Spirit Reigns 5igns are hung all over the school. Cheerleaders, Double R's, Band and Spirit Club members spent hours painting signs and practicing for game night. All this time and effort went into the game of Football. The importance we put on Football at Reagan is a tradition, but this is not hard to understand after winning three state championships in Football. We may not be the Football king we once were, but we continue hoping that we will feel the excitement of a state championship once again. We came close to regaining that excitement this year, but not in Football. Our Basketball team won the district title for the first time, and advanced all the way to regionals. For the first time since our split with LBJ, we had hopes for a state championship. That kind of spirit and pride is what Reagan is known for. We may be good in many other areas, but our main interests lie in sports.- Many things combine to make sports one of the most important aspects of our school. (1) A district championship in basketball kept the spirit that usually dies after football season alive. Roy Jones aroused thot spirit throughout the season. (2) Cheerleaders Cynthia Cooke, Melissa Blalock, Corliss Kitchens, and Joyce Akins give their all to promote school spirit. (3) Although there were fewer than usual, this sign was one of many hung during the year. 2 — How Our School Is Unique
