Spirit Week Madness In the light of the waning moon, an extremely large and long snake slithered stealthily. The hiss it gave was that of hundreds of voices screaming and shouting. This was no snake at all, but very many Spaulding students running, walking, crawling, or riding on vehicles. Why? Why were so many students rais- ing hell from South Main to an unsus- pecting Grand Union? The answer is simple: Spirit Week. The snakes biting tongue entered the mechanical doors and at once began trashing the giant store. Newspapers, magazines, ground chuck, emerald graped, pop tarts, ovaltine milk crackers, were all sucked up and brought outside. Many cereal quantities were poured over those brand new red and black shiny shopping carts which were driven under a group of flat bed trucks waiting in a lot for their owners . .. who would arrive 15 minutes later to see nothing but Smurf- berry Crunchies covering the ground.

Saturday there was a parade and dance sponsored by the Boosters Club and an alumni reception in the cafeteria. The homecoming queen was Lori Wil- lard.
