raduation 1988 On Sunday, May 29, 1988, 620 Rebels graduated at the Tarrant County Convention Center. By: Gini Kimball There is a time in every high school senioris life when he or she thinks, This is it - l've finally made it! On Sunday, May 29, 1988, 620 members of the twenty- seventh graduating class of Rich- land High felt that same feeling. From the moment caps and gowns were delivered and announcements arrived, the graduation buzz was in the air. The feeling that a section of your life was coming to an end was the uniting factor among us all. However, when Sunday actually came and everyone arrived: rela- tives, friends and graduating sen- iors, we were ready to put that one foot forward and take another big leap toward adulthood. Listening Design by Heidi Lltley At the beginning of the graduation pro- gram, Laura Lewis led the class during the National Anthem. Graduates Jason Bronner and Mindie Markham sang along as did Mr. Gary Clark, principal. Photo by Harold Reeves Graduating senior Rhett Woo accepted a medal of merit from Mr. Gary Clark. Rhett was the highest ranking boy in the class. Photo by Harold Reeves as your friends' names were called out brought back memories and special moments, happy and sad, of the last three years. Then, when at last you walked across the stage you thought, This is the endf' No, it was not. lt was really the beginning of the rest of your life - new dreams, new goals, new friends. Most of all, it was a time to begin anew and to live for the future, for that was our destiny. During graduation ceremonies, interpreter Marianna Kline signed to seniors Dianna Bev- erly and Billy Bouldin. Mrs. Kline was an in- terpreter on faculty at RHS.

IEIBEU Organizations . C ' ehind the scenes.: eing involved in school means more than attending class or even being on an athletic team. Students tradi- tionally participate in well or- ganized and extremely active clubs. Support groups like Dixie Belles and Johnny Rebs raise spirit. Other groups com- pete, like Chess Club and Whiz Kids. Others prepare students for the future, wheth- er it be in the armed forces, like ROTC or DECA if his fu- ture lies in the business world. The French Club members will never forget the mint- chocolate dessert and the musical glasses at their Christmas banquet held at the Worthington. The R.O.T.C. cadets' memories of those great smelling burgers fixed by Colonel Adcock at their Wel- come Picnic will remain vivid for quite a while. Spanish Club members will recall trying to translate the morning announcements con- cerning their parties. The Johnny Rebs will never forget the taste of the gym floor as they slammed down on it spell- ing out Rebels, one letter at a time. The hugging, yelling, and jumping for joy when their Di- vision I rating was announced at the UIL marching compe- tition is a moment that the band members won't just lay aside. Activities like these have traditionally helped students learn while having fun.
