Former student council adviser, Mrs. Mavis said: “Accusations and rumors are common e ich year. It seemed that no matter%ow carefully one tried to do things accurately, so- meone was always convinced that so- meone else should have won.” According to Mrs. Bokhart: “Every homeroom was given the opportunity to vote and ballots were counted by faculty members. Any information obtained prior to Friday’s assembly were only ninwrs.” Mrs. Sperry, junior class adviser, said: “It is the responsibility of the students to see fhat they vote.” American Lit was transported to the past with costumes worn ' by juniors.

Victorious game concludes dedication After many years of planning, the dreams became reality as the football team began their season on the new field. Along with the excitement of playing the football game on the new field, came a winning season. At the first game under the lights, Richmond fell victim to the Muskrats. The field is a result of eight years of planning. Delay in construction was due to the district and national economic problems of late 70’s and early 80’s. With the return to a six hour day, the plans for the sports complex continued. Actual construction began last July. “I think we will have a sense of unity and a newly discovered source of pride within our school,” said Mr. Ford. Bleachers, pressbox, lights, goal posts, fencing and construction costs ran the expense upwards of half a million dollars.The construction was completed mainly using school personnel. As Mrs. Pippel encouraged the Muskrats, the football team combined forces for an exciting victory over St. Clair in overtime. Dedication — 9
