Mataclors Are Symbols Of Prlde The Matador, the symbol of Parkland High School, is a proud symbol. lt is the symbol of pride and accomplishment. Not everyone can be a Matador, but it is a goal sought after. All Matadors, real and symbolic, go through stages to become ready to enter the arena, whether it is to face a fierce, fighting bull or to be ready for whatever life has in store. Each Matador begins at the bottom and works his way up. He starts as a Novillero-an apprentice matador-AND SEEKS the high honor of becoming a full fledged matador, a graduate. The pro- gress made from the freshman to the senior year is much like that between the novillero and the matador. The first year is the one with indecision. Each one wonders which road is the right one for him. Once the goal is known, the road is easy to follow.

Sports Teams Work For Improvement Our various team sports have undergone change, made headway. We have better equipment to use to make better teams, and this is reflected to us by the way we participate. lt used to be that there were only boys' sports. We now have boys, girls and co-ed sports. This headway was a longtime coming. Girls sports have iust as much emphasis as boys. Parkland sports include: football, volleyball, bas- ketball, gymnastics, tennis, and baseball. We have a well-rounded sports depart- ment. ff C9 X fwfwg-'TQ ' Q33 N sfzzfggbp- 0 'F Kiiil W' lkk l K , me ' M 4 . N dy- l l Z to g as Y w I K 'li' J el X l it lik . N XX K E I , 1 .
