New Banner to Shoot the Breeze In 1982, a new southern tradition was introduced. The seniors agreed that each graduating class would leave the school a gift of beautification. The first gift was a stone nameplate now residing in front of the Raider homeland. For the second gift, the Class of 1983 retiled the senior area table in our school colors. As the third gift, this year's seniors have presented an exact duplicate of the orginial Raider flag flown from 1979 to 1984. Each senior was asked for a contribution to purchase the new flag and an engraved plaque. Both Kizer and Patterson Elementary and Linn Mill donated flagpoles. One will carry a state flag, the other a Raider flag, and the third pole will carry an American flag. Mr. Parker and the masonry classes volunteered their services. Overseen by Mr. Donnell, the project added a touch of pride as well beauty. Apparently, seniors have discovered a constructive way of leaving their mark before making their final exit.
