The guys also noted the people and the spirit and added Seneca's win- ning tradition, the atmosphere around the school and the dedica- tion of the staff. During the week, spirit chains were sold to prove which class was the most spirited. Each class was represented by a different col- ored link, the chains were strung out across the cafeteria and the class with the longest chain won. The seniors again showed their spirit by having a chain that stretched all the way around the cafeteria. On Theme Day, the classes got another chance to show their spir- it. Sophomores could be found in cowboy hats, flannel shirts and jeans, while juniors sported the space look with plastic dresses on the girls and space suits on the guys. Seniors dressed for Hallow- een a little early with scary masks and greusome make-up. The competition was close between the juniors and seniors, but the se- niors won out in the end, giving them a large lead going into Fri- day's float competition. The floats were a sight to see. The sophomores depicted an old fashioned western hayride. Wllul-N Claudia Osorio, Debbie King and Tracy Hanson get Chris Barankavich and his little princess Hope Emerick. psyched for the game aheadl
