AN INSIDE SPORTS STORY The outcome of any game may be a major factor on a player ' s emotions. A player practices so hard for one big victory and then he is hit with a devastating blow of defeat, he feels like his v hole life has ended after losing the most important game of the entire season. With all this on his mind he wants to be isolated away from others, hiding his expressions of disappointment, frustration, sadness, and the shame of los- ing on his face. When all this emotion builds up until he can no longer hold them back, the result is a sudden outburst of tears or anger, yet he always looks back on a game thinking of his mistakes, trying to improve them in his thoughts. What would have hap- pened if he would have made those lay-ups that he missed in the district title game. He still has to face the emotional fans cheering or booing whichever the case may be. Although the pain is there he knows in his mind that the next time he plays he has to give it his best shot no matter what. All this adds up to a player being able to enjoy the thrill of victory, but at the same time accepting the agony of defeat. COACH FRITTLE throws in his white flag. EDDIE WOODWARD shows his artistic ability. BILL BAINE discusses the agenda for the baseball season. SHARI ItflATTERN and Holly Hamilton wait impatiently for baseball happenings. 12— OPENING

UNITED WE STAND Our achievements have always led us to new areas of advancement and this year was no ex- ception. From the Latin club, which was one of the earliest organized clubs, to the new jour- nalistic honor club of Quill and Scroll, we prepared ourselves for the challenge of ex- cellence. Past examples of spirit and pride pushed us forward with the want to match and surpass the traditional Roo spirit. Each of us had our own way of showing our spirit. Whether it was marching in the band, selling ribbons or just attending the games to support our Roos, we each helped to make our victories memorable and our defeats bearable. The many clubs and organizations at Killeen High provided us with opportunities to excel in a variety of areas. In each happening we all proved to everyone that we were TRUE ROOS!! «« av ' ; SUSAN STREETER, Angela Moore, Tereasa Munson, and Blair Smith celebrate the Centennial with dress.
