REBEL REVIEW ' Varsity baseball won district, bi-district and went on to defeat Arlington Heights in area competition. El Paso Burgess ended our winning streak in two regional best-of-three games. ' The one-act play, I Never Saw Another Butterfly, won in zone competition, a newly created area of the quest for a state championship. 9 For the umpteenth time in school history, we beat Haltom in varsity football. But the 10-6 victory was slow in coming, with a late defensive surge preventing a fourth quarter score. September 21 was proclaimed Lisa Allred Day in honor of the Alumna who served as Miss Texas - USA. The blonde beauty received a plaque from North Richland Hills City Councilman Richard Davis. Lisa, a former cheerleader, class favorite, Miss Dixie and Southern Belle, was first runner-up in the Miss USA contest. ' SI- ' The Whiz Kids made it to the quarterfinals at channel eight studios in the third round of play. Their downfall came against the 1983 Super Brain Bowl champs from Paschal. Probably the final bonfire was witnessed by the class of 1983. Due to the poor behavior of a few, the long-standing tradition allegedly ceased. Senior Dale Akers scored the first touchdown of the season on a 96-yard run against Arlington. The largest number of National Merit Finalist the school has ever produced graduated among the 571 in the class of '83. Chris Brown, Chris Thorne and Kristi Voorhies fseniorsl were among some 18,000 students who competed by taking the PSAT X NMSQT. A burglary of the gymnastics gym put a damper on the championship team's spirits. The team went on to place fifth in the state. A decision to have graduates walk across the floor instead of the stage was reversed two days prior to graduation by Dr. Williams. We passed the ten-year study by the Southern Association, despite Dr. Williams' absence, due to his recuperation following heart bypass surgery. 48 Inside Richland
