![[SATIRE] Spirit Week: Written in the Stars](https://www.themuseatdreyfoos.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/front.png)
The second day of Spirit Week, Class Clique Day, had students impersonating high school stereotypes on Jan. 26. Freshmen were nerds, sophomores were preps, juniors were jocks and cheerleaders, and seniors were rebellious youth.
Multiple field events were held where each class competed for points to win Spirit Week. The events included Human Hungry, Hungry Hippos, a Three-Legged Race, a 50 yard dash, a Potato Sack Race, and Tug-of-War. Notably, the sophomores won Tug-of-War, getting redemption against the seniors after a loss last year.
“We had a well balanced team. I felt that we wanted to win, more so, than any other class. We beat the juniors last year and we still believe that we beat the seniors as well last year but they said we lost so we went with it even though it made us upset,” band sophomore and member of the Tug-of-War team Kaleb Marshall said, “So this year we had a huddle before the Tug-of-War match and we said we’re winning no matter the cost. We weren’t losing to the seniors again.”

Competing in Tug-of-War, strings junior Andrew Barrett (L-R), band junior Derrek Brown, and strings junior Camdem Laparche attempt to win points for the junior class.
