An Overhead View . . . What is Reddie? There is a spirit that hovers over Henderson: The spirit of warmth and friendliness of every- one who is a part of Henderson. People call it the Reddie Spirit. The people who are a part of that spirit are Reddies. The question, What is a RED- DlE?, has been asked over a mil- lion times by freshmen, upper- classmen, parents, and fans at ev- ery Henderson sporting event. Ev- eryone is sincere in asking the question and for want of a concrete answer. Everyone except the fans of the other team who may be im- plying that H.S.U. does not have a true mascot. The origin of today's Reddies began somewhere around 1908. This is documented in the book, Henderson State College: The Methodist Years, which was writ- ten by Dr. John Gladden Hall, a his- tory professor at Henderson. In the initial edition of the Oracle a Henderson student named the football team the Red Jackets. Of course, this evolved to the Red Men, then eventually into the Reds Today's Reddie 18fAny Way You Look at lt f ..-A. J. evolved from Reds simply be- cause it fit the songs and rhymed better in the cheers. Through the years sports writers have tried to give the Reddies other names such as Redskins, Indians , and Big Red, but the old faithful Reddies has forever held fast and true. As for the true mascot of Hen- derson, stand up and feel proud that we are unique in having a spirit for a mascot. If that doesn't work, there's always the Reddie Rooster. Busy as bees - Reddie students are mill- ing around before going to class. ,Q ,.. I ' yu . ..o-,- ' fl -574,-gf T- 'T' - al VN KY 4 'S Spirit shining through - The guy had to it!

He would like to ask her to dance, but he's afraid of a turn down. So he keeps talking to the buddies and dancing occasionally with a couple of girl-friends. 11:15 - Gosh, it's hot in there, he thinks as he steps outside. The buddies are beginning to rib him about asking her to dance, but he smiles shyly, ignores the cuts, and tries to change the subject. I 7:36 a.m. - the alarm goes off for the third time - Just one more time, that's allg then l'll get up, thinks Robbie Reddie as he snuggles back under the covers into the warmth of his comfy dorm bed. 7:45 - Oh, great! Just enough time to get to Caddo and sign in for breakfast with Coach -time enough for a t-shirt, jeans, and cap to go over the nice hair. Good grief, it's too early! 8:00 - Good, signed in just before Coach left - no extra laps for me to- day. Still plenty of time for break- fast. But who's in the mood for powdered eggs? So, it's back to the room and nap time 'til class time. ' 8:47 - Up and at 'em for the second time. He brushes those ivories, slaps the hat back on, and it's the rat race down the hill to WeIl's. 8:50 - Searching for a place to park. 8:59 - Strolling through door just as name is called. 11:50 - Searching for a parking place and finally finding the perfect one. 12:03 p.m. - Scanning Student Union for reluctant followers to the 20fAny Way You Look at lt Caddo. 12:07 - Entering Caddo . . . recog- nize aroma. . .exit Caddo. . .coax- ed back in due to lack of funds . . . receive a nourishing meal of a corn- dog and something green. 12:42 - Meanwhile, back at the truck, good news and bad news: a note from a girl, underneath the ticket.

He takes notice of who's there and begins to wonder if he should cruise a while. Sure, why not, he thinks as he whips the car back out onto the road. 10:00 - He's back at the party scene now and he's talking with some Time after time - something that must be done: Another snooze break. 11:55 - Wouldn't you know it, on the way back in the door he meet her on the way out. Oh, well, time for more punch anyway. 12:10 a.m. - He's made up his mind.
