The little information that we knew came from overhearing discussions between our parents. Unconcerned, we troubled ourselves with meaningless projects which seemed most pressing. We had a very active year in the Olympics. West Germany released 5000 doves of peace opening day at the Munich Olympics. The games ended in a tragedy when Palestinian terrorists broke into the Israeli teams quarters. At dawn they killed two athletes and threatened to take the lives of nine more if 200 Arabs weren't released from Israeli prisons. lThe lives of the nine and of the terrorists were taken.l This began a decade of murders, kidnappings, hijackings and bombings. The President of the US Olympic -Meommittee, Avery Brundage, said We cannot allow a handful of terrorists to destroy the nucleus of international cooperation and good will . . . The games must go on. They did continue, bringing out some very outstanding athletes. Olga Korburt, age 17, enchanted t.v. viewers after she performed magnificently to earn two gold medals in gymnastics. Mark Spitz launched seven world swimming records which granted him seven gold medals - adding a spree of points for the US. Denver voters became the first ever to reject hosting the 76' Winter Olympics in their city. At Democratic Headquarters, james W. McCord jr. and four others were caught ransacking the Watergate office building. This event uncovered one of the world's biggest scandals. The Washington National Zoo received two giant pandas lHsing-Hsing and Ling-Lingl as gifts from China after Nixon opened relations with them. These relations with China aided Nixon inrbeing re-elected for a second term. Harry S. Truman C881 diedgin Kansas City. f'All in the Family rated top on Nielson's charts. The Oscars were awarded to Liza Minnelli for Best Actress in her performance in Cabaret and Marlon Brando refusedyto accept his award for Best Actor over a dispute of rights for the Indians at Wounded Knee. He earned this award for his performance in The Godfather . This movie also captured Best Picture. Best Best albums for the year were: Paul Simon's Paul Simon , Dan FogeIberg's Home Free and The Moody Blues Seventh Sciournn. . .. .,...,,..., W., ,..,, . . .,,. ,. . ., .. ,A , . . . . . .. Back at RHS the year was a surprising one. Golf took the Skyline Championship with a record of 'I9-1 and placed third in State. Baseball also did well that year for they had players on the All Conference team consisting of: Rick Sabell, Bob Blaser, Steve Meyers, Pat Kennedy, Bob Russell and Gordon Nishimoto. They also participated in the All State Tournament. The boys were: Rick Sabell, john Monaco, Steve Meyer and Gordon Nishimoto. To finish off this record of events was the All State Game in which Pat Kennedy, Steve MeyerNandgRick Sabell participated. The team was coached by Coach jenkins. The Wrestling Team also went to State that year. The Yearbook was dedicated to Mr. Rhoda. Ranum sold for the first year, RHS tee-shirts. Faculty Follies was a smash that year along with the smash Mr. Rhoda made when he wrecked the Auto Mechanics car into the wall. After a numerous amount of false fire drills Ranum actually had a fire in the east wing. A new addition to the clubs and scholastics was the.ROTC. To top the year off, two of Ranum's students expressed themselves by streaking down the halls. lin case you're wondering who did it, it was Dave Bensen and Steve Iohnson.I Those childhood corners of fears and frustration, Could tell of fantasy tales and crayon drawings of purple blues, He peeled paint in stiff wittled strips picked at from boredom. Marking of shoes with heel poundings or scrapings. Those memories of childhood corners lie open to examination, or termination, A What ever the case may be.
