RHS Panthers vs Bishop oll Warriors Tradition is part of any competitive endeavor, and even though the game out- come is determined now, the success of the endeavor, whether in the winning or losing column, adds to future sports records of our teams from whence champi- ons are made. Some lettermen will leave as part of the 1970 graduating class makes its exit. However, replacements are ready to take up the slack and keep our heritage of good sportsmanship at peak performance. It is thus the real victors of games are determined, and the courage, dignity and ego determination builds for future success and prospering. HOMECOMING is a memorable occasion, and the Class of '70 will remem- ber their queens and the fun they experienced with their schoolmates on this particular occasion. YEAH!

An ROTC cadet holds the huge foot- omecoming One of the most exciting and colorful sports spectaculars of the school year is HOMECOM- ING and the glory that accompanies this festive occasion. 1969 was no exception! The parade and game reigned over by Gloria Chisholm Miss Homecoming and Vera Cross, Miss Roos- evelt was a pageantry of success. This year's parade, highlighted by floats rep- resenting school classes and organizations, pre- ceeded the game played at Gilroy Stadium. Much credit must be given the RHS Alumni as each year they help supply materials, cars and floats for the parade. The crowd roared and pulled hard for the RHS Panthers, but the Bishop Noll Warriors were swift of feet, and the string of losses suf- fered an addition as we lost again this football season. We went down under a 39 to 12 defeat. No parade is complete with- out the starring Golden Girls Ardria Lacefield and Mary Lindsay are the '69-'70 Gold- en Girls.

Wrestling, Golf nd Track Members of the Panther Golf Team: John Stegall. Michael Langford and Jerome Stegall. ,A ,R ,. A' da ' ,e Q f Athletics at RHS are able to make a choice of sports they desire to participate in. On these pages are segments of the Wrestling Team, Golf Team and Track Teams. Citywide meets, state meets and participation in meets of other states occupy much of the time of these teams. The Wrestling team must couple much brawn and brain to win trophiesg the track teams must use fleetness of foot and braing and the golf team must use muscular coordina- tion with brawn to bring to the school many of the trophies that are on display in the main floor showcase. Much practice is required by these teams. The members give up other favorite after school activities to report for practice and keep in top physical condition. After school practice of the track teams takes place indoors on bad weather days. Runner Bruce Leek is watched by team- mates Ronald Jones and Tom- my Barnes. -ll! L Y 7 gl Y
