TOGETHER Summer fades as relationships grow within RCHS social circles Although RCHS contained dynamically diverse groups of people with a potpourri of interests, there existed one common reason for which they enjoyed returning to school: friendship — RC style. Whether they became interested because of the sports, the arts, the academics, or their lunch half hour, friendships made the year special. In the hallways, commons, media center, or classes, friends could make a bad day better or a good day fantastic. Friendships added flair to Cooper's school spirit. Students rallied together at games and pep fests and worked within organizations to show that Hawk pride blazed alive and flourished. Athletics and the arts gave rea- son for friends to gather outside of regular school hours. These social activities not only encouraged new relationships to grow but also allowed the old friendships to continue. Some of the most popular extracurricular to meet new friends included the school dances. From the chilly October Homecoming until the sizzle of the Prom, the dance craze brought memories on the dance floor. Friends moved with style to the trendiest music. cheering on the weekend and celebrating with one another. No matter what RC activities teens participated in. the social events throughout the year gave them a chance to broaden their circle of friends along the way. 8 — Opening
