Without playground equipment though, it can be a lit- tle boring. The Trenton kids were faced with this dilemma at the be- ginning of the year, be- cause to build the new high school, they had to tear down their playground. The par- ents of the children de- cided they would help out the administration by forming a PTO to raise the money for the equipment. The PTO sponsored pizza and chili suppers, dances, cake sales, and even a World Class Wrestling night to raise money.

c After Giving Us The Runaround, We Decided To ATCH THE SPIRIT When having a Spirit Week be- fore Homecoming was an- nounced, who would have thought that it would be a total success?? Day 1 • 50’s Day Monday brought the tardy bell at 8:00 A.M., classroom lectures and throwbacks from the 50's. People ranging from teenybop- pers to Lenny and Squiggy roamed the halls. The guys were seen in the greasy hair, rolled up sleeves, penny loafer attire, while the girls came dressed with pony- tails, poodle skirts and bobby socks. Day 2 • Inside Out Day As far as the 8:00 A M. bell was concerned, Tuesday was just an- other day. But the tardy bell brought all of the students' wear- ing their clothes inside out and backwards. People wore their pants, shirts, socks, and shoes in- side out and or backwards. Some people went as far as turn- ing earrings around, or turning the shoelaces in a shoe. Day 3 • Celebrity Day Not only did Wednesday bring celebrities to school, it also brought many people who didn't care whether or not it altered their normal appearance. Celeb- rities such as Michael J. Fox, Buffy and Hildegard, Betty Boop. Al- falfa, and Cousin It showed up to see what school life was all about. Day 4 ■ Punk Day Thursday really started Wednesday night when students began to look for the clothes. makeup and hairstyles to make them fit in for Punk Day. The halls between classes looked like the New York Subway or L A's famed nightclubs. The rule seemed to be - the more weird the better! Day 5 • Tiger Day Friday brought 3 things to school, the beginning of the weekend, the end of Spirit Week, and Tiger Day. Roaming the halls were the Tiger fans, ready to cheer the teams on to victory. That is really what Spirit Week was all about. Loyalty and pride filled every area of the school building - which indicated that we did catch the spirit. What planet did he come from? won- ders the other students in the hall as Junior Brent Dancer proudly displays his punk hairdo to onlookers. This attire won Brent the Best Costume for Punk Day.
