SEM? l ofthe BEST When Homecoming rolls around, so does the imagination of the students. Meetings, preparations, and ideas become a major part in planning for the great event. Stu- dent council sets up committees to help with the homecoming court, hall decora- tions, dance, and the reception that was held during school for exes returning to their alma mater. The Homecoming Court consisted of seven girls instead of the usual five. Our school has increased drastically in size this year, said Mrs. Mary LaCroix, Student Council sponsor. We wanted to give more girls recognition? Seniors took from 44 girls, seven that they thought would repre- sent our court the best. Tiffany Doyle, Robin Tidwell, Krisite Flippo, Valerie Cleere, Kim Free, Julie Knowlton, and Tera Sanders were nominees for this honor. At the game, Richland played its best, winning 34-0 against the Burleson Elks. The band and Dixie Belles put on an in- teresting halftime with the Spirit of Dixie performing their UIL music and the Dixie Belles performing a high kick routine. As the Heart of Dixie was formed by the Dixie Belles, excitement began to mount. When the last nominee was in- troduced to the crowd, Stephen Wilson and Carole Moon stepped up to present the one who would be named the 25th Homecom- ing Queen. The one given this honor was Valerie Cleere. Dana Mitchell. X , x -, ,K Stick em' up Preparations for omecoming began three weeks before the actual date.

Dress-up days con- tinued this year throughout Haltom week as always. On Nerd Day, Terry Griffith fseniorj participated by showing his true self. The spirit shown throughout the week was one of the ways we continued our . . . .,n. A A -T-n JrJ -I Q 1.11. A major change took place this year moving the Haltom game, originally the last game of the season, to the third game of the year. During the summer, a committee made up of the head coaches and principals of each school in the district, met together and drew which teams they would play and when. Even though the games were alternated, nothing brought down the spirit. As Rebel belongings were brought out, minds came to ether bringing more spirit to the noted week than ever. Dress up days were scheduled such as twinkie and nerd day, but the most suc- Dcsign by Stefanie Fagan. MI. I MAN cessful day of all was Keep the Flag Day on Thursday. Rebel flags and clothing were worn showing the en- thusiasm in keeping the school symbol. Thursday night a mini pep rally was held. Awards for the most patriotic Rebel, given to Matt Pruitt, and a car decorating originality, won by The Rebel were given. After the festivities, a car caravan was driven to the victorious JV game. Friday night became the best night of all, when the varsity team beat Haltom for the eleventh time in a row. Once more, Richland proved who was the best . . . again. Dana Mitchell.
