Super heros and whipped cream Spirit Week was originated to provide a special showcase for students to show their pride and spirit for Rock Island High School. This year found more involved students than ever. Being a nerd was the way to set the week of activities off to a start. Greek gods and goddesses carried on by adding boots to their apparel. Gangsters took Rocky back to the classic look of the 30 ' s for a memorable day. Were they birds ? were they planes ? No, they were Rocky ' s own super heroes! Those Pyramid building is always the favorite lunchtime activity. Eating a pie without a fork wasn’t as easy as Curt Wilson had anticipated courageous students made the halls feel a little safer. Winding up the week, red and gold appeared the only colors created. New lunchtime activities gave students a chance to show off their hidden talents. The pie eating and bubble blowing contest left no room for proper etiquette. Passing a banana between your knees was an oozing process, mean while missing a small water balloon left a few students slightly damp. Getting on top first was the challenge in the pyramid building. Although, tumbling down was a painfull experience many wanted to join in the contest. The senoir class of ' 87 has dominated the Spirit Week award for four consecutive years. Way to go seniors! As long as there is school spirit at Rocky,Spirit Week festivities will never come to an end. Taking time away from doing good deeds, Rory super hero group shot.

Neither Linda Ehrmann nor Shannon Maddox actu¬ ally know what a Maroon is. but does anyone? Capturing the look of the 30 s gave Mary Beth Udy and Richie Ballinger the opportunity to cuddle close. The balloon toss needed a delicate touch and water repellent clothing. The bon-fire gave students the chance to rally be¬ fore the Homecoming game. Opening 5 ■■
