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.

PRACTICE Sun, shades, and sleepy days. Traditionally, this is what comes to mind in one's dreams as the warmer weather and longer days linger upon us. As for reality, at the end of another long school year, one starts to think of that summer job needed to buy that car, or the expense of college tuition. Summer jobs are just another item to add onto the list of responsibilities. From a fast food place to a clothes store at the mall, to a lifeguard at the public pool, you can always find a high school student out earning money while try- ing to stay awake. At the beginning of June, the Dixie Belles and the cheerleaders were at the school getting ready for competition and camp. In the gymnasium, one could hear balls bounc- ing up and down the courts as the basketball and the volleyball teams were already getting on their way. Another im- portant group spending their summer days at the school was the Stu- dent Council. As minds came together, thoughts and ideas were being formed to bring Rich- land closer together in spirit and unity. Summers are not just lazy days drinking a cooling lemonade any- more. They are now filled with the respon- sibilities of growing adults, but although it's a lot of work, there is still a little play. Dana Mitchell. Advice In the season opener, the varsity volleyball team beat Lamar, 15-13, but losing the second. Jodie Powell fcoachl gives the Lady Rebs some advice before the game begins.
