The dress-up days were easy and unusual. The week started off with pajama day, people came in slippers, night shirts, robes and curlers, anything any- one slept in was seen that day. Tues- day brought sweats day and many peo- ple put on their most comfortable sweat-suit, tennis shoes and sweat bands. Sweats day was my favorite because it was the most comfortable, commented senior Kathy Taylor, head cheerleader. Wednesday let students show off their favorite rock group by wearing a T-shirt bought at a concert. Thursday was probably the craziest of all the days. Students and teachers dressed in costumes like gangsters, old ladies, punk rockers and even monstersg this was all for Halloween day. Senior Rick Pontalion said, Halloween day was my favorite, I wore this mask and nobody knew who I was. The week ended with the school members showing their school spirit by wearing the traditional blue and gold. The idea bf spirit week is to pro- mote school spirit, and if you don't promote spirit youire not helping the school,', said Jeff Rogers, senior. Some people don't choose to dress up for spirit week but that doesn't mean they don't have spirit. It's not like I don't have any spirit, comment- ed senior Jeff Johnson. I have, but my spirit is more like senior spirit. I have my tassle hanging in my car and I have a senior T-shirt I wear, but I don't happen to feel any spirit for school sports, probably because I donit like school sportsfi The cheerleaders provided more pep assemblies this year. Instead of only one like last year, there were three. The main complaint about the pep assemblies last year was that we hadn't had enough and it was all the same old things. This year we had one assembly for the first football game, one for spirit week and one for the first basketball game. We also made pinatas out of the colors of the opposing team and let people knock the dummies down. This had never been done be- fore,'i said Taylor.
