Student Life The l965-66 year was not on ordinary year for Harold L. Richards High School students. A new building, a new school name, and expanded educational opportunities were given to them. During the year as the school became more nearly complete and programs were developed, the students' activities centered around this new school. New clubs, in- tramural sports teams, and school dances offered much di- version. As the school took shape, a new school spirit and life grew as well. New traditions and spirit were set, and underclassmen will be sure to continue the pace for the fol- lowing years. The first students to step into the newly built Harold L. Richards High School were the iuniors on August 3lst. The seniors came the following day, September lst. The process of learning the school layout was not easy, and wrong dir- ections were given frequently, but unintentionally. In spite of the incomplete building, students were orderly and oc- cepted the inconveniences with good will. Life onthe campus was both diverse and exciting. The students worked together so successfully this past year that it will be remembered by all of us throughout the coming years.

The Art Departments provided a One ot the most interesting academic electives is art. The Art De- partment ot the Harold L. Richards Cluster was responsible tor many ot the decorations throughout the year. At Christmas the departments had displays and murals dedicated to the Spirit ot Christmas. Other departments in the schools called on the art students to provide a creative touch for their special affairs. Art is a human activity having for its purpose the transmission to others of the highest and best feelings to which men have risen. Harold L. Richards students who had acquired an artistic ability tound it a challenge in the new art departments. Foundations were renewed by the art instructors, and the students' art work moved ahead with brief sketches and then progressed into more complicated designs. As Robert Browning said, One may do whate'er one likes in art: the only thing is to make sure one likes it. Art students Barbara Rudolph and Nick Keane sketched a still lite in Artlll. l.,,. As Larry Kennelly posed in clown costume, Sue Smith tried her hand attigure drawing. ch Mary Blamquist, Connie Langren, Barbara Krizek, .lean Fredricks and Linda Hense ea worked on special assignments tor Mrs. Morrison at Northwest Building.
