A Star Is Reborn he year, 19543 the sport, basketball. When the Milan Indians sunk their last shot to make the score 32-30 in the state championship game, they did more than shock the state of Indiana, they made history. One of the heroes and tallest player was Principal Ronnie Truitt. In 1986, Hoosiers, a movie based on this history mak- ing moment was released to the movie going audience. Un- fortunately there was not a Ronnie Truitt in the movie as players names school name and year were changed Mr Truitt said he was shocked and surprised to hear of the making of Hoosiers I had no idea that a movie would be made about my small town high school team Everyone in the town and state will never let that memory die Written by John Jansen and Carol Sharp nf-9 Board members include lfront rowb Charles Stricklin, vice presidentg Ben Welmaker: Tommye Wolvertong Ron Graham, presi- dent. iback rowl Ron Kennedyg Wanda Jowell: David Dealy: and Allen Labay, superintendent.

There's no reason for them, no one uses them, except for notebook checks! Deana Ruffiino said. While feeling they had to act more mature as they were in high school the binder to some freshmen was embarrasing to carry but for others an I don t care attitude existed What upperclassmen thought did not matter to me Phillip Hilsher said Reflecting on carrying her binder last year Donna Manning said Although it said Jersey Village Falcons when you broke it down it really meant kick me I am a freshman I think that one day there is a slight possibility that the freshmen could be as great as us but those binders have to go' Senlor Stephanie Cole said No matter how the class of 89 felt about binders they will remember their days as fish as a new learning experience in their high school years Written by Gillian Carmichael l ' F' '! if C7 As the rest of his Amencan history class watches a video Kyle Jessop would rather sleep Photo by Paul Carnell Being typical freshmen Marcus Te Jada and Elizabeth Kawaja proudly display the Fish Binder Photo by aul Carnell Pre Algebra is never fun but Jen Nicols and Cathy Baker find a way to enjoy it anyway Photo by Paul Carnell Nothing embarrasses me not even the Fish Binder Mark Brown Binders KeepersfFreshmen 191
