SENIOR SPIRIT DAYS- An anticipated tradition for all Wauwatosa West seniors. The week started off with two traditional spirit days: Risky Business and Goth day. The seniors enthusiasm for their theme days was high. On Tuesday, seniors walked in with thick eyeliner,  fishnets, and a death glare. For many, Goth day was the most anticipated theme day of the week.
[Im excited for] Goth day because Im already pretty goth so I could go really really goth on this day, said senior, Hannah Kabelowsky. Year after year, seniors take Homecoming spirit week to the next level. And this year was no exception.
