Sophomores show most spirit Holly Meek really got into Alien Day. It was hard to tell it was Cindy Cantrell in the bee keepers outfit. said Sally Harring- ton dressed as Super Girl Toga Day is my favorite, its really wild, said Patty Poppe The idea of spirit week is to foster school spirit, unity and to have fun, fun, fun, said cheer- leading sponsor Linda Frestel. Every year the cheerleading squads sponsor such a week to kick off the sport's seasons. I think it's one of the best spirit raisers we have here. Dressing up makes you want to come to school and see how ridiculous the rest of the kids look, said cheer- leader Cindy Moise. The themes were: Monday - Hawaiian Day, Tuesday - Toga Day, Wednesday - Alien Day, Thursday - Yuppie Day, Friday - Orange Blue Day. The sophomore class was awarded a plaque for being the most spirited. They had the greatest percentage of students dress in costume. Spirit Week 9

Coronation gets late start Several days before home- coming, rumors were flying that homecoming was going to be canceled or the coronation would be moved to Saturday or the coronation was going to be held at 6:30 rather than after the basketball games. The problem centered around the fact that Karen and Patty were on the girls' basketball team and they were playing for first place in the St. John's tournament that night. “It was going to be such a tight schedule to get back and be dressed for the coronation when we didn't begin playing until 8:30. Mrs. Frestel and Coach Gregston were looking for other options for the coronation, said Patty. The inconvenience was felt by candi- dates Carolyn Sidwell and Shelly Van Hook who each had large numbers of relatives and friends planning to attend the corona- tion at 9:30. “I had relatives flying in from out of town and couldn't get here by 6:30, said Shelly Van Hook. After much dilemma the time was adjusted to start the J.V. at 6:30 instead of 6 p.m. J.V. boys beat St. Johns 57 to 38 and Varsi- ty tromped the lions 74 to 34. The boys game ended at 9:30 and the crowd had to wait an hour and fifteen minutes for the coro- nation to begin. The girls took second place. Because of the late hour, the homecoming dance was only held from 11 to midnight. The fee charged for admission was can- celled. Its fun to get all dressed up for dances because there are very few.” said Jenny German Lets go eat some pizza after the dance.” suggested Tammy Powell. Homecoming 11
