Rivalry with Truman . . . bonfires . . . homecoming . . . initlations . . . senior S rings and keys . school song . . . fight song all 0 are traditions which allow us to relate with the present and project into the future. Against the silhouettes created by the blazing bonfire before the ChrismanfTruman game. the cheerleaders chant cheers in an effort to arouse enthusiasm. Waiting on the sidelines. the bear mascot. barely disguised by the thread-bare costume, stands in silence anticipating a touchdown. Halftime interrupts. the tension builds as the voice comes over the loud-speaker to announce the '79-'80 Fall Homecoming queen, Kim Wood. After a number of years traditions become as embedded as the school seal on the front hall. But as traditions develop. so can they change. The class of '80 is the last to run around the halls in unusual costumes. lt all ended with Shay's dress-up ini- tiation in September, Other changes included a summer yearbook and juniors choosing oval senior rings. Even though traditions change, some will always be the same: Truman is stll the biggest rival. the school song is sung. even though Miss Wilson and Mr. Hoppe may be the only ones who know the words. The fight song is still chanted at every game: fight, fight, fight. we're gonna win tonightl GINGER COLEMAN 4. ve- .-,ag , - ,- V- f, . af i ' 'ji K fs-X-ii f.
