Song, Skits and Blood Drive The month of November brought the new singing group the Yearbooks to Spencer High School. Members of the 1979 Spencerian Yearbook Staff created a sales promotion skit to be presented to the student body to kick-off the week of yearbook sales. This year's promotion campaign was a make-believe concert of the Yearbooks consisting of )oni Gardner, Willie Hodge, Debra Hood and Deborah McNealy. They performed songs entitled, Take me to the Yearbook and My Yearbook sure looks good to me . Due to complications the assembly was presented only to freshmen, sophomores and juniors this year, and was held in the commons area. january brought the performance of the Air Force Reserve Show Band to Spencer High School. The forty- member band played contemporary music to the entire student body spread over three assemblies. The first assembly did not respond to the band's encouragement to stand up and Boogie , but the other two assemblies were filled with finger poppin and foottapping response to the music. Visions of Vampires and large needles spectered the minds of many students when bulletin's appeared in hallways advertising the upcoming Blood Drive, which was hosted by the Health Occupation classes of Spencer High School. The Blood Drive was held February 8th, from 8:30 am to 12 noon. There were quite a few brave Spencerians who dared to show their arms. The prerequisites were fairly strict in qualifying students to donate blood to the local Red Cross Association. Restrictions such as: age, weight, parental consent, and health condition had to be compiled with by donors. In spite of these barriers, a large number of students were able to receive the blood donor's decal. 27

28 Carnival, Projects and Sadie Hawkins Week The month of love and romance was filled with many school activities, such as the Sadie Hawkins' week, the World's Fair, and the Science Fair. February was kicked-off by the Valentine candy sale by the Yearbook staff and the carnation sale by the Junior class. The Junior class also sponsored the flamboyant Sadie Hawkins' week which brought out the zany personalities and costumes of many student body members. The participation of the body in the week long activity was far surpassed by any other school activity. For that week each day was designated for a specific costume beginning with Monday — Overalls day, Tuesday — Tacky day, Wednesday — Opposite day, Thursday — 50's day and Friday — Li Abner Day. Each booth represented a different country, and to participate in the activity the currency of that particular country had to be used. A central bank exchanged the American money into foreign currency. Everyone participated in the various activities which ranged from sponge throwing by the Library Club, Mr. Ugly contest by Student Council, Radio grams by the Sparc Club, to computerized banners by the Beta Club. The 2nd annual Science Fair hosted by the physics class of the Science department began with projects created by Mrs. G. Lawrence's chemistry and physics classes. Projects ranging from soil erosion problems to complex atoms were featured and displayed to the student body.
