School Spirit O nce again this year the spirit of S.W.H.S. filled the hallways during the week of November 2-6. The ju¬ niors led the student body in the daily activities. Monday re-ad¬ dressed last years idea of a hat and shades day”,and Tuesday was backwards Day”. Sloppy clothes came out in full force on Wednesday. What was your fa¬ vorite occupation? Thursday was the day to dress up in work clothes. Priests, nuns, dancers and McDonalds employees, just to name a few, showed up at S.W.H.S. To close our week Ma¬ roon and Gold Day” continued as part of the spirit week tradi¬ tion. A pep rally ended our school day, Friday, with a bon fire taking place later in the evening. The homecoming game was played Saturday against Rock¬ ville- S.W.H.S. crushed the rams 33-9. After the boys got off the field the senior girls won the powder puff game against the ju¬ nior girls. To end up the week, the stu¬ dents converged at the come together” homecoming dance dressed in mini skirts and bell- bottoms, tie-dyes and bandanas. The theme was, of course, the 60 s- peace, love and a good time for everybody involved in spirit week. Students rise to the occasion, as the cheerleaders make their rounds in the gym at the first Pep Rally of the year before Homecom¬ ing. A student watches with uplifting spirit as the band plays The Star Spangled Banner at the Pep Rally. A touching moment for all. Student Life 11

This is ... Working J obs, they ' re great! The money, the new friends, and the inde¬ pendence. Well, the money is nice to have, but....is it really worth the effort? Those with good salaries usually say, Yeah, man, it ' s cool , and those of us who get paid didily squat might give a different reply. The friends...well... that de¬ pends on whether you like the people you work with or if you just put up with them because you like your pay- Mike Conroy, one of SWHS ' s finast counts the cold hard cash of the day ' s receipts. check at the end of the week. Then, of course, there is the first time your work schedule conflicts with your social schedule. That ' s when you hit the ask-off book ' ' A.K.A., the excuse book . Mow I don ' t know if you have one of those at your place of employment (the concept is fairly easy to understand - it is merely a book in which you ask off certain days from work ). Where 1 work the book gets used quite a bit. There is also a little mat¬ ter of your boss . That of¬ ten evil person who makes you do what you ' re sup¬ posed to do, and never lets you rest - because there is always something to be done (which happens to be my boss ' s personal favorite saying). I ' m sure you know that feeling (yeah, that ' s right, the one that goes along with the fake smile) when the boss comes out of hiding - oh I mean out of his office and asks if everything is done and put away. Then you start wondering if you remembered to do this or if you did that right. Eventual¬ ly you get to go home and relax and hopefully forget all about your day at work. Student Life 13
