Strange clothes, challenging
games, and fabulous prizes...all
these and more were spotted
throughout the campus from Octo
ber 1 St through the 5th in a yearly
tradition know n as Spirit Week. The
idea behind Spirit Week is to pro
vide an entertaining forum for stu
dents and faculty to participate in
school spirit filled activities. This
year featured a w idc range of activ
ities. During the day, there was
a dress-up theme followed by a
nightly activity during dinner. For
each event, there was a final grand
prize ranging from free games of
billiards to gift certificates at Uncle
Ben's.
The dress-up days ran from
Monday straight to Friday. The
days included Twin Day, Patriotic
Day, Twacky Day, Formal Day.
Decade Day. Each day there were
two winners. They both received
prizes.
For the nightly games, contes
tants signed up at the door by drop
ping a ticket with their name on it
into a basket. At 5:30, five names
were drawn to participate in a phys
ical challenge. Monday’s game was
a race to see who could scoop

The Whetstone is beginning a
new policy for our student paper.

must respect this. Therefore, from
