Get It On One hundred years ago tight, whalebone corsets prevented fashionable young ladies from breathing. In 1979-80 Calvin Klein jeans served the same purpose at RHS. To match the jeans, girls selected their accessories carefully. Gold chain necklaces and bracelets, along with gold belts seemed to be the best items to wear. Leather clutch purses added a distinguished touch to most outfits, overalls included. Footwear varied from klunky wooden clogs to precariously high sandals. For girls preferring the dressy style, slit skirts, and velour dresses seemed to hold special attraction. To complement her wardrobe, the fashionable girl permed her hair by sticking her finger in a wall socket. The male species at Richfield tended to ignore fashion, as usual. Faded jeans, flannel shirts, sweaters, velour shirts, turtle necks, and football jerseys on Fridays made up their attire. They were shod in beaten-up Nikes or cowboy boots. On a special occasion, like the Homecoming Dance, they tolerated a three-piece suit and a noose-like tie.

That Special Place hang-out (hang’ out)n. A frequently visited place. Everyone knows that school is the ultimate hangout, but where does a person go once class is over? Around Richfield there are a number of frequently visited places, in and out of school. The main hall by the north wing is the favorite of the senior boys. Every morning they gather to rate the giggling, sophomore girls that parade by. Other school hangouts include the cold marble ledges, the computer room, the locker room, and other carefully selected spots in the halls. Around town the lakes are filled with hangees . Jogging, bicycling, swimming, tanning, and “submarine race watching are some of the activities around the lakes. After football games, walking - distance food emporiums are visited by sophomores. The more sophisticated juniors and seniors car-pooled to Mac and Don’s. 8 Hangouts
