This year at Maplewood-Richmond Heights, We have heard a lot about tradi- tions. It’s been said that, “It’s difficult to go against traditions,” “We can’t break with traditions,” “It’s been that way for- ever.” Others have commented that “Tra- ditions are changing”and that “it’s neces- sary in order to move forward and exper- ience progress.” Junior Chris White said, “Traditions are alright, but if we never broke them, we would still be living like the cavemen.” Kevin Conway, history teacher, comment- ed that “Good traditions motivate good school spirit.” Barbara Miller, music teacher, stated that, “Without traditions, our school years would be missing the ex- 1 periences which make up memories. ” Freshman, Patsy Fulhorst felt that “Tra- ditions are great, because they remind us of our cultural heritage, and, for that rea- son, they are important for us to carry on. ” Not only are there old traditions we wish to stand by, and those we wish to change, but we at M-RH often create our own new trends and patterns, as we adopt a project or fad that we like, and hang on to it for years to come. Traditions main- tained, discarded, and acquired have all been a part of the 1984 School year. We hope that these will be apparent as you identify familiar faces and activities in the following pages of the ’84 MAPLE LEAVES.
