. t. w... mmswu r a -an- The final product. spirit It took 20 dedicated staff members mot to mention one very exhausted adviserl exactly nine months to pull the 86 Panther Yearbook together...but it also took over' 800 Raymore-Peculiar students nine months to complete a successful school year full of spirit and pride that wonit soon be forgotten. 1985-86 was a special school year for everyone. The new year brought changes including an increase in school pride and the often inconvenient construction of a new wing. But students, adjusted to the changes and vowed to make 1986 the best year ever...and indeed they did. The new school year first brought a come-from-behind football team to recog- nition after defeating St. Pius X, 21-20 in the final game. Girls volleyball continued to claim tournament titles and was second in the district While cross-country walked away with a second place state finish. Homecoming ,85 was a night not soon to be forgotten. Although the football team didnlt win, students felt relieved to have even played a game tsince the originally scheduled St. Marys Trojans cancelled due to several ineligible playersl. The dance uLove Will Find a Way, topped off an enjoyable evening. R-P,s Student Council was elected vice president of the district, while teams from FBLA, DECA and the forensics squad con- tinued to bring home more and more tro- phies. NFL and Thespian chapters were also started by the drama department. The winter sports season saw both bas- ketball teams reign as district champs, while spring sports brought a large track team, golf team, baseball and softball teams. Seniors consistently won the pep asseni- I bly chant competition tbeing defeated only once by the juniorsl, even though they had the smallest class count. tOnce again proving that the Class of 86 has the biggest mouthsl! . Once fourth quarter hit - senioritis struck fast. First came Senior Apprecia- tion Week, announcement of the superla- tives, the Prom, Fantasy, then the Mr. R-P contest, Senior Skip Day, baccalaureate and finally - last but not least -graduation. It seemed that this year ended as soon as it began. But now, the year is just a memo- ry of all the great times. We hope the 86 Panther will fit the pieces together for you. This book was put together with a lot of love. It was made for both our friends and ourselves because we never want to forget the best things about being in high school - we never want to forget about tcatching the spiritKJBG style.
