Freshmen- Where Leaving the familiar sights and sounds that had become a way of life, and moving in on someone elsc’s turf’ was a dramatic change. Even more frightening was the fact that the turf’ belonged to teenagers a lot older, wiser, and tougher. But. this was the transition that the freshmen faced and survived successfully. At first they appeared a bit misplaced, but they adapted gracefully to the new environment. Along with the nickname FISH” and “elevator tickets. they soon became caught up in the excitement and chaos of hectic schedules along with every- one else. For the freshmen, high school offered new experiences like a Gander pep rally, and definite challenges like winning the spirit stick at a Gander pep rally. Being the new kid on the block also involved the opportunity to meet new people, develop everlasting friendships, participate in ac- tivities on a more advanced level, and most importantly, to enable them to share u part of themselves in the Gander Pride and en- thusiasm shown at Robert E.

After years of feeling inferior, the time finally arrived for the class of ’84 to run the school. Yet, they were also suddenly faced with the responsibility of acting as the leaders of R.E.L. As officers of various groups, they gave the hard work, determination, and dedica- tion that was essential to success. In addi- tion. the seniors schedules were compiled of taking senior pictures, ordering caps, gowns, and invitations, working at the fish fry. planning impatiently for the prom, and eventually, participating together for the last time as a class at graduation. Yet. as the seniors remembered their fondest memories of high school, they also realized that there was so much more awaiting them in their future college and career.
