Actually, there were five designated theme days designed to promote promote school spirit. Monday was 'Slob Day' when teachers teachers and students alike donned donned ripped track pants, faded jeans and that oh-so- comfortable old flannel shirt with paint all over it. Some students just tumbled out of bed and into the classroom! Tuesday was 'Tourist Day' and the order of the day was Bermudas, Hawaiian shirts, sunglasses and sun tan oil. Red and white were the colors worn on Wednesday which afforded afforded a spectacular sight at the Pep Rally for the Senior Boys' Basketball team. Thursday was 50's day as girls dug in their mothers' closets for circle skirts and crinolines while guys borrowed their fathers' old letterman sweaters and Bryl Cream. Finishing off the week was "Buckaroo Day" when people got out their old cowboy boots and dusted off their ten-gallon hats. There were certainly some wild fashion statements made that week! While theme days increased increased school spirit, activities activities provided diversion and a means of raising money for the Heart Fund.
