Have you joined a car-
pool? It has become quite a
common thing at RMSH
during these gas shortage
days. Just the other day on my
way to school, I was annoyed
by a strange rattling noise
beside me. I turned my head,
only to view a jalopy
Volkswagen putting down the
road. I waved at the driver,
Pam Costen, for she is a good
friend of mine, and I smil^ as
I took the curve. Not a
moment later, I took a second
glance - also in the car were
two well-known teachers of
our school conserving energy -
by carpool transportation!
Those of us who go out for
lunch know the gas situation
well. As cars drive up to the
Dairy Queen, Sunset Phar
macy, Hardee’s, and other
“dining locations” one sees an
overpopulation of humans
emerge from an economized
car coming from the direction
of RMSH. One after the other
they file out quietly - because
a groan means no ride home!
Of course, there are some
enthusiasts who walk or ride
bicycles to school. Tim
Howard, Brian Nichols, and
other students conserve
gasoline in this way. These
students set an example for
the entire nation. I’ve also
seen a very ecology-minded
grown-up who rides her smog-
free vehicle everyday - one of
our own librarians, Mrs.
Bailey! (Obviously, she
conserves gas after sunset,
too, because she has a
flourescent orange jacket that
she wears and a flourescent

If you look around our city
or our school, you will notice
that even though a gas
shortage is present, people
find a way to get where they
must go, whether it be “01’
Bessy”, “Pat and Charlie”, a
new Suzuki or a faithful 10-
speed.!
For some reason, the gas
shortage does not affect
RMSH school spirit! Our
teams, especially our fan
tastically successful
basketball team, have been
well-supported at most of the
out-of-town games. February
28, March 1, and March 2,
buses were chartered for the
State Tournament Playoffs,
however, several cars jour
neyed to Greensboro for the
Playoffs, also.

Boosters
Create
Spirit
Did you see our basketball
players “pinned to the wall?”
The posters hanging in the
student lounge, the lobby, and
the main of(ice>all durijig the
Tournament and State
playoffs were sponsored by
the Booster Club of RMSH.
Throughout the school
year, 1973-74, the Booster Club
has striven to create better
school spirit and to give more
recognition towards athletics
such as football, wrestling,
and basketball.
During football season,
schedules were designed in
the shape of footballs with
changeable dates and op
ponents’ names. Wrestlers
were honored with posters
praising them and inviting
students to their matches. And
the basketball posters seemed
to be a “smash hit!”
Presently the club is
engaged in assiting the boy’s
and girl’s track teams in
keeping the scores, times, and
order of events.
The GRYPHON staff
honors the Booster Club this
month for its tremendous and
successful efforts in the past
and for those to come!
A dollar saved is a dollar
earned - before taxes.
Anyone can grow old — if
he is given the time.
