week? At no other time do you get to live out the fantasy of dressing like a favorite rock Star, pre- tending to live-in a different time period, or Knowing what colors you will Wear On Friday. For seniors Monday was their own day to show spirit by dressing in tie- dyed shirts. The colors stood out in the halls so everyone knew the seniors were showing their own kind of wild spirit. Time Warp Day, Rock Star Day and Toga Day followed. David Mullenax said he believed, “Spirit Week should be all year and the halls should be dec- orated all year also.” Hall decorations were a big part of the Competition as each class tried to 10 — SPIRIT ASSEMBLY out do the others. In the end it was the seniors who won the Spirit Chain com- petition. On the last day of the competition they appeared to be behind in money collected, but that was only a trick to fool the other classes into believing that the seniors didn’t care about win- ning. At the last minute their money poured in, making them the winners. As the week ended everyone got to show his spirit and his class by wear- ing school colors assigned to each class. The competition between classes was intense, but it was all conducted with fun. How could anyone not have fun when they could show spirit and live out their fantasies? Although they were dressed as Geisha Girls, the Sophomore male cheerleaders looked like Sumo Wrestlers. Chris Shelnutt, Jeremy Spitzer, David Gayhart and David Mullenax get into the Spirit. Shane Kouchinsky, by bidding about $6, got to show his spirit at the Spirit Assembly by putting a Cool Whip pie into the face of Varsity Cheer- leader, Shana Pack. Wil Reid gets set with his proper Japanese Geisha Girl pose before beginning the “Together We Will Fight Cheer.”
