14 A Classic Rivalry Our Friends And Foes Become Our Enemies. “It’s about time we won,” com- mented Mark Burns, a seniors defen- sive main. On November 7,1986, the Robert E. Lee Ganders met at Stall- worth Stadium to compete against the Ross S. Sterling Rangers. “Ev- eryone was so excited and enthusias- tic all week, I knew that we would win,” replied Sandy Bertsch, Head- cheeleader. As always, there was a big crowd at the stadium, and many supporters yelled for both Lee and Sterling. The students of Robert E. Lee par- ticipated in various activities throughout the entire week before the game. Monday, students came dressed as Ranger dress-styie- NERDS, Tuesday, was tie-up, boot, and shade the Rangers, Wednesday was warm-up and slip by the Rang- ers, Thursday was hunt the Rangers, and Friday was mix-up the Rangers and hats off to Ganders. On Saturday, November 15, 1986, the Ganders met at Rice Stadi- um against the LaMarque Cougars. “It was really neat that we got to the stadium and practiced before the real game,” replied Chris Sutphin, senior tight-end. Chris Crooms, de- fensive safety, commented, “Even though we did not win the game, I’m glad we had a chance to go to the playoffs.” Jaymc Rodilguci wants to know where did the ba 90?

Classical Examples Participating in extracurricular ac- tivities often meant extra work and sometimes a lack of sleep. As every- one knew, the band. Brigadiers, foot- ball players, cheerleaders, and the R.O.T.C practiced after the 3 o’clock bell through football season, and the rest of the year. “Brig prac- tice isn’t easy, but the good times and great memories really make me proud to be a Brigadier.” replied sophomore Kris Simmons. “The practices were hard, but they paid off at half time on Friday night games,” commented Angela Taylor, senior drum major. Extracurricular activities not al- ways meant playing an instrument or having a skill, it also meant joining in and helping with community pro- jects. Lori O’Hagen remarked, “Be- ing a member of the Future Farmers of America means more to the stu- dent that spends their after school hours memorizing speeches or taking care of sick animals. Even through all the hardships and practices, most students found that participating in these extra activities turned out to be very rewarding. Senior cheerleader, Patrice Horn- berger, replied, “I love cheerleading even though it’s a lot of work. Prac- ticing jit ter school for all of our differ- ent activities definitely paid off.” “It's the extra things you do in life that get you where you want to go , and believe me, football practice is extra, stated Coach David Smith.
