Assemblies including pep rallies, NHS inductions, the Spring Fling, and the senior awards assembly rewarded both education and spirit. Field trips of all sorts were taken throughout the year. The senior class took a trip to Six Flags, Mu Alpha Theta and JETS visited Corpus Christi and the foreign language clubs attended symposiums and conven- tions. The junior 'class worked together to carry out this year's prom theme Carousels and Wishing Wells. Spring fever hit many students, sending them outside to eat, study or chat with friends. There was even a student-faculty baseball game in the spring where pent up energies let loose and the faculty out-played the students for a teacher victory. The year ended with cap and gown sales and finally graduation night, the highlight of the seniors' high school life. Although the ac- tivities were typical high school events, just the fact that they were a part of Round Rock High made them unique. The pride of RRHS was definitely a part of this year, a year set apart from all the others, the Year of the Dragon. 5 Standing in one of many long lines at Six Flags, seniors Sharon Robertson, John Bun- ner, Julie Perry and Jennifer Wallin, enjoy themselves while meeting seniors from other schools who attended the special senior night at Six Flags. ,ga-Q., x 1.1, was s is 1 if . ssssrgri is if f rf Rx.. illillf.

To mark the passing years and the influence of a singular year, it is popular for students to leave behind a token of their attachments to the school. In 1982-83, the Student Council used their time and money to donate this painting of the dragon labovej inside the field house. This year's Student Council, senior class and participating school clubs had local art teacher and sculptor Seppo Aarnos create this statue of a dragon lbelowl which was mounted to the front of the fieldhouse. Both of the creations helped to raise the level of school spirit and increased the feeling of school pride. Both old and new helped to mark the Year of the Dragon.
