You ugly sophomores get out of A hall. Mystery writer C.R.L.P. ex- pressed many seniors' and juniors' feelings of resentment locker changes with his message on signs scattered around the school. Upon discovering hall ter- ritories being established the assistant principal's initiated random locker assignments for the first time in RHS history. Before, each class had something to strive for, something to look forward to - the privileges of being a senior. I'm finally a senior and it's all messed up, said Peytra Simmons. But, others enjoyed the change. I think the mix is goodf' explained junior Ann Cunningham. It lets us meet more people. Meeting people was right, especially when the locker assignments allowed for coed partners. lt didn't matter that my locker partner was a guy. It was just a surprise, said senior Karie Nelson. It's worked out well. I think it's a good change. Many seniors Who were assigned lockers scattered throughout the school found against the Changes Evoke nimal in Many School Unity Increases ways to obtain lockers located in A hall, such as sharing with friends. Some people have 3 or 4 partners in theirsf' said junior James Gaut who has a locker in B hall. While resourceful seniors were busy acquiring fsometimes under duressl lockers in A hall, other stu- dents were concerned over the possiblity of never having class competition and even the elimination of the Olympics. Competition is the basic ingredient of school, business, etc. on a fair basis, said principal Tom Kelly. Class competition is not bad as long as it's trying to contribute more to school unity. The problem is when it detracts from it. After assembly problems from past years, the ad- ministration decided all grades should sit together, as opposed to sitting in separate bleachers by class. This intermingling of classes was meant to increase school unity and pro- mote school spirit, but many students mis- took the change as being a display of authority by Kelly. Senior Doug Wright believes that rivalry between classes promotes school spirit. He feels that with all of the classes grouped together, school uni- ty has increased, but school spirit hasn't. Whether the sophomores are in A hall or C hall or sit with the other classes at a pep rally or not, Gaut con- veyed the feelings of many students They Cup- perclassmenl will still make fun of the sophomores no matter whether sitting together for notlf' However, students had to learn to accept the changes and most discovered that these changes were minor when compared to the whole. As senior Brad Skaggs, Stu- dent Council president said, The mark of a great school is its ability to receive change, accept it, then bounce right back into greatness as if there was never any problem at all. - Patty Matera Even though classes are integrated at pep rallies, class unity is still pre- sent at games. Junior Eaglettes Jennifer Cole and Shari Marshall find room scarce after they switch lockers. Integrated halls is a dog's life according to mystery writer C.R.L.P. Senior Mark Hemphill and junior Eaglette Jennifer Amos share a locker after lockers go coed. C5-IFES ii V 5835 Tea rv Haslsssf NN? vi PGS. Q 16 of Broken Traditions
