DAYS AND DAYS: PRACTICE Days and days of sul- try summer practice and the constant bark of commands mold perfection as we know it. lVlany students look forward to football games, band performances and drill marches with growing anti- cipation. These expositions can only be enjoyed by fellow Raiders who understand the meaning of trial and error. According to Varsity football player Anthony Bara, The practice is rough. and sometimes it makes you feel like quitting, but then you think about those Friday nights . . . Mlohaal Daal added, You have to sacrifice yourself to get in shape so all that time at practice is really worth it. Football is one of the most physically demanding sports, but Friday nights would not be as spectacular without the special effects supplied by the band. cheer- leaders, and the JROTC. Liaa Coggin: and Gwan Hampton, like most Varsity cheerleaders, enjoy cheer- ing the team on, building stunts and arousing school spirit. Liaa remarked, lt's a lot of hard work, but I enjoy it. Gwan stated, Practice pays off at camp in competi- tions as well as at the foot- ball games. Being centerfield before the games and at halftime is a job that requires a lot of skill. Remarks Senior French horn player Mark Howard, Practice is hard, but at the same time is real- ly a lot of fun. I'm really for summer practice. Actually. I think we need more sum- mertime practice so we'll be more prepared for the games. Mark, like Nawall Brown and Miohalla Fow- lar, agreed that summer practice didn't interfere with their jobs or other ac- tivities because they are planned for well in advance. While being the newest member of the Raider fami- ly may add a lot of pressure to their field performance, JROTC2 holds their own in appearance and show- manship. Captain David Moora shares, . . . there's always room for improve- ment, but we're pretty good as it is. We work hard as a team and that's what pays off in the long run. Unity seems to be the key, not only with the JROTCI, but with all orga- nizations here at South Rowan. The instructions here are designed to ex- pound leadership, citizen- ship, responsibility. self- discipline, and respect to all those individuals who are ready to conquer the future and all its obstacles. Preparation through self determination is the ideolo- gy which shapes the minds and souls of the Raiders: a shape that is of critical im- portance to one's self as well as the world as a unit. Those that brave these terms of perfection prove to be the leaders and the builders of tomorrow, a to- morrow unlike any other, with the power of forever in its hands. Although these forth- comings may seem intimi- dating to some, they seem to foreshadow a promising and knowledgeable future. By: Kally Hanriokson and Kim Bwinaon As Mlohaal Daal ISE! and Joay Strickland ISSJ practice a difficult man- euver, Todd Earnhardt C501 awaits with growing anticipation. Raiders such as these exert leadership Qualities through their own self- determination and athletic abilities. Stated. Joay Btrlokland, Self disci- pline is always the key to a winning team, without it we'd all suffer. B

Counselor Nllee Bennie Btevene Mre. Linde Lewlng cheerfully explains the COPS test to Kim Bleek, Mlcheel Kerr, and Tlffeny 1 -5,5 v - 1 ' 45' . 3 Q 'f 'FZ 3 . 5 12 ' fl fl ,ig ll av ,.. concentrates on informing senior Angle MeCIemrock of various college opportunities. Many students, like Angle, are appreciative of the guidance departrneniis help. Cempbell. COPS, Career Occupational Preference System, is an interest inventory that helps ambitious students to define the kinds of careers they are interested in pursuing. Our strong guidance depart-'nent with a touch of humor makes difficult tests much easier to take and understand. Cl-IAPT Tl-IE FUTURE: GUIDANCE Facing a future unprepared is like entering an unlit room. Our chance of success in a tech- nically advanced society is in- creased by the assistance of our guidance department. Without them, the future is merely a capricious journey into the unknown. They, like a candle flame, shed a small sphere of light on the darkness of our un- certainty. Guidance counselors, Mr. Bill Cranfield, Mre. Linde Lewing, Mise Bonnie Btevene, and secretary Nlre. Joyce Cline, strive to direct us to- wards a bright and satisfying life. Flex- ibility and diversity of character enable them to relate to us on a personal basis. They understand our indecision about what college to choose and what career to pursue. Since they know that our voyage into adulthood will be encompassed by many pitfalls, they provide much scholarship infor- mation and special program opportu- 'ICJ nities that will enrich our minds. They attempt to instill in us moral principles that will enable us to boldly encounter life's challenges. This new generation's future is far different from that of previous years. They will be living in an extremely high tech society, therefore. we are pushing the awareness of futuristic jobs. explains Lewing. Cranfield is in agreement with Lewing, but he also feels that it is important for people to set ethical priorities straight while they are in their youth. l-le feels that this will aid in attaining fulfillment in life. Through training, hard work and past experiences, our guidance coun- selors are capable of giving us sound advice about personal and scholastic issues. l-lowever, they emphasize that it is better for us to derive our own solutions because it would bring us more satisfaction. Seeing the dif- ference or the results my counseling has made in someone's life is a great reward for me, expresses Stevens. Constantly lurking in the corners of their minds is a shadow of compas- sion for our quest in to the future. lf concerned at all, you could not go home without thinking about a stu- dent who had a problem, Stevens emphasizes. Cline, in accordance with Btevene, can also see the concern students have for their futures. She feels that since S5010 of our student body plans to further their education after graduation, a strong guidance department with a vast knowledge of secondary institutions is needed. I believe students should start compil- ing information about various colleges and technical schools as soon as possible, says Cline. Realization of the fact that they can be there for us to talk to and to give us needed information does not change the reality that they can only consti- tute a mere stepping stone in the de- velopment of our lives. The best advice I can give to a student, says Lewing, is to always have a goal to strive for. Cranfield sums up the best way they can help us, To have a friend, you must be a friend.
