Spirit Week raised the student body's morale and made every- one friendly enough to have a ENCOUNTER A BASKET OF GOODIES. rf? xchangmg gifts at IL5 the Guardian An- gel rally, Jim Fish exam- ines the treats brought to him by his G.A..

How can these outra- geous appearances possibly be tied together? spirit Week! The conclu- sion of Spirit Week showed more stu- dent participation than ever and sub- stantial teacher involvement. Ed Keelin commented, I can't believe how many teachers dressed up. 1 think their activeness really helped get the students involved more, too. Spirit Week began on November 1 Oth with the new twist of 50's Day. Greased back hair and leather jack- ets and poodle skirts and saddle shoes reanimated the soda shop at- mosphere of 30 years ago. The fol- lowing day, peace, love, and tran- quility filled the air as liberal hippies wearing flowers and tie-dyes emerged for 60's Day. The third day found students dressed in stars and stripes as Red, White, and Blue Day unfolded. Such means of participa- tion as painting faces and coloring hair were taken to express one's pa- triotism. Pride in one's school was shown in the conclusion of Spirit Week with School Color Day. Or- ange and blue flowed over campus along with the colorful personalities that make such a spectacular Spirit Week possible. I'm amazed with how well it (Spirit Week) went, re- marked Rhonda Gavel. “The partici- pation was fantastic. By Aaron Fran- cis. Spirit Week 19“ D

The crowd fills the stands as everyone awaits the thrill of the big game. The fans go wild as the Saints enter the sta- dium. Homecoming is about to begin with . . . he tension rose as the fans were cap- tivated by the homecoming spirit. The Saints and the Eagles were both undefeated going into the game, each hoping to win the MHAL title. The players were fired up by a cru- cial play which ended in a 15 yard unsportsmanlike penalty against Coach Lebherz when he told the offi- cial he was blind. I did that on pur- pose to get our guys fired up, joked Coach Lebherz after the game. Exceptional scoring drives were made by Billy Johnson, Danny Aze- vedo, and Chris Clark. Billy caught a 45 yard pass from Craig Whelihan for the first Santa Teresa touchdown, and later ran 67 yards into the end- zone. Azevedo caught a six yard pass from Peter Stapes, and he also made a fieldgoal. Chris Clark ran the ball in for a one yard touchdown run. Danny Azevedo made all the extra points good. Half time activities held a captivat- ed audience speechless. The parade existed of the marching band, the dance team, and the floats were flaunted before the crowds. Finally, this year's court, consisting of Lelisa Wolters, Natasha Thomas, Samatha Day, Leah Edwards, Nicole Frick, Jim Linford, Sam Singer, Sean Chan- dler, Jack Heckerman, and Mel Biggs, was brought out. The crown- ing of Homecoming King Sean Chandler and Queen Samatha Day revealed the answer everyone was waiting for. The game ended with a final score of 31-10, the Saints killing the Ea- gles, enlivening the homecoming spirit even further. Oak Grove Coach Ed Buller stat- ed, They worked hard to earn their 10-0 season. Give them credit. By Marie Bialorucki.
