The varied moods we expressed in 1976-77 are history now recorded on the pages of time. Although it is impossible to represent all of the memories of the year, we hope I that this book will help you recall I Moods in 1977. 5 . . . ZJn ( U 44 Way back when, our education began in first grade. Some of us learned together how to spell KAT and DAWG while others were yet to come as the new kid” We progressed through grade school and made it to the Jr. High. Having only one rung left on the ladder of education yet to climb, we found that responsibilities and decisions about our futures weren’t handed to us on a silver platter. Tests, assignments, reports and deadlines sometimes bogged our minds. But, at the end of the year we realized all of the “do this and do that’s” were actually preparations of another step up on the ladder of our future. 6 ... 3. Sporta “When things go wrong, as they sometimes will. When the road you’re trudging seems all uphill, When funds are low and the debts are high, And you want to smile but you have to sigh, When care is pressing you down a bit, Rest if you must but don’t you quit.” ANONYMOUS 1977 showed that the Rock Hill Redmen and Redwomen had both a will to win and a courage to lose. The pride, the fear, the winnings, the letdowns, the trials and the tests provided for both entertainment and education. Our teams’ rigorous triumphs beamed through in the faithful spectators’ pride. For many of us, sports and life were inseparable. Be it on the gridiron, on the court, on the cross country course, on the diamond, on the track, or in the stands, we all rivaled as winners in the game of life. 8 9 . . . 0n 0ampuA In 1977 we experienced the regular three seasons — fall, winter, and spring — in quite a different fashion. Winter seemed to hang on with a purpose. But we roughed it out with an extra pair of long-johns here and an extra muffler there. Each student found his or her own special mood in each season — a belonging mood to congregate with the lunch crew, a nice mood to walk with that special guy or gal, a zany mood to be the entertainer or jokester or that special mood to be yourself and let your mind dust out those cobwebs. Just like every season we experienced a new and invigorating change and growth in our lives. 4cLiieveMent . . . is the highlight of any individual or group activity. Throughout the school year numerous occasions permitted individual recognition for outstanding performances in both academic and athletic realms. Nothing can replace the self-satisfaction and excitement that the attainment of goals can give to the student. All the sacrifice and hard hours of preparation are then felt to be worth the heavy price paid. In the final analysis, all of us are successful achievers if we but do our best in striving to reach any goal. 12 16 . . . ZocfetUer Whether it be with that special guy or gal, a good buddy, or even the whole “gang” all of us here at RHHS enjoyed being together. While we were together we shared moments of frustration, hours of concentration, seconds of solitude and a countless amount of time in bewilderment. “Many people come and go through the doors of my life, taking what they can. Our moments were only seconds of a lifetime but so important because we shared what we could. Only a glimpse of the sun but enough to warm the heart.” “The times we shared together are remembered now only in my mind. A small but important part, shaping today’s world with yesterday’s memories. Another chapter in the unwritten biography of my life, never to be experienced again, remembered only in my mind.” “Our friendship will not be erased by the passage of time.” George Betts 17 . . . cMrul Seniors “We are about to begin a new existence. It is a time of great excitement and of some uncertainty — occasional butterflies in the stomach and feelings of loss, old friends left behind, new ones not yet familiar. It is time to think coherently about what lies ahead, about what you would like to do and what kind of person you would like to become. The kinship of adolescence has vanished as we commence to our new beginnings. We are the new adults.” Tamara R.
