6 - Opening A s the November 6 election drew J-a near, signs in yards became a common sight. For the first time in the history of the United States, a woman was selected as a candidate in a na- tional election. Walter Mondale chose Geraldine Ferraro as his running mate for the presidency. Robbinsdale Cooper experienced a similar change, but in a different format. Bill Balfanz became the first male dancer on a high school danceline. He received a great deal of attention on the local level as well as on the national level. Articles about Bill appeared in the Post, the Minneapolis Star and Tribune and many out-of-state newspapers. School began at 7:30 instead of 8:00, as in other years. One reason this change was made was so that students in sports could get to their games earlier. General Hospital addicts were also pleased with the time change because it gave them a chance to see the last half hour of their favorite soap opera every day. Another change was the addition of some District 287 students to the school. RCHS students attended a slide presentation in the auditorium to ac- quaint them with these new Hawks. . b Myra Hackford helps Mark Newman check addition problems with a calculator.
