But there is a side of Principal Thomas which many RHSers do not see. Few know of his fascination with . . . cars, photography and traveling s long as he can remember, Dr. Thomas has loved cars. While studying at Colgate University, he first attended the United States Grand Prix. He still journeys to New York annually to watch the race and to meet several champion drivers. Dr. Thomas col- lects exotic carsg although in the past he has raced cars, he now is more interested in restoring them. His ac- quisitions include a Triumph TR3 and TR7, a Porsche and a Lotus 7. He anticipates purchasing a Ferrarri in the future and adds that my ulti- mate dream is to own an Ace-Bris- tol. Dr. Thomas uses his camera to en- hance his hobby of collecting and racing cars. He became interested in photography during college, he took a photography class, part of a physics program in which he was enrolled. Ever since then, Dr. Thomas has always carried a camera. His photo- graphs of race cars adorn his office walls. At home he has a fully-equipped darkroom. Dr. Thomas enjoys devel- oping pictures more than taking them. Dr. Thomas' interest in traveling complements his interest in cars and photography. He has traveled the world, and especially enjoys travel- ing to car races-always with his camera. Dr. Thomas proudly sits in his TR6, one of the many cars in his collection.

CTION' It's everywher- e-but where would the action be without people? A school is merely a brick and concrete structureg it needs personality: people. It needs people: administra- tors, teachers, secretaries, cus- todians, guidance counselors, cafeteria workers, sophomores, juniors, seniors. People make it happen. And Randallstown's people have personality. They're in- volved in a variety of commu- nity and school activities. Principal Richard Thomas has established a friendly rap- port with students. Mr. Snyderman not only teaches social studies, but also wanders the world, studying the lives and ways of people in other cultures. Ms. Duncan-Morretti spends her Monday nights Scottish country dancing. Sophomores Randy Stout and Caren Friedman play string instruments for school People and community orchestras. Junior Paul Latham and Laurie Blinchikoff run for RHS's track team and with the Baltimore Road Runner Club. Senior Steven Rossman wanted to find out more about his family's people. He's inter- ested in genealogyg he's tracing his roots. It's clear why Randallstown is a superior senior high school. Its people are constantly in action. People dividerfl 19
