Below: It does not take long (or students, like Kris Bell, to become overloaded with books and homework. Below: Sophomore Allen Ronnmg tries to find his way around by following the map on the Spartan folder. fk s Charles Schultz once said in his Peanuts cartoon. No one can f t deny the joys of a summer vacation with its days of warmth and free dom. But summer didn't seem long enough, and before long it was time to go back to school. With a little apprehension we walked through the doors of good old RHS, said hello to a new year, and goodbye to an old way of life. Declining enrollment caused a reorganization of the Richfield school system. Thus. RHS became a four year high school with the addition of the ninth grade. The confusion, frustration and excitement associated with the first day of school gradually faded away when school activities began. Upper left: Picture perfect was more than a cliche on picture day.

Rekindled Spirit Homecoming Homecoming Spirit Week presented a few surprises in 1982. The traditional dress codes were set. but who would have thought the Seniors would form an underground movement to change them? Sick of Western and Dress-up Days, many Seniors created Punk and Slob Days. Sports reigned during Homecoming when many came out to see our Spartans flush the Minnetonka Skippers. The highlights of the week were the crowning of Richfield’s Homecoming Queen 1982, Kim Baker, and the Friday afternoon pep-fest in the gym. Guy cheerleaders, better known as the Homecoming Honies, stepped their way into stardom by satirizing what they thought were typical cheerleaders. We also saw the Queen Candidates receive a surprise pie in the face from their escorts. Homecoming Week ended with the Satur day night Homecoming Dance when couples danced to the theme of Endless Love. The Spirit of RHS was exemplified by student and facility involvement in Homecoming events. Above: Sherii Murray and her handsome date discuss the exciting evening at the Homecoming Dane .
