Poised and waiting, the Spartan defense sets for a Berkshire play. The once again undermanned football team held their own in league competition chalking up • a 4-5-1 record. ii arrive s cone ,f85 I don ' t care what anyone says — this school does have tradition. Take the foot- ball team. Sure they had a dream year last season that couldn ' t be outdone. But the 25 players gave 110% this year in every game — win or lose. Or look at Rob Skrbis. Just LOOK at him! He knew he wasn ' t a world class cross country runner, but he still gave it his all. People just don ' t give up around here. After a year sabba- tical, the shed was finally painted by the Senior Class. Now that ' s tradition. Another year, another state wrestling title. The fourth in the last six years. No wonder Mr. Papouras is smiling. Like I said, if you take the time to look around, you will see all kinds of traditions here. And that ' s a fact! JJ J ■ . | ??« g iS«? , Opening

T H E Y ' R E OUR K 1 N D F After the first home cross-country meet on the newly designed Richmond Park course, team member Rob Skrbis lays ex- hausted on the football field. Rob came in 3rd to help the team beat Beach wood. Guidance Counselor, wrestling coach, athletic director, and all around good guy Mike Papouras sits waiting for another day ' s challenge. Mr. Papouras embodied many of the school tradi- tions with his 23 years experience at RHHS. Following a 2 year lapse, the Senior tradition of painting the shed was resumed by the Class of 1985. The money for the paint and brushes came out of the class treasury and all work was completed by class members. =3= Our tine: I Thefclai! 4 Opening

SHIFT IN ii And while we ' re on the subject of princi- ples — after 13 years Mr. Louis Chulick retired. Now we have a new face in the high school office. Mrs. Patricia Raiff was greeted very warmly by the faculty and the students. Another new face, Mrs. Kathy Bezdek took over the high school French classes. I can ' t keep up with all the changes here. Do I see a Junior in study hall? Sure, because the Junior Senior Lounge became the Senior Lounge this year. You can bet the Juniors weren ' t too happy about that change. And no one was happy about the enforcement of the hall passes. But it did spawn some very in- teresting objects serving as passes. Mr. Grant ' s skeleton, Mr. Gearhart ' s slide rule, and the computer lab disks. Well, there were new faces, new rules, and new ideas. And that ' s a fact! JJ 6 Opening
