September Brings Changes In August the football, vol- leyball, and cross country teams began their seasons. In Septem- ber the doors of school were opened and students and staff began another school year. As students entered the building on the first day of school, the building looked the same, but the attitude of the students was more positive. Speaking as a proud adminis- trator. Principal Eugene Austin remarked, I feel this year is the best turn out in ten years. The new school year brought with it several changes. There were seventeen teachers who were new to the school. Mr. Li- gon Drane became the new vice-principal. CASPER, a computerized attendance program that was used on a trial basis last year, became a permanent program this year. A new football stadi- um was ready for home games when the season opened. A new busing system began this year. Instead of using Met- ro buses, a fleet of yellow buses transported students to and from school. The opening of school was a pleasant blend of the old and the new. Carrying books from the bookstore to the classroom, Paul Miles, senior, Ken- ny Riggens. junior, and Ed Darden, sen- ior, leisurely stroll down the hall. With textbooks and notebooks in hand, sophomores Patti Floyd and Jennifer Spencer hurry to get to class on time. Going over an assignment with her class, English teacher Mrs. Barbara Rice seems at home in her new sur- roundings. I — 10 Opening of School

It was perfect football weath- er, and the ' Skins were ready. Then the team scored its first touchdown, the fans went wild. The band played, the cheer- leaders danced, and the crowd was on its feet. Band me mber Ron Winkler, senior, expressed what many spectators were thinking. Compared to last year, the spirit was very high. With the spirit so high, it made the play- ers play harder and want to win even more. Although the game was the main attraction for the evening, the half-time ceremony was also exciting and colorful. Sen- iors Steve Cox and Kristie From the sidelines, team members shout words of encouragement to their teammates on the field. Schwert were crowned king and queen. When the Redskin team took the field after the half-time fes- tivities, they did so with a new- ly-found sense of confidence. They had to hold the state- ranked Ritter Raiders for two more quarters. And hold them they did! As the final seconds ticked off the clock, the score- board said it all. The Redskins had shut out the Raiders 25-0. Principal Eugene Austin had praise for the students. I felt better this year than ever be- fore. There was more red and white in the stands, and I was really proud of the way the stu- dent body handled themselves. Obviously pleased about their corona- tion. Homecoming King Steve Cox and Queen Kristie Schwert smile for their official portrait.
