Supporting the football team and showing spirit were what Spirit Week was all about. Along with Spirit Week came Secret Pals. Football team members received gifts such as can- dy, stuffed animals, letters, balloons, and flowers. Secret Pals revealed their identities that Friday by wearing the jersey of their “pal.” Robert Carter remarked, “I en- joyed seeing everyone displaying spirit and I especially enjoyed the ’secret pals.™ Spirit Week got started on Monday with Twin Day, when friends dressed alike. This year's Spirit Week took a time-out on Tuesday for Election Day, which was a school holiday. But things got back in full swing Wednesday with Hawaiian and Hats and Shades Day. Tropical fruit, trees, and flowers were seen on hats, shirts, and even pants. Students were required to purchase a ten-cent permit to wear hats and shades and the proceeds went toward financing the senior trip. Thursday was Dress-Up Day and- students donned their Sunday best, Hightop tennis shoes, jeans, and t- shirts were cast aside and the suits, ties, and dresses were brought out of “retirement.” In order to help fi- nance the senior trip, the senior class organized a dance on this same day. Admission was twenty-five cents per couple, and students were not ad- mitted unless they were dressed up. Friday was Blue and White Day. The stu- dents displayed their support for the football team's homecoming game against Burke. For the seniors, this was their last Blue and White Day, so they real- ly put forth an extra effort.

Cafeteria Corner The seating scene was, as usual, hectic, noisy, and potentially danger- ous, if a student did not know what he was doing. Over in the corner were huddled masses of freshmen not quite sure where they could sit or if they were even al- lowed to sit. Then there were the middle class- men, sophomores and juniors. They at least knew enough to grab a seat and spread their books around, and if they weren't quite quick enough, they could bluff their way through an embarrassing situation. It was easy to tell a senior from the other class- men. Seniors lounged with nonchai- lant grace, well-versed in the cafete- ria etiquette. They were completely at home in the cafeteria environ- ment.
