DRAG STRIP WEST-Harbor Dr. isn't exactly the best place to drag, but if you're going to live Fast Times, you HAVE to have a fast car. Night life in the South Bay took a lot of traveling, but gas was down to 51.25 a gallon in 1983. ONE WITH EVERYTHING-If there's nothing else to do, RUHS students eat. Pizza ranks as a cut above fast food hamburger chains. Maki Kimihara and Virginia Mancuso get the munchies. LOVE MY BUDS-Giving their all in the two-legged race are Noel Normandin, Dawn Patterson and Iohnna Jaramillo and Maggie Cakebread. Fun, fun, fun, is the goal of you want Fast Times. WHERE'RE THE GUYS?-Ready to mingle are Stephanie Arm- strong and Christina Wilkins. Dances brought out the best in people who liked to move and converse. fast times 7

Past Times at Redondo High Party? Who us, Party? What's a party? We're good, motivated students who strive for academic excellence! That's not totally believable. Why? Because when the weekend comes, Redondo students hurl the books into the corner of the bedroom and look for something exciting to do. That's not saying they don't strive for academic excellence, but at Redon- do, scenes of partying not unlike the seenes in the movie Fast Times at Ridgemont High are fairly common. So what do these wild, carousing, Redondo stu- dents do for excitement besides party? The answer- -anything that has one of the main ingredients, immediate satisfaction, an abundance of thrill or a source of merriment. That could be a number of things, namel an indoor activity enhanced in the movie, hint, hint, but we won't elaborate on that. One activity many students enjoy is dancing. The style of dancing changes from generation to genera- tion, even from month to month, and this year is no exception. Dancin isn't the only activity that grabs stu- dents b Sie heels. Movie-going is still, and prob- ably will always, be practiced, yet the drive-in the- ater isn't quite as popular as expected of teens. Concerts also strike an interest in Redondo teens. Some of the concerts students may have visited include the US Festival, a three-day long music jam featuring various music from new wave to country, the Who! Clash concert held one Friday which coin- cidentally a few students chose to attend instead of school, and Judas Priest. The more trite activities such as cruising, stum- bling through the pipe in Palos Verdes or visiting Vanderlips, a supposedly haunted house also in P.V. are still sou ht. There's no doubt RUHS students are attracted to excitement whether on the dance floor or at a foot- ball gamep yet they don't make it the number one priority like Ridgemont High. 6 fast times ll

Yolanda Duarte and Joyce Miller, seniors, get the signature of Bill Trimble, resident, in an attempt to keep RUHS open. SAVE OUR SCHOOL-Spirit was high at Aviation, as Falcons can- vassed the community to keep their school alive. Read to roll are Tina Brooks, Cesar Domingez, Elizebeth Grollman, Michelle Lamb and Stephanie Friedland. A NEW RESPONSIBILITY-The Sea Hawk which flies over the RUHS campus was now a symbol for students from ANOTHER high school. BIC DECISION TIME-Superintedent Hu h Cameron and board mem- ber Wallis Pereira faced criticism when at last Aviation was closed and new boundaries were drawn.
