Sam And Sally Sophomore On August 18,1974, the annual phenomenen of the sophomores recurred. With blank stares the typical Sam and Sally Sophomore wandered down the emmense halls of R.H.S. mumbling, S2? G4? HI ? Of course, there was always the handy junior or senior to help with directions, most often: Take the elevator up to fourth floor and turn right by the pool. Be careful of the polo ponies though, they're restless in the mornings! Despite all, Sam and Sally survived the first hectic days and went on to new and exciting high school big time adventures. Buying class rings provided a thrill to warm Sam and Sally's hearts, along with buying their first official yearbook (what's a supplement?). But despite these thrills, the most exciting moments had to come the night of the big football game. Anxious sophs impatiently cheered on Big Red, intently waiting for the big moment when they could rush off (or rather walk off) to meet the gang or crowd or mob at Bridegemen's where despite a few East-West rivalries, Sam and Sally managed to gain new friends every week. Regardless of the traumas of being a soph-O-more, Sam and Sally survived their first year at R.H.S. But remember when you know that It's gotta be a SOPH! everyone was once just as Sam and Sally were in 1974-75. UPPER LEFT: Sam wonders, Will it hurt coach ?

''Just You And Me In 1974 The 1974 Homecoming festivities opened amid the excitement of school spirit week under the direction of Mr. Ken Behl, Mr. James Carlson, Sue Ohnesorge, and Peter McKenna. Coronation activities were headed by co-chairmen Pat Anderson and Dawn Danner. On October 2, students, alumni, and friends gathered in the gym while C.L. Directions played. With Tom Niemackle acting as emcee, each of the candidates and their escorts made their way down the traditional red carpet. A note of nostalgia was added to the evening by Barb Langseth, the 1957 Homecoming Queen, who reminised about the fads of the fifties. The Four Musketeers brought back the old barbershop style of singing as they entertained the crowd. Further entertainment was provided by the Madrigal Singers and the Tapaires. The suspense mounted as the moment of decision grew nearer and when Kim Ashland was finally picked the crowd gave a burst of approval. After Candy Kurth relinquished her crown to her successor, Kim laughingly exlcaimed, I guess I'm going to have to grow some more hair to keep my crown from falling off. After the crowning the crowd retired to the lunchroom for the Queen's Reception. The following Saturday 200 couples arrived at the lunchroom for the Homecoming dance. Articles from past Homecoming issues of the Spotlite lined the foyer walls and pictures of couples decorated another hall to depict the theme of this year's dance, Just You and Me. As the band, Flow played, some couples gathered on the dance floor while others took time to sign in or look for their leaf on the big tree on one wall. Mr. John Diana and Mr. John Nelson were kept busy taking pictures of couples who wanted a lasting memory of the evening. As the dance drew to a close, it was certain that foremost, this night would long be remembered. UPPER LEFT: Couples dance to the music of Flow . MIDDLE LEFT: Shawna Brennen ? butlon up Don Wolpers.
