Eagle '86 focuses on you throughout a year filled with joy, trauma You, the individuals are what make RHS special. From the no pass, no play rule, to the TEAMS tests given to graduate, emphasis is being placed on the individual. For starters, you began school a week later than usual. Instead of the tradi- tional start school, break for Labor Day, and start school again, the Texas Education Agency got wise and decided after 15 years to go back to the original rule and begin school after Labor Day, and you did just that. ln addition you've had to adjust to a decreasing enrollment. ln 1983 the school's enrollment was 2,3803 this year's enrollment stands at 1,847, said Gwynn Nickles. After a year of adjusting to the in- famous House Bill 72, one of the reforms that seemed to hit even hardest was the controversial no pass, no play rule. The Golden Eagle Band was the first to feel the effects when their participation in the Westlake Marching Competition in Austin was cancelled due to the ineligibility of sixteen members. What really hurts is to know that you've gotten up in the morning and stayed after every night to produce a show that was good enough to win, and then a week before the competition all that work is thrown down the drain, said Flag Corps Captain Marilyn Powell. But, you adjusted, and life went on. - Karin Evans 2 f Opening 1 1 1 l -. - , ar 1 ' 5 9 l j . . -,-. o .
