Technologically, robots are movin' us into a new era. Television commercials clammor that we should move up the ladder of success with this or that computer, and that we should move about town in a certain model of auto- mobile. Other ads cry, Make the right move, as you move through life and sign up for this insurance policy or that program. It's something like the popular lyrics of mo- vin' on down the road, or a game in which we make the right chess moves. For most of us, we probably feel as one student put it, We've been moving around all of our lives. For some sixty new students to the M-RH High School this year, moving has brought them into a new building, with new faces, new friends, and new responsibilities. Perhaps so much moving is frustrating, but we can't stop moving and we should at least take a look at where we have been. Mr. Schondelmeyer helps Sherry Hughes compute an algebraic equation. You won't believe it, but I'm reading all this stuff so I can get into college. His Duran Duran shirt always helps Mike Hinchcliff type faster.

r Movin' is the catch word for our yearbook theme this year. All of us are moving. We are never static. From kindergarten, we've been instructed to move up in line or move down the row; move to the back of the bus; move over; or move along, and usually these directives come from well-meaning parents, teachers, or other adults, who are just trying to make life simpler, safer, or more organized. But high school comes along and suddenly the phrases are changed to he's a real mover, or someone else was moved to tears by a favorite soap. The local sports hero makes all the right moves on the basketball court or football field. We sometimes get worried be- cause a friend is movin' in the wrong circles. We hear on the news that the nation is mo- vin' forward in the race for space.

This has been a year for movies on a much broader scale. For some, the 1985-1986 school year will be remembered as the year when little brothers and sisters and their teachers were moved from neighborhood schools in the district to grade level centers at Bruce, Valley, Chaney, and West Richmond. We will also remember it as the year we began the term in the middle of the 1-70 World Series. Teens and parents alike will recall this as the year the St. Louis Cards nearly beat the Kansas City Royals. Remember the frenzy, the red and white days, the banners, the hats, and even the yards decorated in Card memorabilia. Two other unprecedented moves were made in our state this year, as Missouri was introduced to its first lottery and its own law requiring seat belts for all automobile users. On a broader scale, we will remember the tragedies that dominated the news. This was the year when space shuttle Challenger exploded moments after lift-off, claiming the , Junior John Jones, who no longer has this much hair, held down the front steps for us. Senior class president Madonna Wiseman did her crepe paper routine for homecoming.
