A THEME A DAY • • Each day of Spirit Week was given a dress-up theme. The week began with 50 ' s Dav. a favorite theme since grade school. Safari Day was new to most students, but somehow everyone who dressed up man- aged to get khaki and leopard skins together to make this day most memorable. Hawaiian Day was the coldest day, but the temperature didn ' t stop the mtrepid Raiders from wearing grass skirts and flow- ers. Crazv Day must have set the communitv wondering, as some strange outfits, indeed, walked down Otterbein on the way to school. Friday was a little bit tamer than the other days because it was Western Day. Students who had not dressed for the other days found the courage to wear a cowboy hat for this one. While the clothes worn during Spirit Week may not have come out of Vogue Magazine, the students who dressed proved to the rest of the student bodv that Rowland does have a certain amount of spirit; that IS needed is a little coaxing, and it will come out (all over t place). al he 256 Spirit Week

A SPECIAL WEEK Spirit Week was a special week this year. While the format of dress-up days and noon contests remained the same, the cor- relating of Friday ' s Western theme. Homecoming activities, and the Homecoming Dance was new. Participation in the noon time activities was at an all time high. Pie Eating. Rootbeer Chug-a-lug, Tarzan Call, Ice Blocking, Limbo, Hoola Hoop, and Bubble Gum Blowing were some of the contests students could enter. While the root beer and pies were delicious, the bubble gum turned out to be a sticky affair. The athletic prowess of many was discovered as they raced across the grass in the Ice Blocking or twirled the hoop on their waist or bent over back- wards to slip under the Limbo stick. The Tarzan call was in a class all its own, though. For it gave some students the chance to relieve their frustrations at school by yelling. When the week was finally pieced together, a picture of a spirited, fun- filled week emerged, one that will be remembered for a long time. Spirit Week 255
