New activities make year unique This year was in some ways totally unique, new activities added excitement and change to the school year. For the first time, an Academic Decathjlon team was formed. Nine students with grade point averages of A, B and C all competed against the Westwood High School team after weeks of daily preparation after school. Also, Future Problem Solving was in- troduced to Round Rock High School. Sophomores and other students who had competed in junior high made up four teams who proceeded on to the state level competi- tion. What made this year the year of the Dragon, though, was the unveiling of the steel dragon sculpture on the fieldhouse. It was funded by the Student Council, senior class and participating school clubs. A dedication honoring this occasion was held March 26. Other activities included the National Honor Society induction of 47 new members, Student Council elections, cheerleading, Dragonette and the mascot tryouts, semester finals and finally senior graduation, closing another year - one uniquely its own.
