C ity (champs! » AH schools have rivals. . . . it ' s a traHTubn . There ' s UT and A M, Army and Navy, and, Stroman and Victoria High School. Most of the time the infamous cross- town rivalry is downplayed. However, it is a com- pletely different story during the week of THE game. This year was no different. As usual, Black Thurs- day came, with most of the students, and some of the faculty, dressed in black in anticipation and respect for VHS ' s loss at the game Friday night. Friday brought blue and gold day and an unex- pected controversy. The controversy concerned the home-team locker room at Memorial Stadium. Although the Raiders never had used the room before, new head coach, Harry McCluskey requested Mr. Ted Reed, principal, to make sure his team had its use during the game since they were the home team. However, since the VHS booster club had painted it and air-conditioned it, the VHS coaching staff felt that it was not a home team dressing room, but the Sting dressing room. Stroman used the dressing room that night and some feel that the controversy sparked their will to win even more than usual. They did win, 40-6, with the final touchdown scored in the last nine seconds of the game. When it comes to the SHS-VHS game, both teams are out to do their best, probably even more than usual. It is just part of life when one team wins by a large margin. In 1981, VHS won 47-0. In 1984, Stroman won 40-6. We ' re going to win! After tonight ' s game, we will be the city champs. Patrick Felder and Kurt King confirm a victory for the Raiders over the Stingarees at the largest pep rally of the season. The Raiders won 40-6. ;• % It ' u emblems on blue lid Friday.

5 OsD Once a year we roll back the clock to the 1 950s, when Elvis was ' King ' and poodle skirts and leather jackets were ' cool. ' Poodle skirts, peddle pushers, jeans rolled up at the cuffs. Greased, slicked back hair and cat-eye glasses. Girls filled the halls with their petticoats and guys walked the halls with lipstick kisses on their cheeks. It was 50s Day and students and faculty members strolled to the oldies played on the loudspeaker be- tween classes and at lunchtime. Classes went about their business as usual, however, there was definite- ly a happy days feeling in the air. At the after-school pep rally, the choir and Super 16 performed a medley of songs and dance routines from the era of their parents. Teachers turned back the clock and led the students in cheers from their own days as cheerleaders. 20 Special Pep Rallies Drama students are always gregarious individuals and 50s Day was just the ex- cuse Darron Cardosa, Melanie Gadsden, Theresa Miller, Michael Filla, Kim Jones, Anne Schanen, Gwen Rucker, Jamie Villerreal, Jeanne Timme and Pauline Rivera needed to give their im- pressions of teens during that era. Pep rallies are always fun on this special day, especially when faculty members, including Jan Claussen, lead the cheers, 1950s style.
