The athletic games and club meetings have served as a means of getting ac¬ quainted with new-found friends. Memories of the pep rallies, basketball games and all athletic events, and memories of each part of school life will cause each student to remember 1967-68 as an outstand¬ ing year in his life. Susan Hill and Boyd Lee Young were elected as Mr. and Miss R.H.S. by the entire student body because of their outgoing personalities and friendliness. They will reign as Mr. and Miss River¬ side High School for the year 1967-68. Susan’s friendly smile would brighten up anyone’s day. She is shown here helping out in the supply store. You can find Boyd Lee at this spot just about any day. lie enjoys basketball very much and works hard to excel in this sport. 5 Judy Johnson, another of Riverside’s hard working cheerleaders, ad¬ mires the fruit of her labors. The sign was put up for the Homecoming game with Selmcr. Riverside is no exception when it comes to tradition. The custom of initiating new members into organizations is a lot of fun, although some ol these soon-to-be FHA members might disagree. After showing the boys how to put more spirit in their pre-game warmup, the Panther mascot takes a breather. Miss Gurley’s calm and tranquil nature enables her to stand quietly by and watch her students experiment with dangerous chemicals. Day after day, knowing that catastrophe may strike at any time, she faces the challenge with great courage and stamina. 6 Riverside is proud of Rubelyn Tanner who competed with contestants from all areas of the United States at k ‘Ole Miss” last summer and won the trophy as National Drum Majorette Champion. When asked about next year’s team. Coach Fisher only smiled. Mr. and Miss MESS, Ricky Coleman and Elizabeth Smith, proclaimed January 27 as ‘“Meet Everyone Sometime Soon” day. ‘There’ll be a hot time in the old outhouse tonight” is the thought of some R.ll.S. stu¬ dents as they put the finishing touches to the bonfire for the Homecoming pep rally. The mighty Panther squad performs their colorful warmup drill to the tune of “Sweet Georgia Brown.” Sidney Sparks is displaying the skill and agi¬ lity that has become a Panther trade¬ mark. il ■r f; SMKSH t.. : : .

During his first year as coach he took the girls to a third-place Finish in the district. This year he has produced an even better team. Coach Fisher is shown here with Virginia Conrad, the only senior on the team. Twenty-eight victories with only two losses display Coach Chandler’s outstanding skill in coaching basketball. He has led our lighting Panthers up the ladder of success to rank among the top ten teams in Tennessee. 60 Velda Chandler goes up for a rebound in the Adamsville- Riverside game. Boyd Young and Don Wylie show their strength in jump¬ ing in the Clifton-Riverside game. They are backed by Ricky Coleman. The Panthers won with a score of 106- 36. Kate Yarbro fights to get the ball from the Henderson Eagles. Although the team lost 50-40, the girls played an excellent game. 61 Although the Pantherettes were de¬ feated in their bid against Jackson West, Glenda Yarbro shows her fighting spirit as she grabs this re¬ bound. A flying attempt to capture the ball from the Hornets reveals the perseverance of the Pantherettes during one of their few defeats. The tough Pantherette guards proved too much for the smaller Sardis team in the Christmas tournament. The girls won the game by a score of 48-26. 62 First Row: Coach Mack Chandler, Mike Chandler, Ricky Coleman, Don Wylie, Thomas Stricklin, Boyd Lee Young, Mike Scott. Second Row: Mike Hayes , Gary Llliot, Terry Broadway, Jimmy Gibson, Mike Milam, Mike Rhodes. Third Row: Larry Butler, Sidney Sparks, Max Strawn, Kenneth Brasher, Bobby Montgomery, Donald Pettigrew. Efficient managers are a necessity to any team. Gary Willis and Dean Tay¬ lor are performing one of their many varied duties by taping Mike Chand¬ ler’s ankle. 64 R.H.S. Seniors Ricky Coleman fights to get a rebound from a Lexington player as Don Wylie looks on. All these Seniors have done a great job this year. They have made Riverside well known throughout the state of Tennessee.

Larry Quinn and Ricky Coleman wait in the background. The Henderson Lagles came to River¬ side with high hopes of pulling an up¬ set, but the mighty Panthers came through again. Boyd Lee Young fights through a tangle of arms to lay in another basket as Thomas Stricklin looks on. Denise Walker and Linda Brawley dash forward to retrieve the ball from Henderson’s Debbie Barber, but to no avail. The Eagles won the hotly contested game by a score of 50 to 40. 66 Always there with his trusty score pad is Dean Taylor. Ilis accuracy and promptness are very important to both teams. Terry Broadway and Jimmy Gibson go up for the ball in the llolladay game. Riverside romped over the Tornados by the score of 93 to 27. Mike Chandler gives Kate Yarbro a generous bite of steak at a supper given for the basketball teams. They arc celebrating their victories over Memphis Messick, Memphis White Station, and Linden. 67 Don Wylie and Boyd Lee Young battle for a rebound in the 75-57 victory over the Adamsville cagers. Thomas Stricklin scores two against a tough Humboldt team in the Christmas Tournament finals. Riverside won the game by the score of 65-48. ,« ' ' M m3 mf - - — Mike Chandler drops the first of two foul shots that helped defeat Atwood by the score of 43-41 in overtime This avenged an earlier loss of the Panthers to the Atwood team. 68 «r ciC«v:v .. . . k ' «: ' 1 ’ ' : ' f,i- ' . mflmm mam Pg| Seniors Senior Favorites Senior Class Officers Vice-President Jerry Conrad Secretary Penny Goff President Don Wylie Home Room Teachers Enjoying a quiet moment are the senior homeroom teachers Mrs. Alice Reid, Miss Betty Lou Gurley, Mrs. Edith Taylor, Mr. Sammy Fisher, and Mr. Lealon Wyatt.
