I 4 . . Cliff Lowry, senior, is hugged by a volunteer for his outstanding effort made dur- ing the track and field events at the Special Olympics. This picture shows the true meaning and purpose of the games: Everyone is a winner. Stuart Ragsdale, sophomore, teacher and Coach Geri Lynn and mother Janet Ragsdale cheer on other participating teammates. Spirit is another prominent quality of these athletes. 1, Special Olympics encourages kids Here at RRHS, a unique group of kids took part in the annual Special Olympics. These games were as similar to the real Olympics as possible. The opening and clos- ing ceremonies were a spectacular sight which conveyed the entire theme of the Special Olympics: love, dedication and a desire to better oneself. By watching a competition, it was evident how much time, effort, and care went into the preparation for these games. It took the services of many talented and caring people to help these Olympians reach their per- sonal goals. The motto of the Special Olym- pics is: Let me win, but if I cannot win, let me be brave in the attempt. Brian Cram, senior, and Coach Jo Lynn Jackson discuss optional strategies at a basketball tournament. Before returning to play, Brian searches for a weakness in the opponent's offense. After resuming play, Cliff Lowry and Brian Cram try to prevent the other team from scoring. Due to the uni- queness of these special players, competition is not a game of ferocity, but a chance to meet others. SPECIAL OLYMPICS PARTICIPANTS: CFirst Rowl Patricia Pederzani, Lydia Beltran. fSecond Rowl Coach Geri Lynn, Amber Rogers, Stuart Ragsdale, Gloria DelaRosa, coach Carol Clark. fThird Rowl Susan Anderson, Jon Dean, Rodney Wolf, Lisa Wickham.
