if mug Crowds fight through hall Fighting through the crowded hall between the typing rooms, only to reach a locker at the sound ofthe bell, students realized the inevitable. Tardy again! Overcrowding spread outside the school as well. The main parking lot was filled by 8:20 every morning, although school didn't start until 8:45! Sometimes it was even hard to get a space at 8:10. Working seniors, who parked and hiked before school then to their cars before work, were sometimes late for part time jobs. The Senior Class Officers set out to solve this problem: they proposed a sen- ior parking lot to the administration who called for a Student Council vote before it was approved. The scene in the parking lot and the hassle between classes were only part of school life at the Fiock. Assemblies were hard to schedule for the entire school because there was not enough space to hold everyone in the Girls' Gym. i i Top: On a rare occasion, senior Jon Primm walks through a deserted hallway.

Spirit captivates the Rock Spirit encompassed more than a foot- ball game or weekly pep rally. lt became the bind that many students had between each other and the school. Yet, with more than half of the student body new to the school, this bind took time. Some tried to keep one foot at their old school with old friends, while the other foot was pulling them into the Round Rock way of life . Often students became apathetic to the role change from old to new student and would not get involved with the school. However, the opposite took place this year. Spirit was on the rise. People began to care about what went on in their school. There was also the ever present fact that the year 1980-81 would be the last year as Dragons for most of the student body. Not only was this the last year for seniors at the Rock, those students that lived on the west end of the district would be attending Westwood High School in the fall of 1981. This may have been the reason that students began to take an interest about what went on here. There is the underlying feeling that when the school splits, the people may make a smooth transition, but spirit may be left behind.
