' ey, have ya heard about' Shoe polishing cars a non-violent way to get idea across Names of people, initials and popular rock groups were scribbled across desks. Messages, whether they were carved on desks or written on the bathroom walls, expressed students' feelings about the world around them and to other people. Highsteppers gave the football players a boost of spirit before the Richland game by decorating their houses. Mrs. Dorothy Mize, Highstepper sponsor, felt decorating the players houses let the individual personalities of each Highstepper show through. Hltls something that's not mandatory for them to do, but something that they enjoy doing,'l Mrs. Mize stated. Game days brought out messages on banners, shirts and posters. Making posters for the foyer showed school spirit for the players, Janice Kossbiel, junior cheerleader, stated. Other messages written in shoe polish on cars gave direct information: who loved who, what Haltom was to do to an opposing team, or how W - 'lain I . mM, foxy the driver of the car was. Senior Lisa Jones explained, i'Shoe polishing cars was a way to show school spirit without do- ing any damage to the car. Sometimes, shoe polish was used only to in- itiate the driver. The person doing the deed simp- ly covered all the windows with solid white polish, preventing the driver from going anywhere before washing the windows. Notes were written and passed during classroom hours, stuck inside lockers, and passed in the halls. Writing notes gave me something to do in- stead of doing my English, stated junior Carl Maclin. Lunchtime wasn't only a time to eat but to call a friend who didn't show up for school and tell them what work they missed, how hard a test was, and how the morning went in general. The number of messages sent and received each day, whether written or spoken, proved the importance of communication with other people.,I 1 7 MESSAGES During football season especially the foyer was plastered with messages. Scott Smith, Kim Bnlskie, Greg Avants, Lynnita North, Doug McMillan and Carma Ralph sit in the foyer before it was remodeled. Even the drill team receives a message from the football team.
