No school activity was unimportant to Principal Reed. He participated in or at- tended pep rallies, concerts, dinners, fund-raisers and ball games. At one of the pep rallies in 1981, he proclaimed Victoria to be Stroman Country. Twenty-seven years of loyal service to Vic- toria Independent School District and 18 years of dedication to Stroman High School ended in June when Mr. Ted B. Reed retired as principal. As the first and only principal of Stroman, Mr. Reed has been a great influence on the students and faculty. He showed us, through his example, how to accomplish our goals. He set high standards for us to follow, and with his sup- port and help, we attained these standards. From cheering for all our athletic teams at their games, to supporting other school organizations at their concerts and activities, Mr. Reed has always been here for us, giving students real pride in their principal. In fact, it was through Ted Reed that we first experienced Raider Pride. It will be hard to replace a man like Ted B. Reed. We will miss him, for he has shown us the way to be real and true Stroman Raiders. ZJne Ljt ranevine Mini Mag 121
