As the seniors filed into the stands for the service, feelings and emotions were being felt throughout every senior. A few realizing they will never meet again and others promising to stay in touch. Memories reach through the minds and hearts of everyone. Thoughts, recalling the good times and moving on into the world with career choices, independent living, and further edu- cation, enter their minds. Now they represent the graduating class of 1983. On May 31, beginning at 8:00 p.m., a memorable service was about to begin. The band began with the processional. Pam Hinton gave the invocation, and Jim Taylor, Salutatorian, and Leigh Chil- dress, Valedictorian, gave their addresses.

The 19S2-83 Golden Bear football team closed out the season strong with a big win over Mobile Co. High, 18 to 0. The Bears completed the season with a 4-6 record, having lost several other close games during the year in the 4th quarter. The high point of the season was a big win over rival U.M.S. in which the Bears played a super game winning 36 to 6. The biggest disappointment was the opening game loss to Foley. Seventeen seniors played their final game for the Golden Bear football team. Some of the characteristics exhibited by this years team were hard work, courage, discipline, loyalty, cooperation, and team work.

Varsity football— 41 Cheerleaders Generate Wall-to- Wall SPIRIT Coach Comer and his men may know all the right plays and be ready for any oppo- nent, the weather may be perfect for foot- ball, and the crowd may be enthusiastic in spirit, but without the RHS Varsity Cheer- leaders, the powerful pigskin tradition at RHS would not be the same. Appearance at the game is not all there is to being a cheer- leader. Hours of practice precede that run out onto the field and are the only reason that cheers, stunts, and dance routines move so smoothly, so effectively. The RHS Varsity Cheerleaders drive the crowd to the highest in spirit and become part of the winning tradition at RHS.

Next year, these young people will be put through a grueling rookie camp to teach them the basics of marching. If they make it through camp, they are de- serving of a place in the marching band. These band members have been working hard to learn how to play their instruments. They all deserve recognition for the time they have put in to carry on the Robertsdale Band tradition of excellence.

The Marching Band Upholds Its Tradition of Excellence The Roberstale Marching Bear Band poses for a picture after the Deep South Marching Festival. Steve McKinney hoos the crowd with hi s trombone solo during Sophisticated Ladies . The auxiliary executes its featured exchange during Flight of the Bumble Bee . 86— Varsity Band The Golden Bear Marching Band had a suc- cessful but personally disappointing season. Although they made straight superior ratings at contest, they did not receive the best in class award at the Ft. Walton Beach Marching Fes- tival. Robertsdale has captured this title for two years but missed the third by two points. The Bear Band performed with excellence during football games under the field direction of Allen Pope. This year the band had another new director. Miss Suzie Kendrick, an alumni member of the Robertsdale Band. She did a great job as one could see when the band per- formed. She had the responsibility of choreo- graphing a half-time show, choosing music, and, the harde st part, keeping a hundred band students in line . With all the changes and difficulties the band program has had in the past three years, Robertsdale High School can still hold its head high and claim That ' s our band. Look at the Monkies! The auxilliary corps presents the flag at the eteran ' s Day assembly. A new addition to the band this year was the basketball pep band. This is the Robertsdale Drum Corp showing you they hate learned to count to two! Varsifv Band — 87 Concert Season Reaps Rewards After the band completed marching season, they began rehearsing for the upcoming con- cert season. Moving indoors, the band had to leave the field behind and concentrate on stage presence, intonation, and phrasing. As usual, the band did excellent at competition. At dis- trict contest, the band made straight superior ratings. Moving on to state, the band made straight superiors in concert performance. They were the only band to receive superior ratings from all three judges. To wrap up the year the band held its second annual band banquet. Awards were given, spe- cial students were recognized, and good food was served. The band also gave a spring con- cert in the high school gym. The beginner and intermediate bands played as well as the varsi- ty band. The band had another rewarding year. One would find it difficult to decide what the best thing to happen to the band was. The band members agree that the getting Miss Kendrick as their band director was the best thing that happened to the band this year. Not many people have the ability to come straight from college to a band and carry on a tradition of excellence. As the band ' s track record shows, she did a superior job.

Typewriters click con- tinuously for days, pencils scribble out rough drafts, and of course, the trashcans are filled to overflowing with ideas that just did not come out right . For every one page that is complet- ed at least three or four type sheets and two final layout pages are messed up. Finally, the book is completed and there is time to relax and enjoy the feeling of satisfaction gained from a job well done. Despite the agony of the deadline rush, most annual staffers will agree that seeing the final product produced is worth all of the effort that was required.
