DE S Tradition continue: splrlt rolling down arades are a tradi- ' 'X fl tion at Richardson. , , 7 They add to the l Q celebration of J holidays and I f I school activities f f,ff, . and provide a ' ' c h a n c e f o r L f' V, 'Z I students involved J 'I in school to show off their spirit. Unlike other schools in the RISD, RHS has a Homecoming Parade which has ex- isted for many years and become a tradition. The Homecoming Parade is a lot of fun. Many students are involved and it's exciting to see them all showing their school spirit to our community, said senior Marilyn Powell. A lot of time, planning and hard work go into preparing for a parade. Floats of all shapes, -colors and sizes as well as decorated cars and trucks filled with students are entered in the parade. LCF, GSL and Key CLub, JETS and work pro- gram students were just a small portion of all who were involved in the parade. Hoping your club float will win some sort of award is just one reason that so much labor is used to make a float, said senior Beth Collerain. Themes, the basis of a parade, set off imagination as those participating build decorated floats, trucks and exotic cars. Golden Moments, chosen by the Stu- dent Council, was the 1985 Homecoming theme. Our homecoming theme this year was great, said GSL senior Christine Winn. lt provided a lot of different ideas for floats to be made and for our football game and dance, stated Winn. Although the Homecoming Parade seems to be the most favored, the Christmas Parade has the largest turn out of people, not only participating but also watching. Everyone loves Christmas and there is no better way to get into the Christmas spirit than begin with a Christmas Parade, said senior Aimee Arceneaux. The Christmas parade is unique. lt is the only parade in which all four RISD schools participte together and celebrate the beginning of the Christmas season. l always look forward to the Christmas parade. Knowing that you are a part of a large number of people involved in mak- ing others happy is a reward in itself, said senior Flag Corps member Dana Tidwell. - Stacy Elro 28 f Student Life i Marching down Belt Line in the Homecoming Parade, senior lieutenant Brandy Barbee leads the Eaglettes in through basic routines. fMulveyJ 5 v, l i l B Z i in l

SHG Bloomie's or Macy': Way to spend you f rom Bloom- ' ingdales to 7 Macy's. From K Steak and Ale X I to Burger W! King. S30 here and S5 there. Before you know it, your money's spent! Spending is a pastime for many RHS students. While some spend theirs shopping, others just go out and have a good time with their friends and before they know it, their money's gone. l spend my money on a lot of different things, it's really hard to say what on, but it's mostly clothes, said senior Trina Richman. Those who go shopping are attracted to such stores as BloomingdaIe's, Macy's, Neiman Marcus, Judy's, and Contempo Casuals. Each year many students come to these stores to buy the latest fads and fashions, and they spend various amounts of money each time they go. An average of S500 to S1500 per year is usually spent by each student on clothes. l really don't know exactly how much l spend, it just depends on what l need, said sophomore Renee Norvell. lt really varies, it could be anywhere from S50 to S100 each time I go. Explained junior Deana Nix, l think that shopping is a good way to spend your money, it's a good pastime on the weekends if you have nothing to do, continued Nix, It's not a waste of money like a lot of other things. But shopping is not the only way that the students of RHS spend their money. Sometimes l go out with 30 f Student Life friends and we'll get something to eat somewhere, said sophomore Cathy Frost. According to junior Brett Kilgore though, shopping is not what he spends his money on, I like spending my money on my car, so I can make it look really nice, said Kilgore. l have to buy gas and things for my engine, and those sorts of things really add up. Other various ways of spen- ding money for amusement are: Six Flags, school dances and football games, going out to eat, or just filling up their car's tank with gas, or going out with friends to have a good time. l really like to spend money said sophomore Tam- my Buckholtg lt's a really good way to pass the time, and you can do a lot with it. - Alicia Kiefer Brooches and costume jewelry are where most of sophomore Mariah MaIec's money goes. She usually spends most of her paycheck each week on these fashionable items. fReavisj 'On the Move' is one of my favorite stores, said sophomore Betty Bren- neman. Many of Betty's sweaters and slacks come from this store in the Galleria. QReavisj
