ABOVE A very different Christmas present was given to senior Faye Ragsdale by Gena Rutz The smell of furniture polish and carpet cleaner wafted through the halls of HHS, greeting students as they entered the doors on August 26. It was once again the first day of school, and it looked as if 85-'86 would be an ordinary year. Mr. Schaeffer welcomed the students back to school. His speech was altered from years past, but the theme was still the same. Then Scott Head took the floor and spoke of how excited he was about this school year. He, along with others, told of the things which they had learned at the Leadership Lock-In held during the summer and which would help everyone enjoy the coming year. Still, most scoffed at the idea of an exciting year at HHS. Students soon fell into the routine of books, classes, school lunches and homework. At the commencement of football season, Mr. Gott decided spirit was reaching extinction. He promised a great pep club, provided students were interested. There was definitely interest, and the group took shape. The number of pep rallies increased and spirit soared. The months went by on wings with homecoming, prom, the May Day Marathon and, finally, graduation. Looking back, the year could hardly be called anything near ordinary — it was an extraordinary year.
