Summer: laughter, happiness, romance Just because we took time out of our busy days to ride a tricvcle or take an occasional turn on a swing doesn ' t mean we ' re children. Although we flocked to see The Muppet Movie in droves, we grew up too. We got driver ' s licenses and applied to colleges. We held down jobs and did home- work. We helped Mr. Robert Taylor campaign for re-election as fifth district councilman, and worked at the poUs on election day, voted in the mayoral elec- tion, and also voted for Home- coming queens. We took inter- est in things on a large scale like the Olympics, the energy crisis and the gas shortage. On a local scale we watched our new school superintendent coping with problems like desegrega- tion of schools and graduation requirements. We took interest in fashions as we walked the halls in spiked heels, french jeans, and business-like suits. We got together at dances and parties. The girls got their turn to ask boys out at the Sadie Hawkins dance. We went to concerts, supported rock and roll, and put down disco. We had spirit. We got involved. That ' s why we ' re special. That ' s why we ' re Riley. BOOKS AND STUDIES forgotten, juniors Zora Zorich, Wendy Wheeler, Laura Davidson let loose after a hard day at school. A POPULAR meeting place for Rhonda Bennett and George Mar- tin is Battell Park in Mishawaka. 8 Summer Activities
