Editorial Praise the Warriors Harrison High School has had somewhat of a tradition of not showing appreciation for the talents of others. Until this year. We are proud of the student body for their active participation in assemblies, at games, and for their support of school organizations. Coach Don Watson's young football team had good support from their fans, despite their 1-9 record. The Legend feels that the real winners in high school athletics are the people who participated on the field and in the stands. The start of basketball season had been a depressant for many years. However, Mel Garland's explosive team put Harrison fans into a frenzy every time they stepped onto the court. We feel that the early success of the basketball team kept school spirit higher than any other previous winter. In so doing, both players and fans should be proud of the good they accomplished in the name of Harrison High School. Performing organizations continued to produce work at standards higher than expected for high school students. Harrison singers and musicians led the list of All-City and All-State organizations. Thespians presented plays that were attended by all areas of the community. Harrison stood for the best in performing arts in 1978. School organizations took an active part in both the school and the community. The all-school fund raisers by groups such as Jr. Civitan, National Honor Society, and Student Council were well-supported, and benefitted many needy people throughout Evansville. We feel that the advisers and students who participated in these activities should be proud of the good work that they accomplished. Many good things were accomplished by representatives of Harrison, and the student body should be proud of their part in recording history for the Legend of 1978.

Who would ever want to forget the headlines out of The Prophet proclaiming Harrison victories in basketball, baseball, tennis and track? Or the stories about the beautiful crownings of Homecoming Queens Kathy Nicholson and Jeanne Russell? What about stories on groups like the band marching in the Kentucky Derby parade? Will anyone really remember all of the teachers' names? The events of 1978 made this a memorable year in the history of Harrison. They were covered regularly by The Prophet throughout the year. The trouble is, sometimes time is necessary to adequately decide the importance of events. That time is never available to the strict deadlines which limit the coverage of a high school publication. Another problem occurs because a newspaper is read once and then discarded. A yearbook is something permanent, recording the year for the owner so that it can be looked back upon to remember what has occurred. We have taken The Prophet and the events of 1977-78 to preserve this year as aLegend at William Henry Harrison High School.
