The tradi- tional Spirit Week was undertaken with much enthusiasm by all par- ticipants. The first day of Spir- it Week was a teacher workday. Tuesday turned the population into a mass of mis- matched clothes and outgrown apparel as “Slob Day” began. Teachers were quite outspoken in their par- ticipation on this day. Wednesday brought very unusual guests to the halls as Don John- son, Dolly Parton, and Whoopi Goldberg were a few of the characters present for “Celebrity Day.” Thursday al- lowed the students to show off their eccentic and less accentric tastes for “Hats and Shades Day.’ Stu- dents were required to purchase tickets in or- der to wear these items. The mass participa- tion came on Friday. “Blue and White Day” took place on the day of the Homecoming Pep Rally. Support was overwhelming, not only for the football team, but also for the Band of Blue, who would defend their state championship the very next day. Fredricka Washing- ton sadly commented, “This is the last pep rally, the last spirit week, the last cheer, the last light, and soon to be the last march for the class of “88.” By Garnnette Mosley and Tim Smoak Yalonda Pinckney, Vernisa Bo- dison, and Lawanda Aiken throw a surprise party for Miguel Koger on “Slob Day.” Portraying Whoopi Goldberg on “Celebrity Day” was the per- fect choice for Jr. class comedi- an Terri Siders.
