Ill week features ‘goose busters’ The intercom crackled Friday morning dur- ing first period. A fiery pep rally had been held in the commons area before school, and almost everyone was ready for the impending game. Mrs. Janie Christian came over the loudspeaker and said, “... We realize that everyone is excited about tonight’s game, but we must remember that today is a regular school day. Thank you.” A couple of groans were heard, but then everyone got down to business. When the bell rang dur- ing third period, dismiss- ing the band, Stars and football players, many students waited eagerly to hear the familiar Lee- Week sound of the band and Stars marching down the halls to get people out of class. However the wait was in vain, because the band simply waited in the Winnie Brown gym for everyone else to get there. “This was disappointing,” said LaDonna Dixon, a senior. “This was the first year that I hadn’t been in Stars, and I was looking forward to marching down the halls with everyone, as had been the tradition.

Ullllf ends with 21-6 victory An extremely excited crowd entered into the Winnie Brown gym, ready for a pep rally. After numerous cheers Ronnie Kluch, a former coach, made his annual moving speech, proving that some traditions could be kept sacred. After the cheers were over and the seniors had walked away with the spirit stick, the crowd in the gym cleared as students returned to class. Excited, nervous chatter went on amongst many people, discussing the game that night, which would be won 21 to 16. and songs, Mr. At the end of the week, Patty McGill, a senior Star and former band member, summed up most of it by saying, “Traditions are an important part of this week, and House Bill 72 crushed the life out of most of them. Yet, we compensated well, and, hopefully, we created some new traditions that won’t get in the way of the academic part of our lives. The week went very well.” 14 lee week
