WE ARE. January « DY STATE! The Millers were ranked second in the state this January by The Oregonian’s poll. At the end of January the Millers were 13 and O with enormous support from — the SHS student body. When students showed their enthusiasm by bringing con fetti to the basketball games, everyone in the student section became in- — volved. But this tradition was soon eliminated when confetti was banned from the sym to make the floor safer for the players. The end of the first semester required a second : registration. There was a cut-back in faculty members for the second semester, so students had to register again, cancelling the registration that was previously : completed in December. World class runner Alberto Salazar visited SHS. To. everyone’s surprise he did not come to talk about run- ning. He was speaking to encourage students to be- come involved with the volunteer “Big Brother, Big | Sister” program. Most of the questions asked were not about volunteer work; students asked everything from, “What kind of running shoes do you wear?” to “Who is your next tough opponent?” The first annual Springfield vs. Thurston rivalry game of 1983 was held on the I8th. The mighty Millers proved that “Big Red Was Dead.” A new tradition was started at SHS during this — month. Larry Baker, Bob Harral, and sophomore Rick Ellis were selected to be “Miller Men.” They put on their jeans, workshirts, suspenders, and logging boots to become the MILLER MEN for SHS.
