I attended Stevens High School in Rapid City, SD. Our team was the Raiders and our colors were blue and silver.

I tried to remember the words to the school song and have now lost half of them but I know the tune. I used to go to the pep fests, too, before home games (the only days we girls were allowed to wear slacks--but then you'd better show up for the game because they looked for you--was the only reason I went to games--LOL!--to be able to wear slacks those few days a year.)<br /><br />I still have my school homecoming pins and the pep club beanie! (In pep club because we got out a little early, too--and the company of my girlfriends.) Sad, I know. Our school colors were black and gold.

And our football team never won a game in the whole time I was there! Basketball was more fun (and warmer watching) as we occasionally won one.
