RHS brings Christmas to many by way of Welfare Christmas Christmas spirit appeared as early as November for RHS'ers who worked with Welfare Christmas. With help from Edina and Army Reserve, RHS'ers collected, mended, and sent 20 truckloads of donated articles to deserving areas under the supervision of Mr. Barry Bain. The welfare project was taken on again for its second year not only to help the deprived, but to open the eyes and the hearts of RHS'ers to life and the meaning of Christmas. Students under the direction of Mrs. Suzanne Baird, expressed true spirit by comically illustrating commercialization and greed through skits in the Christmas assembly presented on December 18. Tradition was still observed throughout the school as carolers sang and Swing Band played its way down halls and into the lunchroom during second lunch. As RHS'ers left for vacations, the Christmas spirit left with them. A Christmas shoppers bring extra work for cashier Debbie Sears and her assistant.

 Musical system replaces bells offering a relaxed atmosphere As Christmas parties ended and school reopened, RHSers found themselves playing 'musical classrooms' by way of the new music system set up by the administration to replace bells. The new system relaxed study haliers as well as students passing in halls, sitting it out at the office or in classrooms where teachers had requested it. Another change facing students upon return from Christmas vacations was a cut in available parking spaces. This cut in parking gave the faculty 28 spaces leaving 106 spaces for a student body of approximately 2,800. Students' lives were not totally academic through the cold winter months. Loud clicking sounds could be heard from behind the closed doors of study hall as students prepared for the YUKON YO YO contest which was sponsored by the Spotlite. Skiers and snowmobilers seemed most pleased by the many light snowfalls which conveniently came on weekends most of the time. And as in years before, RHS ers proved—there's no business like SNOWBUSINESS. A Soft winter snows quietly cover cars while RHS'ers attend class. Energentic students find many uses for winter snow.
