Spirit Week Triggers Controversy Spirit Week was held Jan. 13 through Feb. 3 and the Spartans went through several crazy antics to prove they had spirit. Tuesday was “Pop Em Day” and “Behind it all, Spartans are the Best.” Students wore and popped balloons all day, and wore sunglasses. Wednesday was “No One Can Match the Spartans Day” and students wore mis-matched col- ors and clothes. Thursday, famous stars of the 70’s and earlier crowded the halls on the “Spartans are Superstars Day.” Also on Thursday Pep Club chose candidates for Mr. and Miss Spirit. The nominees were seniors John Gimple and Racinda Stuard: juniors Pete Guccione and Debbie Theoto- katos; sophomores Randy Kapushion and Renee Piper; and freshmen Scott Breunich and Louise Leo. Friday was traditional “50’s Day” with an abundance of lipstick, hair grease and leather jackets. Controversy arose Friday when the traditional Spirit Week assembly was changed. In previ- ous Spirit Week assemblies an overall Mr. and Miss Spirit were chosen and prizes were pre- sented to the best dressed of each day. This year the assembly was cut down to 15 minutes with just enough time to mention the nominees for Mr. and Miss Spirit and a few cheers. Reason for a short assembly was that wrestlers had to leave early to go to a tournament in Buena Vista.
