She was very supportive of all activities at Rich- land High School. Design by Emily Starnes High-On-Life was designed as a student support system. It was set up to help students with problems and provide a fun, chemical-free environment. High-On-Life was about more than just drugs. High-On- Life was about a positive self- image, a good attitude, and proving to our peers that having a good time does not require the use of drugs and alcohol, said Chris Mullins illl, this year's president of High-On Life. The major aim for High-On- Life was to make Richland a drug free school. ln its second year, High-On-Life made steps toward this goal, but it was a goal made knowing that not eve- rything they wanted done could be accomplished in so short a time and without much hard work. To become a member of Partying down at the High-On-Life Beach Party Les Vaughn f12l tried to get his hula-hoop going The Beach party had a successful turnout. Photo by Chris Mullins High-On-Life, one must have at- tended a peer helper training session. This session trained stu- dents about the warning signs of various teen problems. High-On-Life was considered to have been a great success this year. Many things have been ac- complished. However, many more accomplishments are still needed to make Richland High School drug and alcoholafree. Jennifer Minze. K. .

Coming early and .fmying late . . reaped big rewamlf in the form 0 SWEEPSTAKES Although football games began in September, band members be- gan preparing for marching sea- son inthe spring. Drum Major and Flag Corps tryouts and band of- ficer elections were held in May of 1987. The Drum Majors attended Drum Major Camp in June at ET- SU, where they learned many im- portant ideals and began learning cadences and new, challenging routines. In August the grueling work be- gan for the entire band. They re- hearsed every day, learning and refreshing important fundamen- tals and maneuvers, Some new techniques were brought in this year, like the use of coordinate books and demerit drills, along with a new director, Mr. Chris Knighten. The band continued meeting early before school each day once September arrived. They per- formed at all pep rallies and games, and did what they could to promote school spirit. The band competed at the UTA Marching Festival and later went to the UIL Marching Con- test. They received Superior rat- ings, the highest possible, and con- tinued to see for themselves that hard work pays off. The marching season soon came to a close and the 1987- 1988 Rebel Band marched for the last time. 1 just couldn't believe it was over, said Drum Major Stacey Floyd l12l, Marching has played such an important part in my life for the past three years, and it's hard to believe that it's over. As they came off the field, it was easy to see a few tears in the eyes of some seniors. Jennifer Hill. In the Halloween half-time show, Chris Atkins l1Ol played the part of the diabolical swamp creature who killed all of the band except one lone trombone player who revived the band with his rendition of DiXle.ll The Rebel Band's show included famed pieces such as Sea Hawk and Danse Bacchannale' under the instruc- tion of directors Jim Van Zandt, Eddie Lynge and Chris Knighten. The Flag Corps was assisted by Donnelle Donahue while the Drum Corps was helped by Harold Morgan. Here, the band posed after the final game at UTA stadium. Photo by Eddie Minze.
