With Friends Like These When one thinks about the high school years, they not only look at the sports, academies, and extracurric- ular activities, but they also look at the friendship that goes along with these things. Having special friends is very important to everyone. Not only do friends give one another someone to go to places with, but they also need one another for many other reasons. Going to all the football and basketball games, dances, etc. with friends proves to be a lot more fun than going by yourself. All these special times will be remembered as the funni- est and most exciting times in high school. However, friends do more for each other than just this. Talking with one another about problems, boy- or girlfriends, or per- haps the following night's plans is very helpful and awarding. Throughout the high school years, special friends need one another for many reasons and all these special friendships will always be A shade Above the Rest.

Traditions reflect CLASS Frosh fear some There are many tradi- tions here that students choose to uphold. One may seem frighten- ing to the freshmen, but is mostly for fun. It is the so 'called freshman initiation. Selling elevator tickets and selling swimming pool passes hooks lots of fresh. Ironically, Reitz does not have either one of these things. Another trick up the upper classman sleeve is instructing a freshman Varsity football captains Brian Ashby and Marcus Mayes carry the traveling trophy to the bowl. 16 QStudent Life to the cafeteria when he is actually looking for the gym- The class ring is also a tradition that has been up- held over the years. Not only do students wear their own class rings, but if they have a boyfriend or girl- friend, they may trade. Along with the tradition of athletic excellence comes the battle of the West Side. The prize of the an- nual football game be- tween Reitz and Mater Dei, the only other West Side school, is a traveling tro- phy to the winning team each year. The winner of the game, the year, and the score are all placed on the nameplate of the trophy. Another tradition up- held not only by Reitz Stu- dents but by all West- siders, is the annual Fall Festival. This occurs the first full week of October. During this week, students cram the streets at lunch and stand in never-ending lines waiting for that one kind of food they have been craving all morning. But lunch time is not enough. Every one just has to go back at night, not only to eat some more but to walk around and try their luck at the games. These blue and gray tra- ditions and many others, definitely make Reitz A Shade Above the Rest. Senior Brent Wasson and junior Gerald Schultz attempt to lead freshman girls to the non-existing swimming pool. Jane Thompson suffers greatly from senioritis.
