The Excitement Of Comes Alive E ach fall, one week is set aside in order to get ev¬ eryone pumped up for the fall sports season, and most of all, the big football game against our rivals Gar-Field. Ev¬ eryone knows those five intense days as Spirit Week. School spirit was the main agenda for the week with five spirit days, the spirit links contest be¬ tween the classes, the big pep rally, and, fi¬ nally, the Wood- bridge-Gar-Field foot¬ ball game. Every st udent was able to show off his true colors with the spirit days. These in¬ cluded nerd day, col¬ lege sweat shirt day, tie dye day, costume day, and, of course, green and gold day. The rowdy seniors ac¬ cumulated the most spirit links, but due to a technicality in how they were accumulat¬ ed, the junior class won the contest. Spirit Week came to its cli¬ max at the Wood- bridge-Gar-Field game where Wood- bridge won 34-14 in Gar-Field ' s Barnette Stadium. Getting into it! The seniors let their rowdiness come alive dur¬ ing the pep rally. Pep rallies al¬ ways charged students up for the different sporting events. What a Nerd!

wr Double The Double The Fun T hey look I nothing I alike. There is no way that those two are twins, or I can ' t tell them apart, no matter how hard I try. Either way, twins are a fairly unique sight in any school. There are sixteen sets of twins roaming the halls. Some are identical, but a majority are fra¬ ternal. Twins in action! Shawn and Dawn Winslow do their part to help decorate the school by painting a mural outside the his¬ tory pod. Both girls were very talented artists. Twins seemed to have a special bond between them. They often shared interests, and other talents. They all say that most of the time, it is fun to have a twin. There is always a per¬ son to talk with or to share clothes with. With all the fun, there are a few problems with being a twin. Jen- Doubletrouble . . . The twins take time out of their schedules to pose for a group picture. There were more than sixteen sets of twins roaming the halls and confusing friends all day long. nifer Harris com¬ plained, I hate it when people call me my sis¬ ter ' s name. When a good friend of mine calls me Allison, it gets on my nerves. Mistak¬ en identities and hav¬ ing people think that you and your twin share the same per¬ sonality was always a pain. Nobody can pull a good prank better than a set of identical twins. All the fun and all the problems — they were all part of being a twin. Twins

% B . f Going for the title of iTUwfitLrjidd. D uring Spirit Week, Woodbridge stu¬ dents are treated to a very special annual event. Yes, it ' s the tra¬ ditional Miss Gar-Field contest. Each year, Gar-Field provides us with the true beauties of their school so that we may crown one of them with the presti¬ gious title of Miss Gar- Field. Gar-Field ' s nomi- ness for the 87-88 con¬ test were truly stunning young ladies. The freshmen were repre¬ sented by Juan Mor- tensen. The sopho¬ more nominee was Alex Carter. Pete Goodchild was the strikingly beautiful junior candidate, and the al¬ ways stunning Jay The Big, Burly, Beauty Brown was the senior class nominee for Miss Gar-Field. The pep rally at the end of Spirit Week was the forum for the Miss Gar-Field selection. The nominees paraded around the gym dis¬ playing their form and grace for all students to see in hopes of winning the impressive title. Se¬ lection of Miss Gar-Field was based on the ap¬ plause of the students. Due to the overwhelm¬ ing support for both the senior and junior candi¬ dates, a tie was de¬ clared. So the illustrious title of Miss Gar-Field went to the burly beau¬ ty of Jay Brown and Pete Goodchild. f f Ms. Gar-Field is a great tradition here at Woodbridge. I screamed my head off vo¬ ting for Ms. Gar-Field during the pep rally. I know the sen¬ iors won this year. There ' s no way that there was a tie for it. Even though the seniors were cheated out of a win, I enjoyed it. 5 5 Matt Tamez Q Q I thought the Ms. Gar- Field contest was pret¬ ty funny. The guys run¬ ning for it looked awful the way they were dressed up. I don ' t think there should have been a tie in the contest. The juniors should have won it.
