HIGH SCHOOL This is Radford High School — it is a group of brick buildings made up of halls, windows, doors, and walls. It contains classrooms and desks, books and lockers, blackboards and erasers. Outside there is a flag pole, a steep hill, an assortment of new white benches, a full parking lot, and a view of Memorial Bridge. Inside there are people . . . young people, adults, and many in between . . . people laughing and talking . . . people worrying about a science project or hanging up a varsity jacket, or spending an hour in penalty hall . . . people learning . . . people growing . . . people graduating. One after another they leave and others take their places. But the building remains. Its walls echo the sounds and sights of their presence: a bulletin board containing the remnants of an election poster ... a glove left behind at the junior-senior prom lying on the lost and found table ... a book collecting dust on the top of a locker. These are tangible qualities of the spirit and en- thusiasm of these people. This spirit is a collection of attitudes and feelings. It is a teacher grading test papers ... a student taking notes ... a ballgame . . . a hop on Friday night ... a cap and gown ... a class meeting. This is the SPIRIT of RHS.
