It went by so fast | didn’t see it.”’ ‘There it goes again!” “Hey, it’s slowing down to stop. It’s Ritchie Floyd!” Ritchie began rollerskating at the age of seven at Spinning Wheels Skating Rink in Shelby. He didn’t go regularly until Rollerama Skating Rink opened in Polkville near his home. One night a man came to Rollerama to try to get a speed team started. Ritchie raced and the man asked him if he’d be interested in being on a speed team and Ritchie said yes. So at the age of 13 he was on the newly formed team. Later, Kate’s Skating Rink opened in Shelby and Ritchie started going there and became a member of their Speed team. Now at the age of 18, Ritchie puts competition and practice at the top of his | list; ‘| don’t let other things interfere with | my skating. | put practice and competi- tion first. That’s about all | do. | get around other things somehow,’’ com- mented Richie. He practices before meets on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 5 p.m. until 7 p.m. Exercising includes jogging and leg presses. ‘’We’re supposed to be ona balanced diet, but | don’t stay on it. | stay on junk food.” There are around fifteen members on Kate’s Speed Team. It is divided into Class A (experienced skaters) and Class B (skaters with less experience). When Richie was in class B he competed about once a month. Now in Class A, he com- petes at big meets about once every three months. Ritchie isn’t always satisfied with his speed. ‘I usually win first place at small meets; but at big ones it’s usually fourth place. ‘I feel that | don’t always do as good as | know | can at big meets.”’ When asked if he considered himself a ‘pro’ he quickly answered, ‘‘Heck No!” 134 Seniors

Like Father — Like Son Like father like son. Mark Southard first got interested in music when his fa- ther encouraged him to join the band in the seventh grade. Mark’s father played the trumpet so it’s only right that Mark should follow in his footsteps. He is first trumpet in Burns Band and is often called upon to play solos during the marching season. Mark was the only senior chosen for the All-State-Band. Auditioning for All- State Band, Mark played a prepared piece, scales, and sight-read. He was also chosen to attend Governor's school in Laurinburg, South Carolina, during his senior year. While there he played classi- cal music and played in the orchestra. Besides being in the Burns Band Mark is a member of the Jazz Ensemble, which goes around playing for clubs and orga- nizations. Mark has been a member for three years. Recently Mark joined the chorus. He is the only student that is in both the band and the chorus. | got interested in chorus because | love to sing and | sing in church,’ commented Mark. “‘Mr. Rohleder and Miss Taylor have had a strong influence on my music, but it was Mr. Mike Matheny that really taught me to enjoy music,”’ stated Mark. He plans to further his musical educa- tion and become a band director. In his spare time he hopes to continue to write music and play the guitar. Mark also likes fishing, listening to jazz music, and play- ing baseball. Senior Cindy Newton, a member of the Jazz Ensemble, com- mented, ‘’Mark is a really talented person. He has a good attitude toward his music and he works hard.” Senior Barbara Lewis seems to feel that Mark is the greatest. ‘’Mark always works hard at what he does that’s why he’s went so far in music. He is his worst Critica JUNE DENISE PATTERSON — Band 10,11,12; Student Council 12; Spanish Club 10; FHA 12; FCA 10,11,12; Pep Club 11; Beta Club 12. CINDY KAY PENDLETON — FBLA 12; HOSA 12.
