Even though the football season did not prevail as we had hoped, the support of the faculty and student body was always shown. Not once could you walk into the decorated gymnasium on Friday after- noon and not see the bleachers filled with spir- ited Rebels. Within the walls, the feeling of unity could be felt by even an outsider entering in. he student body has never shown so much spirit and enthusiasm since Richland has been built, said Mr. Gary Clark during the Homecoming pep rally. Support from the cheerleaders, Dixie Belles, and band members also helped boost the spirit. Cheers and chants were put to the beat of the Drum Corp as the drums brought the crowd to their feet. Special appearances from the Flag Corp and Johnny Rebs livened the place as mysterious persons performed to the Art of Noise and spellouts were shown on the gym floor. Everyone showed their true spirit and brought the Rebel unity together and proved be- ing a Rebel is all worth it. Dana Mitchell and Stefanie Fagan.
