Despite the loss to Page, Whirlie Spirit Week continues to reign as one of the most popular five days of the school year. Student Council members orchestrated a very creative spirit-themed lineup for everyone on campus to enjoy donning themselves in wacky outfits and parading through the halls to express their enthusiasm. Good sportsmanship and school spirit remained intact among all in attendance at Jamieson Stadium.
Monday: For Generation Day, seniors literally dressed as seniors, or old people, while juniors chose costumes typical of adults. Sophomores arrived on campus looking like little kids, and the freshmen crawled in as infants. A new but popular theme choice, one could not help but notice the increased participation for Generation Day as students wore footy pajamas, overalls, high-water pants, and classy business attire.
Tuesday: Flashback Day brightened the halls with funky colors of the 1980s, flower children of the 1970s, and flappers of the 1920s. If visitors did not know better, they would assume they were transported in a time machine.
Wednesday: College Sports Day evoked memories of Clint Eastwood’s “The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly” as NCAA and NFL rivalries took on leagues of their own. Regardless of what teams students represented, there was clearly enthusiasm and spirit as cheering resonated on campus.
Thursday: Page Prep Day, considered most controversial because of students’ costume choices in past years, proved to be a great day. Showing respect for the school’s dress code, students found creative ways to dress to impress their peers without being vulgar or obscene. Instead, they focused on personas of nerds, preps, and scandalous pirates. Dollar bills, fishnet stockings, suspenders, Sperry’s or Jack Rogers, bow ties,
and nerdy glasses were just a few of the accessories showcasing the theme.
Friday: Whirlie Blue and White Day is the easiest day to honor Spirit Week since most students have at least one article of clothing with either the school name or mascot or with blue and white colors. Halls were buzzing with conversations regarding that night’s game against the Pirates.
