- MY WHEELS!? DO. you 1 imaleaitet [can have a ride? “I would probably kill myself,’’ said senior Simon Hall, when asked what he would do without his car. Hall said no car would mean he would miss golf, school, and basically life. Most of the 750 RHS drivers agree that they could not get along without a car. Similarly, they also believe that traffic from parents and fellow students sometimes becomes a problem. “The worst part is when you try to get out of here at 3:30 on Friday,” said senior Craig Raley. ‘“You have to watch out for cars com- ing from everywhere.” Others, like senior Bill Skorheim claim that they never have to hassle with traffic. “I get here after first period because | take physics at Pearce and I leave after fifth for athletics,” said Skorheim. Car pooling, another way to get to school, requires mutual agreements from both parties. “T don’t mind riding with my boyfriend,” said sophomore Jessica McCleod. “He picks me up exactly when I am ready and leaves school when I do.”’ Five yellow buses holding a maximum of 70 students each also transport students ' daily. “The best part of riding the bus is wat- ching the junior high kids getting on the bus and trying to be mean,” said senior Lemone Ards. “The only bad part is when it gets overcrowded.”’ Bike riding and walking are the most time-consuming options, but they are also the most economical ways to go to school.

7 Clibs raise-money. | through big sales” Does it ever end? Every year new and dif- ferent fundraisers appear. Keychains with football schedules or Oscar, RHS pennants and “Sit On Pearce”’ boxers joined the tradi- tional fundraisers to help organizations. © Meanwhile the usual bake sales, dances and candy sales raked in the money. All one had to do was walk down the hall and someone tried to sell them something. “Orchestra is selling candy to pay for our trip to Washington D.C.,”’ said violin player Gretta Shultz. Money made by the Spanish Club through the sale of RHS pennants went toward spon- soring a Guatamalan child, which the club has been sponsoring for 10 years. “We only expected to make $100 because we were going to sell them during Spirit Week, but we got them a week late,” said Spanish Club President Katie Symons. During Spirit Week, the Drama Club sold “Sit On Pearce” boxers for $7 each to sup- port their productions. “We made about $800 profit,” said senior Sherrill Phillips. “We had a car wash this summer,” added senior Jay Conder, an Eagle Guard member. The club brought in nearly $200, some of which went for minor repairs on the Eagle trailer. Whether selling computerized T-shirts as the Wrestling Team did or yearbooks and plastic covers, fundraisers were needed to support most RHS programs. — Sandi Allison 30 Student Life
