FIRST-YEAR IMPRESSIONS OF SPIRIT WEEK 2007<br />
When asked which parts of Spirit<br />
Week were their favorites, many<br />
hands of the new sixth grade<br />
class (Class of 2014) shot up into<br />
the air. Caroline Beardsley said,<br />
“I loved the games at recess —<br />
especially kickball and tug of war.”<br />
Sydney Mann enjoyed working<br />
with her friends to create and<br />
perform a dance for the middle<br />
school skit during pep rally. Jai<br />
Ghose cheerfully added, “No<br />
dress code!” Chris Roser liked<br />
the junior class Harry Potterinspired<br />
quidditch match skit.<br />
During the week of October 8,<br />
the halls of <strong>Newark</strong> <strong>Academy</strong><br />
were transformed into ancient<br />
Egypt (middle school), a jail cell<br />
(freshmen), the arctic (sophomores),<br />
Hogwarts (juniors) and<br />
ancient Greece (seniors) during<br />
the annual celebration of Spirit<br />
Week. In keeping with the<br />
different daily dress themes,<br />
students and faculty alike wore<br />
red and black one day and<br />
clashing clothes with crazy<br />
hair-dos the next. Choral music<br />
director Viraj Lal, a new teacher<br />
at <strong>Newark</strong> <strong>Academy</strong>, said, “It was<br />
so much fun to see the school<br />
so spirited. It was wonderful<br />
that the teachers became so<br />
involved too.”<br />
Spirit Week culminated in an<br />
all-school pep rally on Friday<br />
afternoon and Homecoming<br />
and Reunion over the weekend.<br />
