The intensity of school spirit is always greater during Spirit Week. Students displayed their high hopes for victory over A. L. Brown by following the days assigned by the Student Government Associ- ation. The planned days were, Nerd Day, Costume Day, ACC Day, Farmers Day, and Red, Black and White Day. Most interesting of the days during the entire program was Nerd Day . The typical attire varied from tweed to polyester, stripes and plaids, to pat- terns that make the head spin. No nerd's wardrobe is complete until ac- cented by a plastic pocket protector, slide rule, fluorescent markers and an extra roll of tape for broken glasses. Costume Day was a new addition for 1987. The day allowed students to show their personal creativity. Cos- tumes were, for the most part, elabo- rate examples of students' bents to- ward the art of costume making. Those exhibited included space aliens, under- water creatures, mice, rock stars, and teacher charicatures. An unsung hero aspect of the week is the responsibility the SGA. Wanda Hall, adviser to the group and SGA officers begin planning early in the school year. Much more than just dress up days are discussed. Thousands of dollars are raised for school improve- ments by the group in designing the class spirit competition. This year the sophomore class led the spirit competi- tion by purchasing the most school spirit related items conjured by the SGA. Points were awarded for each item purchased. Intensity is Spirit Week. During Spirit Week Dre ---- is We Always Dress Up

This group of young ladies does more than answer the phone, however. Much of the school's secretarial re- sponsibility is in their charge. Their school day begins in the early hours as they pick up teacher bubble and contagion sheets from homeroom teachers. The absence information is sorted in the office and passed on to Carol Luther and Sharon Faw for enter- ing into the computer. Having completed this task, the stu- dents avail themselves to the many typ- ing, copying and printing tasks re- quested by teachers. As each task is completed, the aides must submit a copy of the completed work to Miclgie Dial for evaluation. Copies for evaluation are given, also, to those teachers who requested the busi- ness done. The stress for perfection is great, and student performance is at a constant peak. Paper Fun! Mrs. Dial along with her students take time to sort out papers. Office aides are assigned secretarial duties for the school. :mf --Neg.
