students flaunt the necessary rags, thraugh an extended spirit week

by Sarah Jo Hewett

After almost four decades, the grounds for spirit week

hove hod minimal alterations. It was once celebrated before

the homecoming basketball game and is now right before

homecoming football games. The only other difference would

have to be the guidelines for dress. Apparently students have

become more risque in what they wear.

Through it all. several days have remained the same,

even with restrictions, and tew have been added. With

that in mind the pep club decided to put a new spin

on it. Between two weeks there would seven days of
havoc, the first traditional days, while the second would
be the fresh ones of our decade.

“We really wanted it to be a unique combination

of all the days that have made an impression on spirit

week considering it was the 50th anniversary", said

senior Breanna Hofer.

The first week consisted of Color, Tacky. Toga, and

Decades Day. Color day was when students battled it

out to see which class would come together and wear

their sea of color.

“It was nice to be able to walk the halls and know which class

kids belonged to, and of course the junior girls looked the best",

said junior Taylor Barrow.

Separated by mass, students had to take a break during the

week, but when toga day rolled around, the administration was

on the lookout. Luckily girls wore leggings under their sheets and

boys were required to wear t-shirts.

“Leggings kind of threw my whole look because we all know

that Greeks didn't wear them", said senior M arisol Hernandez.

Then came the absolute classic, decade's day. The ironic part

was we were celebrating the generations that preceded us at

Bishop McGuinness. Starting with the sixties, every class had a

decade and had to show off what they thought students would

wear in that time.

“Sophomores had eighties and I absolutely loved representing

it with neon colors and sweat bands”, said sophomore Natalie

Curnes.

The second week was all about us and not the past. We

kicked it off with pajama day, of course on Monday.

“The best day ever” said freshman Caroline Valitutto, “I just

loved being comfy all day".
Following, was the newly created. Perfect Pair Day. The Pep

Club wanted something new and decided being matched in pairs

would be really fun and a great way to get creative.

Finally, on the Friday before the big game was Spirit Day.

Everyone was really pumped to go all out until the administration

crushed our hopes for the day with an unsightly gray t-shirt. O f

course we all wore them and ultimately it wasn't that bad. It was

and Katherine Watkins take it back to seven zero. Spirit week or weeks held up the tradition of having fun.

and they aren't dressed up. being able to not wear dress code, and of course showing your
ability to go all out.
