Homecoming Dress Up Days 2010

By:Desiree Harr

Sparta Spartans show more spirit in homecoming 2010 dress up days in the school district than in the past four years. The people go all out in dressing up or don't dress up at all. The seniors and juniors did the best with the dress up the the juniors just barely won the whole competition.

Monday the Sparta Spartans started with professional sports day then led to western day, nerd day, decades day, then finally spirit day. Professional Sports day started off the homecoming week great and had everyone getting pumped for the big homecoming game. Tuesday was the Western Day, people would just keep going into the school with all their flannels on.

Wednesday Sparta pulled their pants up, fixed their glasses, and stumbled in for nerd day. Kristina Stuntebeck, a senior at Sparta High School said, "I like nerd day the best because you get to look like a fool for fun and no one can really judge you on it.".

Sparta traveled back in time to show off the styles from the 60's, 70's, 80's, and 90's. From greasers to preps the styles were groovy on that Thursday. A junior, Paul VanTassel, said,"Decades is probably the best day because the juniors have the 80's and so it's easier to dress up and it's always fun. It's also fun to see how everyone in that decade dresses to see if they dress alike or even people from other decades to see if they have any clue of what went on in that decade. Everyone also always loves Spartan Spirit day though because it gets everyone pumped up for the big game.".All the Spartan spirit came out on the Friday of the Homecoming Game!

For the overall dress up competition the juniors won just by a few points. Seniors were in seconds place with a close score to the juniors. The sophomores did better than they ever have but still didn't quite make it there and freshman were in last place. The years coming up will hopefully keep the tradition going and keep going all out.
