Though Spirit Week is entertaining for its participants, SGA members are interes- ted with the more serious aspects. A fundraising event of this capacity requires careful and endless planning. SGA held several meetings to discuss what pariphenalia to sell and what type ofdays to dress-up for. Finally, after narrowing the suggestions down, the members vote. This year, when the votes were tallied, it was decided to sell items such as class buttons, Raider buttons cowbells, t-shirts, key chains, and dog tags Spirit Week ran from October 13-17 Each day had a certain theme.

Looks like potato weather to me. During Spirit Week, everyone was encouraged to participate, from the students to teachers and other faculty members. Here, librarians Barbara Deese, Sandra Collins, and Magenta Donnell show their spirit by participating in Farmer Day, one ofthe more popular days during Spirit Week. The most favorite dress-up day, however, was Red and Black day. Photo hy fl. Carithers. ,w ii' ,,QQ -1 ff W trtr if gy ..,i 4 . , , T S, i ssst i -. T 4 .
