Sports open new challenges for athletesg 1 it only happens every four years, Winter brings a challenge all in itself. New horizons lay beyond the teams whose season had not yet begun. Credit was also due to those hard working coaches who put in a lot of time and effort into their team. Their path through New Frontiers was a fight that would lead them to the thrill of victory or the agony of defeat. Due to early deadlines, the results of winter and spring sports were not available. On their journey through New Fronfiers the girls' tennis team were able to defeat the odds and end up with a winning season. A first place in the Regionals brought the courage to lead them to State. December 2 was the opening night for the basketball teams. The previous weeks had been spent working on drills. Farther into the season the challenge of the unknown led them to test their skills A leg dive, armlock, and a full nelson are types of holds used in wrestling. On their route through New Frontiers the excellant feats of skill each wrestler performed decid- ed how the team fared. The water was cleanly divided as the divers executed difficult twists and turns that thrilled their audiences. As the swim- mers entered into the New Frorztzierr the thrill of discovery was there as the boy swim- mers hunted for success. Each individual athlete had to put for- ward his best effort to make the team stronger. Their trip through New Frontiers was a challenge for them to conquer. Every good athelete tried to reach deep inside himself, looking for unknown abilities to help him defeat the obstacles that lay in his path of success. The 1984 Olympics was a symbol of this success. All of the great atheletes that qualified for the Olympics had worked hard to ac- complish such a feat. All that was left was a path through unknown territory where skill was their only weapon. For today's young atheletes, the Olym- pics give them the incentive to try harder on their struggle to New Frontiers. During a home meet against East, Marice Carroll and her partner Susie Nieman win 6-2, and 6-5 over their opponent. Maurice returns the ball as she warms up. While Ronnie Caldwell, 324, finds himself well covered, he manages to get off a shot and make the two points. 11

Redskins During the entire year, spirit was found throughout the halls and became a New Frontier for all. To the proud Redskins, showing spirit was no problem. Spirit groups were chosen from the stu- dent body. Groups such as pom pon, FOMAP, and lettersweater girls, to name a few, were a big part in keeping spirit alive and ticking during the pep assemblies and games. The Redskins kept their newly discovered traditions and spirit alive by their participation in the activities. Pep assemblies were always alive with ex- citement and energy with the pom pon squad performing. The hours of practice they put in showed in their performances. Drum major Malinda Matney keeps the band instep and on tempo. They march on the field to the beat of the drums at the game against KMC. ' Members of the newly formed FOMAP club, Mike Walkerjeff Duncan. and David Snell, show their en- thusium during the class yells. The S-Section was of- ficially sponsored as a club in order for their actions to be recognized by the administration. keep spirit alive with participation in school sponsored assemblies, activities FOMAP provided cheers and skits that brought laughter and applause from everyone. This group of senior guys kept the spirit alive and exciting during school, at sports events, and at other FOMAP spon- sored activities. Attending pep assemblies and games were some of the responsibilities of the let- tersweater girls. They cheered at these events and kept the spirit uplifted. Keeping the band on tempo was the job of Drum Major Malinda Matney. She helped to keep the spirit of music going at the pep assemblies and games. Every Redskin could contribute to the spirit of the school. The tradition of wearing red and white on game days was upheld by many students. On game days, one could see the Redskin colors all through the halls. At pep assemblies which lasted usually 30 minutes, the gym was overflowing with spirit. Each Redskin contributed his or her voice in the class yells for the coveted spirit stick. To freshmen and sophomores, the class yells were a New Frontier which they tried to conquer. The seniors started the year almost making it a tradition to win every spirit stick by winning the first 7. This high school spirit was more intense than the spirit shown in junior high school because of the strong rivalry. It provided for an ex- citing year. l F i I
