And if you're in the school, noise, it leads the boys' gym, a lot of people screaming, cheering, playing music, and having a great time while a bunch of guys sit calm- ly on chairs on the gym floor. You have now experienced an official Eagle pep rally. l was surprised at the amount of enthusiasm and spirit that Richardson has, said senior April Wilson, new at RHS from Mitchell, Indiana, I think that's great. Skits, such as when guys dress up as cheerleaders, play an important part in pep rallies. Skits do a lot for pep rallies because they get the student body more involved, said sophomore Leigh Curtis. The first skit of the year presented the new mascot, Oscar Eagle, to the school. l was glad that the new Oscar was basically the same as last year, explained junior Kelli Goodson, because I was afraid that it might not be as cute. Student body involvement in the pep rallies concerned many people this season. lf the crowd was more spirited, it would pep up the football players more, said junior Rob Patton after the Eagles' fourth consecutive district loss. Although on the surface the pep rallies appeared to have as much spirit as always , said junior Lance Hartsell, underneath everyone was kind of disappointed because we weren't winning. Some students felt that changes in the pep rallies could improve the spirit. Senior Michelle Kaihani said, ln his attempt to lead cheers in the pep rally against Plano East, junior Jason Meek jokingly falls to the floor. lGonzalesj 16 f Student Life l think they should be in the afternoon because they're longer and more spirited. Pep rallies should be in the afternoon, closer to the game, to keep the spirit flowing better into the game, added junior Jay Conder. - Debbie Nesmith The ffirstj pep rally was successful, said senior Susie McDowell, because we won the game. fMulveyj During the first pep rally, against Dun- canville, Eaglette lieutenant Cara Craig concentrates on her routine. fMulveyj ,.

A break in the day LUNCH needed time for V unch and in f b e t w e e n if classes give fm e j u s t ,J I., enough time to get a break from school, and talk to my friends, stated junior Sara Wolfe. ln between classes gives me just enough time to pass out notes and talk to my friends, explained junior Nathan Bryant. Although there is not enough time for horseplay in between classes, there is enough time for the little things. Junior Wilford Johnson explained, That is the best time for harassing the sophomores. ln between classes is not the only time to talk to friends. Lunch is the best time for tak- ing a break. The majority of the students prefer to eat in the cafeteria as opposed to eating in the Eagles' Nest. The food is much better and the lines are shorter in the cafeteria, ex- plained junior Todd Cantrell. The Eagles' Nest is too rowdy, added junior Barry Steinhart. The real reason l eat in the cafeteria, said Johnson, is because that's where the good looking girls eat. Lunch and in between classes give the students just enough time to unwind from school, but not enough time to look forward to going back. - Kathleen Kabell 18 f Student Life . 3 K .
