Tough competitors Brought about combined skills und winning attitudes Our rodeo was a great success, eve- ryone worked to- gether to make it work. We gave HOW at every ro- deo, and that's how we sent our members to the fi- nals. Steve Thom- as. ,TS l Rodeo is a sport that has been bred into the many generations of cowboys, past and present. Many people want to be cowboys, so they try by imitating their dress, and by entering local rodeos. But only with the real rodeo cowboys does the look and experience come easy. The Richland team had members that showed what real rodeo cow- boys are. With the help of Von Garret, H.L. Walsh and Mac McKelvy the members held meetings, elected of- ficers, and the queen. During the year the club held their rodeos at the Aztec Arena. Several members attended a dinner at JT McCords. A car wash was also planed to raise money for Richland's Rodeo. This year the club had two freshmen members. They were Andy Prior and Misty McKelvy. At the end of the year, each student who was in the top of each event went to the finals. Four mem- bers from the club made it to the finals. They included Steve Gleghorn, Misty McKlevy, Mariah Brooks, Brandon Key. The finals were held at the Northside Colisi- um, in Fort Worth. The officers for the 1987-88 school year were: President Steve Gleghorn, Vice-President Mike Taylor, Secretary Olen Harston, and Queen Mariah Brooks. Mariah Brooks.
