5 k I itll, I I . O I l Raider mania in full force l wonder how much it has changed since last year? I wonder how the football team is doing? Eddie asked himself as he stepped into his four-wheel drive truck, Remembering some of his experiences in high school, Eddie gazed at the front of the school while anticipating the red light to turn green. College is so much different than high school. lt's really hard to relate back to all the fun things that we did in high school, Eddie thought to himself. As he stepped out of his truck, he noticed the new cement wall with Home of the Mighty Raiders printed on it in white letters, I wonder where that came from, he thought, not knowing that it was a gift from the class of 1977. After strolling to Dressed as a Garland Owl, Tricia Haines, senior, boosts her class' enthusiasm during first period spirit competition This idea paid off as her room, 103, received the spark plug, the top spirit award, lor their efforts. the front door and stepping inside the hall, he immediately noticed the roped in mosaic that the class of 1979 left as their gift to the school. With streamers and signs hung from every passive place, Eddie walked down the hall and noticed all the students sitting, talking and going over last night's homework. Eddie also noticed that everyone seemed to be wearing red and black. Since he was unaware that Friday was Spirit T-shirt day, he pondered at the assortment of t- shirts. Spirit t-shirts, senior t- shirts, football t-shirts, band t- shirts and Beat South Garland Who? t-shirts all crossed his line of vision. Eddie thought, lt's amazing how almost everyone wears their t-shirts on the same day. lt must be planned. As school got underway, students were adding the finishing touches to their first period doors. Anticipation grew as students waited for the spirit yell, Eddie walked down the hall fondly remembering the spirit yell and how everyone used to compete for a spirit stick. Wait, Eddie thought, There is something that's different. I don't remember us ever decorating doors. Suddenly he heard the cheerleaders voice over the speaker and students began yelling at the top of their lungs: Beat the Colonels! Eddie could not imagine, All this screaming for one little spirit stick'? Sixth period finally arrived and Eddie decided he would stay for the pep rally. At 2:45 p.m., the announcement was made to release all students for the pep rally. Students settled in their seats on the bleachers to await the regular events. The fight song began and cheerleaders led the varsity football players into the gym. Just as everyone sat down, Eddie noticed a group of senior guys wearing Halloween masks and crazy hats. Puzzled, he turned to a teacher and asked, What are they doing over there? The answer he received was, l don't know what they try to prove, but they can be pretty hilarious. I think that is their way of boosting spirit. Progression of the pep rally proved to Eddie that much competition existed between the classes. Freshmen, sophomores, juniors and seniors all had a particular section that they sat in. Class yells were overwhelming and sometimes out of handg however, after the pep rally he noticed the students were still friendly towards each other. Eddie started out of the gym while the student body sang the Alma Mater. This tradition he remembered and he thought lt's good to have every pep rally end by singing the Alma Mater. I don't know why I say that, I never knew it. On his way home, Eddie realized how much everyone supported the football team and how important spirit and enthusiasm were. I wish we would have done all this stuff when I was in high school, he muttered. Friday's dress lor Mrs. Barbara Carpenter.

Et 4-I C 3 O O CD CD O L O 11 O D7 E Li. 22 Tee off T03 running start Fall was a season of good weather and a good time for outdoor activities, The cross country and golf teams took advantage of the weather to run in meets and swing their clubs. These teams went to various places to represent NG and did a good job. During the fall, cross coun- try runners repeatedly left their mark wherever they ran. The Raider milers were consist -ent by having at least one runner in the top ten places in all but one meet. Coach Bill Horn attributes that to their growing program, We've grown from tour boys to thirty, and that is the only way to have a good cross country teamg to have a number of runners. The cross country team ran well in the city meet and in the district meet when they placed first and third overall. Mike Davis, a senior and re- gional qualitier, was the top runner for the Raiders. Davis was consistent throughout the year. He took first place in the city meet and second in the district meet. Carl Elliott placed 1 1th in the district meet, but only the top five places qualified for the re- gional competition. Coach Horn is looking fonivard come a long way and we will have some very strong runners, Eddie Stutts, a freshman, will be a certain returning pros- pect. Coach Horn commented, He has been running good times and will definitely be a good competitor in the future. The junior varsity was glad to get this year's experience under their belt. They won two meets and placed second in an- other. The strong runners for the boys' junior varsity were Larry Davis, Lawrence Minnis, Mike Shawn, Danny lnivin and Steve Runnels. Proof that girls can with- stand a great amount of run- ning was shown by the girls' cross country team. Coach Rosemary Madziar stated, Cross country takes a lot of will power and determination, there is an enormous amount of run- ning and therefore a lot of aches and pains that go along with it. Suzanne Hallman, the only senior miler, had not run cross country since her freshman year. Coach Madziar commented, Suzanne always ran good times and was always within the top five of our runners. Diana Walters and Kathy Cernosek, both sophomores, ran with junior varsity and continually against juniors and seniors didn't bother me. l just tried my best. -The best team efforts came during the North Garland girls' meet and the district meet where they placed fourth at each outing, Contributing individually in the North Garland girls' meet were Kathy Cernosek and Wendy Pippin, placing 1 ith and 17th respectively. Suzanne Hallman, senior, Melissa Latta, afresh- man running both varsity and jv and Donna Crafts, sophomore, all placed in the low twenties. During the district meet, Diana Walters, Kathy Cernosek and Wendy Pippin placed 13th, 14th and 17th, all with good times. Suzanne Hallman and Tammie lrwin placed 21 st and 22nd respectively. The girls' junior varsity cross country team ran excep- tionally well. Their best two meets were the Arlington meet and the district meet where they placed second overall in each meet. Strong runners for the junior varsity were Suzie Schnitzius, Jana Hashert, Renee Whited and Beth West. Competition on the fairways was rarely demonstrated this fall by the Raider clubbers. The golf team was in only two tournaments, the Mesquite invi- tational in Mesquite and the Highland Park Invitational at Sheryl Park in Richardson. They placed sixth overall in the Mesquite tournament. Coach Randy Wisener said, We just needed more exper- ience, five sophomores and two seniors made up our whole golf team. Marty Stooksberry, a sophomore, earned fourth place individually in the Mesquite tourney. This is just a re- Coach Wisener added. Clubbers found it difficult to gain experience due to the closing of Duck Creek Golf Course. Coach Wisener replied, When we get settled down to a new course and with the return- ing of Dan Butts in the spring, we should do better. The de- manding expenses contributed fhe problem of no facilities. lt was felt that since players already forked out the dough for necessities, an additional fee to play at a decent course was unfair. As fall ended so did cross country trackg however, golf lingered on to represent NG in tournaments. Like several other sports, both teams look fonivard tothe future.
