% 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. They had the most applause Brittany Matthews Spirit Week Miss Gar-Field

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! Senior Pete Vay shows his school spirit on Nerd Day. With five different spirit days during Spirit Week, stu¬ dents were able to show off their school spirit. Senior Todd Whitley gets all wrapped up in the spirit links contest. The huge amounts of links amassed by all of the classes were displayed during the Spirit Week pep rally. Student Life

No Smoke, No Fumes, No Fire ' flo ' fiaa So Why Are We All Outside? N hrrr ... the sound pierces through the building as students slowly make their way out of the school wondering whether it is a real fire or just a drill. Students at¬ tempted to walk quietly and in single file lines out the building safe from any danger. Classes were instructed to stay far from the building until the air horns sounded signaling it was safe to go back inside. ' ' Fire drills became a bother espe¬ cially when they were in the winter time, but I guess they were for our own good, said sopho¬ more Jessica Marsh. Administrators weren ' t the only people who hustled making sure the students were safely out of the building. The Norsemen had to rush out of their classrooms and report to their as¬ signed fire box to see which one was pulled and where the fire may be located. I not only had to avoid hitting people but also the trash cans in the lobby. I was sweating by the time ev¬ erything was under con¬ trol. Fire drills may have seemed to have no meaning and seemed time consuming, but the drills prepared students in case of a real fire and would have been very beneficial in the actual event. The drills should have been taken seri¬ ously, so if there was a real fire we would be prepared and people would know where to go, replied Mr. Don Brown, athletic director. £ Q Fire drills always shook me up. As a Norsemen I had to be ready when the run when the alarm sounded. Before I realized what I was doing I was run¬ ning down the hall to check my box. They always broke the monotony of the school day though. J A.J. Johnson Q Q didn ' t mind the trashcans when there were less than five people in the hall, then I couldn ' t trip over them. After a long period of rain, I hated walking through the hails because I was the one who always got dripped on. Stephanie Hudkins 99 Student Life
