 School Spirit Comes Alive Elliott Nicholson and Caroline deViaming model their yard sale purchases. School spirit has been high all year, but during Homecoming Week it was at a fever pitch. The varsity football cheerleaders planned unique activities to allow students to express their spirit and get involved in supporting the Ea- gies. Daily activities ranged from Old Tim- er’s Day to a Sexiest Male Legs Con- test. Students really were caught up in the action all week, but they were per- haps most creative on Celebrity Day. Alfalfa (two of them), the Pointer Sis- ters, Joe Morrison, and many others appeared at RWA. The great support by all Eagle fans proves that school spirit is really alive here. Surely Madonna’s sore Anger was written for Angel Kingsmore, Eric Cathcart tries to steal a - s? from K;m Brown behind Lee Dixon's back. 2 Student L e

Twenty years ago, in 1966, Richard Winn Academy was established and started holding classes in the Cathcart House on North Congress Street in Winnsboro. Over the years RWA has grown in enrollment and size of facility. Enroll- ment has increased from about 120 students in grades 1-11 in 1966, to 425 in K4-12 presently. In 1969, a new building was completed, and the growing student body moved to its present location. On March 28, 1984, this building was destroyed by a tornado, but a gener- ous community offered temporary facilities to Richard Winn until a new facility could be constructed. As Richard Winn prepares to commemorate its 20th anni- versary, it is important to look back and remember our strug- gles and triumphs for we indeed have reason to CELEBRATE! 0ev£BRATE AERIE 1986 Richard Winn Academy Winnsboro SC Volume XX
