i i I Early Hour Practices Cunninghami Weather affects early risers While many students were sleeping comfortably in their bed, other RHS students were already at school working hard. I don't mind being here early at all , said sophomore Brady Trammell. lf you are dedicated to your sport or activity, then youill be here. Trammell, a JV wrestler in the heavyweight division, was required to be here at 6:45 a.m. The wrestlers work- ed on fitness which included cross-countries and weights. The Boys' Soccer Team was forced to workout in the morn- ings because some of the members of the Girls' Soccer Team also played basketball in the mornings. I don't like it a bit, said boys' soccer head coach Jim Walther, We don't get the full amount of time we need to work out, plus it's a lot colder in the mornings and when it's cold the players have a bet- ter chance of getting injured. The cold weather affected the tracksters as well. It's good be- ing here early because it gets you ready for school, but the cold makes it so unpleasant and the weather has caused me to be injured a lot, commented senior Pat Lowe. Along with the other runners, Lowe had to be here at 7:15 a.m. Nothing seemed to bother the football team though. At school by 7:30, the team worked on of- fense and drills until 2nd period. It woke you up and got your day going and you were ready for school, said varsity lineman James Young. But, the group that will pro- bably be remembered the most for early morning practices is the Golden Eagle Band. Every morning just as most normal students were pulling into the parking lot, there they were, working on the halftime show for Friday night's football game. At 6:45 every morning, the band and flag corps met on the stadium parking lot. lt's worth it, said senior Holly Hatch. In this area it is so competitive, practicing hard is very important, plus the GEB has a great reputation and we want to keep it up. Likewise, the Eaglettes were here at 6:30 perfecting their halftime routines and keeping their reputation in tact. - Robert Ogle Senior Jon Brownfield gives it all he's during a wrestling workout.

SPIRIT WEEK Pajama craze hits Wearing flannel nightgowns, robes, and lugging their teddy bears and worn stuffed rabbits, students milled around in the halls September 27-30. Was it a massive sleep-in strike organized by the students? No? Wait! As a teacher in red pajamas and fuz- zy slippers entered the classroom the situation became clearer with the approaching game against Pearce set for Fri- day. Spirit Week, RHS-style, was underway. Sleep Day lThursdayl and 50's Day lWednesdayl were favorite days for dressing up. '50's Day is more like a nor- mal day because all the 50's style is really today's style, said junior Gary Holley. I liked the time period and the music from it, added junior Chris Foley. Fashions like ankle pants, pedal pushers, penny loafers, and cat-eye glasses, popular in the 5O's, could also be seen in the halls this year. Teddy bears, which celebrated their 83rd birthday, not only made headlines interna- tionally but also made numerous guest appearances on Sleep Day. 16 f Student Life Sleep Day is the most original. Everyone had something to wear, says senior Valerie Powell. It was cute seeing everyone in their pajamas, said Carla Means. What was the purpose of all this craziness anyway? Seeing everyone dressed up showed the team everyone was behind them, says Powell. The team enjoyed it and it gave the team courage, said Sophomore Terrilyn Chester. Even though some opinions were positive, some didn't feel enough people dressed up for the occasion. t'There wasn't enough spirit, says junior Jelia Wright. And others agreed that perhaps a few changes should be made. Have Spirit Week during Homecoming Week and more people would dress up, sug- gested Holley. We should change 50's Day and Western Day to something else, said Powell. The student body should get more involved, said Means, and they should give a prize to the best dressed. - Angela Barrett Juniors James Oakry and Troy Marsh l jam to the music played by the Golden Junior Jon Karp munches on his lunch, Eagle Band at the Peel-ee Pep Rally on unaware of the stares he receives during Colors day.
