sacrifice well RHS athletes zzilwm 110191313951 if' - much time practicing? What is I feel it builds self discipline and helps me prepare for next year when I'm a senior. You have to enjoy it to work at it as much as varsity football players do. lt's worth it and I get a lot of personal rewards. -junior Tim Filiesi If you want to be good at what you do, you have to practice. I love basketball and so I prac- tice to win. - senior Carla Werden 'lf you practice hard enough, then your reward is a scholar- ship for athletics. l'd like to go pro or become a coach, so to me, practice is very impor- tant. - senior Rich Zastoupil We swim from 6:45 to 8:30 every morning, and 4 to 6:15 every evening. Yet, I gain a lot of personal rewards, self- discipline and a real feeling of self worth. - senior Steve Kellam The extra practice gives me a sense of accomplishment because it's something that I have done. Practicing really makes the band better. Prac- tice makes perfect! - sophomore David Mchleel We want to perfect our perfor- mance.

If we perform cor- rectly, our confidence is raised. -junior Holly Glomb Student Life f ll

Long hours, much worth it, say most e practice every morn- ing during the week for one to two hours. Thursdays we necessary said JV football player Adrian Bens. lf we need to work on a play then we stay and work until we get it right. Are long hours and missing out on extras worth it to the PRACTICE practice with the band until it looks good, explained junior Eaglette Lorrie Gammons. Long hours and ex- haustion go into preparing for a game. Some students are at school for ten hours a day. We practice an hour to an hour and a half before and after school, said junior wrestler Matt Foley. All the extra practice is students? As long as l'm not sitting on the bench, it's worth it to me, states Bens. l don't mind staying after school to practice, said Varsi- ty cheerleader Misty Hosea. l love supporting Richardson. To most team members, ex- tra practice and preparation are hard work, but it helps them to accomplish goals. - Kathleen Kabell During practice, senior tailback Staf- fron Terrell cuts up field to gain yar- dage during group offense, which in- volves competition between players at the same position. lMulveyJ 2 .

FIRST D Schedule confusion schoolg sophomores Emfgili di 6 lt soundsllike f m 4 Eli d2il E2l mg policy moved the first day of school to the day after Labor Day. The extra week didn't last long, said senior Amy Seck- inger, but l'm glad we had the extra week. Others, however, felt differently. I don't like starting a week later because it makes us graduate later, in June, said senior Dehliece Horton. Although opinions were mix- ed about when school should start, most were glad that it had. I loved the first day, stated Horton. lt was so exciting. You got to see all your friends again, your old teachers, and finally l'm a senior! I like being in high school now, said sophomore Shan- non Morel. You feel more im- portant being in high school than in junior high. While the first day proved to be exciting, it also proved to be confusing. The schedule pick-up was very unorganized. You didn't know what line to get into. There were no signs to tell you where to go, said senior Can- dy Kennedy. Schedule pick-up was a hassle, said sophomore Taurel Sergeant. lt was confusing and you had to wait a long time. I didn't know where to go. Also near the beginning of school was Sophomore Orien- tation. l didn't think Sophomore is it? This year a new Sophomores Art Rhea and a friend get help from attendance coordinator Walter Gast for their schedules. fMulveyJ 121 Student Life Orientation made much of a difference to me, stated Sergeant. Others felt like sophomore Katie Dudzinski. Sophomore Orientation gave me an idea of what to ex- pect, said Dudzinski. lt got me more acquainted with the atmosphere and how juniors and seniors would receive me as a sophomore. Admittedly, problems arose in the beginning of the year. 'There was some confusion at the beginning of the year with schedules and all, said Seckinger, But eventually everything worked out. Perfectly. - Allison Walker. Senior Kathleen Taliaferro checks her locker combination when she picked up her schedule before school started. IMulveyJ .asf sus., - A las Z, K. .
