Qualities characteristic of such a leader should include understanding, patience, loyalty to the cause of education, and, maybe most importantly, a sense of humor. The individual who could fill those boots would obviously be of unique character. It takes more than a college cer- tificate or a master’s degree in school law — it takes years of dedication and determination. On top of this, the ad- ministrator needs to earn the acceptance and respect of the student body. Our school is able to boast of such a man who is not sim- ply an employee but one of the roots of what makes us what we are. With his feet firmly established in Raider Country af- ter 19 years, we feel that Mr. John McLean deserves more than the title of assistant principal — he’s our, “Where-would- we-be-withaqut-him man.” For this r students (tk you've freely ait g feeling of self-worth, we proudly and respectfully present this book to you and say, “Thanks, Mr. Mac.” 15 i i i RI er dG 3 DENTS TE ETE

SP-IR-IT; Got spirit, un-huh, Lets here it; Alright! When we came to the high school, we were confronted with a great burst of spirit. As we grew, our spirit grew. When we clap, yell, and stomp our feet, it's for a reason. That reason be- ing, when our attention is focused on our teams, we epitomize the spirit or the word victory. Some of us have more spirit than others, but com- bined, we boost the morale of our Raiders and Raiderettes to victory. . Some have got it and some don't. The rifle core performing during half-time “Hey Johna, the net is the other way.” Sideline suspense. Rodney Lawson says, “look, I’m Tarzan.” 16
