Okay, so there were cut-backs, paper shortages, and teacher lay offs. But that never affected the quality of education, the continual strive for excellence; nor did it dim our spirit or our pride. Opening 3 Rightt Pat Dickey researches his next history theme in the media center. Below. The friendship between Lisa Hoffman and Maria Bernston brightens their day. I i hether in academics, sports, I M f or the arts, there was alls w ways something special. The late hours spent doing loads of homework never marred the feeling of doing well on a test-, they only made it better. Long, tiring practices never dulled the elation of winning or the thrill of performing; they only made it more special. Sometimes it seemed as if the work would never end, as if the only reason for our existence was work of one kind or another. But then a break would come, a night with no homework, a party with friends getting together for gossip or for talk about the future, and things wouldn’t seem so bad after all. 4 Opemng r Above, Greg Hoff lander; Hey. school is cool!'4 Right, Fred Boh tad starts his English theme an entire week before it’s due.

P ven small, seemingly ordinary occurences contri f . buted to making the year special: best friends dressing up as twins during Homecoming Week, people wearing red and white outfits on the day of the big game, seniors chanting at the pep fests, flaunting their position. Teachers decorated their rooms,• kids fixed up their lockers to look like a second home; and there were occasional bursts of color on the hall bulletin boards to brighten things up. Even the way the an nouncements started, every day, with three off key bangs on the xylophone was special, because it was ours. It was a RICH experience.

From Punk New Wave to Red and White, the students created an atmosphere of excitement and fun as they went through each day of Spirit Week. Punk New Wave Day started out the week as tom sweats, chains, leather jackets, and painted hair colored the halls. Tuesday brought Hawaiian Day with floral print shirts, shorts, grass skirts, and a beach party, complete with Beach Boys music, near the band wing. New styles in fashion combined with the traditional suits and dresses on Wednesday for Dress-Up Day. Jackets, vests, and ties were contrasted with shorts, sweats, baseball pants. and army fatigues to create looks that could have challenged the fashions of GO. Thursday had twins, triplets, and others. Doctors and surgical garb abounded. Many other interesting outfits were also found. Girls in football equipment, people with their clothes on backwards, and Knights of the Round Table all wandered the hallways. Friday. Red and White Day. ended the week with a flourish. Teachers and students all got into the act as the building contained one mass of red and white. People had everything on from red sweaters to painted faces and hair. Homecoming showed that the students don't just say they have spirit, they showed it.

As the football team prepared to Bag the Birds,” students were treated to a variety of cheers, including the welcoming of the freshmen to RHS. and the Tapaires version of Dancing in Heaven.” The highlight was the Queen's court's rendition of Flashdance. Wednesday. October 5. was the climax of the week with the crowning of the queen at coronation. Queen Karen Dunham was shocked at the announcement of her election. Saturday capped off the week with the Homecoming dance. The Mike Macken Band performed for XX) couples. The theme for the dance was Suddenly.” which was appropriate. for the special week of Homecoming left as suddenly as it came. Right: The queen and her court at Friday's football game during halftime.

Homecoming I3 did you become a social outcast if you didn't have a name on your jeans or an animal on your shirt. Richfield students combined everything from high heels to high tops, from black demin to black leather, from argyle vests to Budweiser t shirts. Although individual styles were more apparent, several major types were identified and classified as follows. The Prep: The female prep discovered slim knit ties, argyle everything, corduroy walking shorts, and tassled loafers. She combined these with her existing wardrobe of oxfords, izods, and wool sweaters for that conservative, businesslike. totally Prep look. The increasing numbers of male preps also discovered a new wardrobe staple-the pink oxford. Combined with elastic waist pants, deck shoes, and a sweater casually tied over the shoulder, the male prep was easy to identify. Below O.O. moilols Aaron Sullivan (II) Mike Vorst (I}) Tony Stroud (O) ami Matt Johnson (10) The Punker: Hair was his main trademark. Curly, dyed, short, long, spiked-you name itl The Punker took his frustrations out on his clothes by ripping them. After mutilation. these sweatshirts and t-shirts would be layered and worn over cropped pants. Shoes varied from spiked heels to vans. Punkers also discovered the narrow tie but in leather! Despite these stereotypes, most people dressed in their own style, or combine I several. Richfield's styles were Rich in individuality. Below left: Aloha, Liz Lauer! Leftr A swarm of Preppies. GQ 15 Disorientation BEGINNING OF SCHOOL Apprehensiveness characterized ninth graders on Orientation Day. For some, it was a major task to find their way to the high school auditorium. First, they sat through a lecture on tardiness and suspension delivered by Mr. Mass. Then, Chris Koch, a junior, tried to encourage the freshmen to get involved in student government. Fringe benefits included meeting new people and having teachers say, Oh. you're so special.” As they went through their class schedule, they were told the basic rules such as, Keep your hands and feet to yourself and all that stuff you learned in kindergarten.” One student found that when you're on third floor in North Wing and have to go to the first floor in South Wing, it’s very difficult to find your way there.” She asked a friend how to get to her room, but the friend only said. I don’t know. I'm new here, too. By the end of the day. the ninth graders could hardly wait to return to the security of their own homes. Ring sales and picture day were other important events which marked the beginning of school. A few seniors thought that by having their pictures taken with the underclassmen, they would be allowed to remain at least one more year at the high school. Top: Kevin Arnold. Eric Sorenson.

Beginning Of School 17 I8 Nev THE YEAR IN REVIEW 1983_________________________________________________________________1984 Ambush Slaying On Thursday, September 29, two Ruthton bankers were shot to death. Authorities described the incident as an ambush slaying. The two men were Deems Thulin and Rudy Blythe. The alleged slayer was James L. Jenkins, 46, who held a grudge against the bankers who had foreclosed on the farm four years earlier when Jenkins lived there. Jenkin's son, Steve, 18, was also involved in the incident. The Jenkins fled the scene in a pick-up truck, driving to Brownwood, TX. There on Sunday, October 2, James Jenkins shot himself to death. Steve Jenkins surrendered to the authorities and was charged with murder. Grant Resigns Bud Grant announced his resignation on January 27, 1984. Grant was the head coach of the Minnesota Vikings football team for 17 years. Grant, age 56, said he wanted more time for hunting, fishing, and other diversions. His record included 122 wins while he coached in the Canadian Football League and 161 wins as coach of the Vikings. His Vikings teams had a 151-87-5 record. Grant's successor was Les Stcckcl, formerly an assistant coach to the Vikings. Stcckcl is 36 years old. Zoo Conflict Over 800 phone calls to the Minnesota Zoo followed the Zoo’s announcement on March 7 that a three year old Siberian tiger would be killed next week. Since its genetic background had been preserved through breeding and since no other zoo or circus wanted the tiger, the decision was made to give the animal a lethal injection. Because of the public outrage, however, officials reconsidered and sent the tiger to an animal refuge in Tyler, TX. Nuclear Protest at Honeywell The corporate headquarters of Honeywell were the scene of peaceful anti-nuclear protests during 1983 and 1984. The most widely publisized protest occurred on Monday, October 9, 1983. At the height of the protest, demonstrators sat or lay on the pavement. Around 2 A.M. police became involved when protestors tried to prevent employees from entering the plant. Police arrested 557 people for trespassing during the ten-hour protest. Among those arrested were Minnesota poet Robert Bly and Erica Bouza, wife of Minneapolis Police Chief Anthony Bouza. “Bubble Boy”Dies On February 22. 1984, David, the 12 year old “bubble boy” from Houston. TX. died of heart failure. He had been confined to his plastic bubble since birth because of a combined immune deficiency syndrome, meaning that he had no immunity to even ordinary bacteria. After a bone marrow-transplant the previous October, he became ill, and doctors decided he would have to be removed from the bubble for adequate treatment. But the treatment didn't work, and he died two weeks later. Pilot Rescued On December 4, after being shot down over Syrian territory, Lt. Robert A. Goodman, Jr. was taken prisoner by the Syrians. After spending a month in a Syrian police compound, Goodman’s release was secured by Presidential hopeful Jesse Jack-son. Goodman came home to a hero’s welcome, while Jackson returned with renewed vigor to his campaign for the Presidency. It Was Cold! There were many memoriablc events ir. 1983 and 1984, the death of Yuri Andropov. the Olympic gold medals won by Bill Johnson and Scott Hamilton ... but perhaps the most memorable in the minds of Minnesotans was December 19, 1983. 0; that date the temperature dropped to twenty-nine degrees below zero and stayec there for just over one hundred hours Minnesotans were used to cold weather, negative numbers were nothing new, but December and January set records for coldness. Cars stalled, trapping families within them. On the weekend of Januan 4, 1984. record temperatures caused the deaths of twenty-one people, six of whom belonged to the Janzen family of Southwest Minneapolis. Luckily, there were many good things to look forward to in what remained of 1984, and one of them was spring. Mrs. Gopher Retires Retiring in 1983 after many years of service to Richfield High School was Mrs. Elaine Bruggeman. Mrs. Brug-geman, affectionately known as “Mrs. Gopher was the owner and photographer of Gopher Studios on 76th and Lyndale. She was the official yearbook photographer providing many senior pictures, portraits of Homecoming Queens and candidates, and Fire Ice Kings and candidates. She took the pictures at all the dances as well as the Homecoming and Fire lee coronations and talent shows. Upon retiring, Mrs. Bruggeman became an active member in the Richfield AFS chapter, and traveled to Scandinavia during the summer. Carrying on the tradition of Gopher Studios is Scot Hin-termeyer, now manager of Gopher Photography. In the years to come, perhaps he will become as much a part of the RHS tradition as Elaine Bruggeman. Under Beirut. Lebanon was the scene of anti-American violence this past year. A pro-Iranian group called Islanic Jihad claimed responsibility for many of the murders. The 3.000 member American community suffered many attacks despite tightened security. The attacks extended to the murder of Malcolm Kerr, a Princeton graduate and president of the American University. The most shocking episode occurred on October 23. when a truck filled with explosives drove into U.S. Marine headquarters. The suicide mission resulted in hundreds of deaths. French headquarters were also attacked. A major controversy erupted over whether or not to withdraw the Marines. Election year concerns and political pressure prompted Reagan to announce his decision to withdraw the American forces. Most of the forces were out by February 20; the remainder were removed by March 16. Reagan’s decision was also based on the great risk to the Marines. 265 Marines were already dead, with little hope in sight for a lasting peace. The multinational peace-keeping force, composed of American, Italian. British, and French units, had failed to reunite Lebanon and rid it of occupying armies of Syrians and Israelis. Marines were redeployed to ships two to three miles west of Beirut. where they continued strategy of long-distance retaliation. On February 17. scores of decomposed bodies were found in Kfar Malta, a village outside of Beirut. Western reporters were led to the vil-age by the Druse militiamen who captured the irea two days earlier. A CBS television crew eturned film showing men. women, and chil-Iren piled in houses and scattered in Helds near he village. The film showed at least a dozen :hildrcn to be among the more than one hun-Ircd victims of a killing spree by Christians in far Malta. Druse militiamen said the civilians uid been killed during the three weeks of fight-ng following the Israeli pull-out from the Thouf in September. A spokesman for the In-crnational Red Cross reported that his work-:rs saw many more dead in the Christian and )rusc mountain villages. He didn’t know vhether they were killed by shelling or cross- Eight Against One The 1984 presidential campaign was one of the most crowded ever. Those challenging Reagan included Jimmy Carter’s former Vice President. Walter Mondalc, former astronaut and Senator John Glenn, and the Rev. Jesse Jack-son. Potential underdogs were Senator Ernest Hollings (SC). Senator Alan Cranston (CA), Senator George McGovern (SD). Senator Gary Hart (CO), and former Florida governor Rcubin Askew. The party’s ideals ranged from McGovern's typically liberal stance, calling for a nuclear freeze, huge defense cuts, and increases in social programs, to Jesse Jackson's pro-minority views, to Gary Hart’s appeal to the New Generation. Reagan's policy line included greater increases in the defense and NASA budgets, and emphasized his Reaganomics success in bringing down inflation and unemployment rates. Democrats often brought up Reagan’s failure to balance the budget, instead creating the largest deficit ever. Fire fire, but he knew they were dead.” Red Cross workers have also seen bodies in Bmariam. a Christian village where Christian militiamen maintain there had been a massacre by the Druse. • •••♦ Korean Air Lines flight 007 left New York city for Seoul, South Korea just after midnight on August 31. at 8:31 E. D. T. Aboard the ill-fated flight were 240 passengers and 29 crew1 members. The passengers included 81 South Koreans. 61 U.S. citizens and 28 Japanese. Early on September I the plane entered Soviet airspace. A Russian fighter honed in on the plane, followed it for a short while, and shot it down. The plane crashed into the Sea of Japan, killing all aboard. The Russians claimed the plane was on a spy mission and didn't respond to radioed questions and warnings. Koreans claimed that the plane had miscalculated navigational directions and was lost. Reagan led world-wide dcnounciations of Russia's brutal actions. A multi-national search force looked through the debris for the flight’s black box. Although many bodies and much debris was recovered, the black box was never found. On Sunday, October 23, Reagan made the decision to send troops to the aid of the tiny island nation of Granada. The Organization of Eastern Caribbean State (OESC) had asked for outside help to combat Russian and Cuban forces on the island. The invasion was set for the early morning of October 25. The invasion forces were made up of 1220 U.S. Marines, 700 U.S. Army Rangers and 300 fighters from Barbados. Jamaica. Antigua, St. Vincent. St. Lucia and Dominica. Reagan stated. “We have discovered a complete base with weapons and communications equipment which makes it clear a Cuban occupation had been planned. Also discovered was an airstrip being built to fighter plane specifications. Over 600 Cubans were taken prisoner, and later returned to their homeland. Approximately 1000 Americans were evacuated from the island. About 800 of them were faculty and students at St. George’s School of Medicine, the remaining 200 were mainly retirees. New Relationships The United States sent ambassadors to establish full diplomatic ties with the Vatican for the first time in one hundred and seventeen years. William Wilson, a California businessman, was chosen to represent the U. S. The move demonstrated America’s acknowledgement of the worldwide influence of the Pope. Suspect Caught Linda Shocbottom ... missing Thanksgiving Day ... After 12 weeks of searching. her husband. Richard, led police to the body. Richard Shocbottom had been suspected of the murder since January. Linda had been having an affair, and he became suspicious when she did not come home one night. He borrowed a pistol and, evidently, fired it twice before returning it. The police arrested and charged Richard after the body was found in Afdcn Hills with two bullet holes in the head. Andropov Finally Conquers Cold August 18, 1983, was the last day Russian Premier Yuri Andropov was seen in public. Rumors suggested that Andropov had everything from a heart transplant to kidney problems to the official explanation, a cold. Andropov still seemed to dominate Soviet government and even strengthen the political position of his supporters. On Dec. 28, a newscast showed voters nominating Andropov as a candidate for re-election to the Supreme Soviet. Statements were also periodically issued in Adropov’s name. During this time, U. S. relations with Russia sank to deep freeze, partially enhanced by deployment of U. S. missies in Western Europe. Fifteen months after Brchznev’s death, nine months after Andropov took office, Yuri Andropov died of kidney failure, complicated by diabetes. His career had helped the Soviet Union by cracking down on corruption, and introducing some badly needed economic reforms. His most drastic change was his shake-up of top party and government posts, which he filled with his own loyal supporters. After his death, Konstantin Chernenko took over as the New Soviet leader. Although his policies did not differ greatly from Andropov’s, he did give a more optimistic picture of the future by saying that he saw hope for a “real drastic change in Sovict-Amcrican relations and in the international system as a whole.” Bell Break-Up The laws designed to break up monopolies were put into effect in early 1984 when American Telephone and Telegraph was broken into smaller components. The Bell system is now seven smaller, warring subsidiaries. The telephone industry, a 44-billion a year business, is being fought over by the little bells and various other telephone companies, including MCI, Sprint, Allnct. and ITT. Strangely enough, laws designed to prevent monopolies and higher prices actually created some price increases. Many peoples’ phone bills now include rent charges on their phones. Others simply bought their own phones and avoided the extra charge. However, because of intense competition for customers, 86 million long-distance consumers reaped the benefits of lower rates and special services designed to attract customers.

During 1983, Jackson’s “Thriller was the number one album for 42 weeks. Seven singles from the album made Billboard’s top 10. Jackson also dominated the Grammy Award Show, winning 8 of 10 categories. Jackson’s broke the old record of six awards in a single year. While accepting his third grammy, Jackson took off his glasses for his good friend Katharine Hepburn. Jackson said, She said I’d look better without them. Jackson received a lot of exposure because of his innovative videos shown on MTV. His Thriller video was the longest and most elaborate video yet, lasting 15 minutes and costing over five million dollars to produce. Jackson was in the headlines for things other than his musical accomplishments. In mid-February, he spent a week in the hospital because his hair caught fire, during the filming of a Pepsi commercial. This year. Richfield High School was proud to announce that four of it's senior students, Sue Everson, Mark Henderson. Charles Kilbride and Karen Lundquist, were National Merit Scholars. These four represent the top one-half percent of two and a half million students who took the PSAT test as juniors. Richfield High School was recognized as being one of the top 8 schools in the state and was under further consideration for national recognition. The award identified schools which did an excellent job in serving their students and also served as a model for other schools. German teacher and Coach Rudi Martig-nacco received the Minnesota State High School Coaches award for 25 years of outstanding contributions to the athletic programs. The National Interscholastic Administrators Association honored Mr. Robert Collison for distinguished service,” at the National Conference of High School Directors of Athletics in Orlando, Florida on December 12, 1983. Mr. Collison has been a part of the Richfield School system for fourteen years. After sixteen years as a slalom ski coach. Roger Tadsen was elected to the Minnesota State High School Ski Coaches Hall of Fame. This award is given for outstanding contributions to competitive skiing, ai d Mr. Tadsen is one of only six men to c honored. Mr. Dean Lapham was nominated for the American Psychology Association's awad for outstanding psychology teachers for his teaching at South Dakota State University at Brookings. Football Coach Dick Walker achieved his one hundredth win on Friday, September 16, 1983, against Kennedy High School. A Big Loss Super Bowl XVIII was played on January 22 in Florida's Tampa Bay Stadium. Tickets sold at an all time high of S60. Some were even scalped for as high as $8,000 apiece. The game was dominated by the Los Angeles Raiders, giving the Washington Redskins the dubious pleasure of losing the Superbowl by the widest point spread ever, 29 points. The score was 38 to 9. Quotable Quotes “This substance is a whole lot less harmful than rum punch, whiskey, nicotine, or glue, all of which arc legal.” 'Paul McCartney’s comment on marijuana prior to his wife's arrest for possession of the drug. “We seek genuine cooperation. We seek progress for peace.” Reagan on arm’s limitations talks with the U.S.S.R. “It takes two to thaw.” Secretary of State George Schultz on U.S.-Russia relations. “1 think it’s just President Reagan’s policy to not even acknowledge my ex-istance, which doesn't particularly cause me to lose sleep.” Jimmy Carter “I’m fine, and if they don't let me out of here soon, I’m going to call Jesse Jackson!” Senator Edward Kennedy while spending three nights in a hospital. Sarajevo Surprises Sarajevo, Yugoslavia was the scene of the 1984 Winter Olympics. The Yugoslavians went all out to welcome the teams and the tourists the games bring. About 26.5 million dollars was spent on hotels, roads, and the Olympic Village. The Yugoslavian economy was expected to be injected with over 97 million dollars generated by the Olympic games. Security was very tight this year because of increased world-wide terrorist bombings. The weather posed more of a threat to the competition than bombs, however. Events were sometimes postponed for up to 5 days, because of snowstorms that blocked ski and luge runs, and caused limited visibility. The U.S. Olympic team was sent off with the nation’s blessings and hopes. The U.S. Hockey team’s dreams of a repeat performance of the last Olympic upset were dashed in the first few games. The U.S. team beat Austria, tied the Finns and the Norwegians, but lost to the Czechs and the Canadians. Americans also had high hopes for the ski team, one of the best ever sent to the games. These hopes were soon realized as the U.S. made a near sweep of the women’s giant slalom. Debbie Armstrong won the gold, Christine Cooper received the silver medal, and Tamara McKinley finished fourth, fractions of a second behind Pcrrinc Pclcn of France. Bill Johnson and the Mahre brothers, Phil and Steve, all received medals in men’s Alpine skiing. Bill Johnson had excellent time trials, which led to a gold medal. Johnson later commented, “1 like the Swiss, but the Austrians think they should win all the time. That’s not true. I want it more than anybody. I enjoy sticking it to the Austrians. Johnson emerged as one of the most colorful participants in the 1984 Olympics. The U.S. team also had good showings in figure skating competitions. As expected. Scott Hamilton won the gold medal in men's figure skating. Despite an ear infection which may have affected his balance, he performed well enough to top Canadian Brian Orser, the silver medalist. Hamilton was the first U.S. man to win the gold since David Jenkins in 1960. Kitty and Peter Caruthcrs won a silver medal in the pairs figure skating. The brother-sister team was ecstatic with their win. Rosalynn Sumners placed second in women’s figure skating. Possibly the greatest example of athletic excellence at the Sarajevo games came from Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean. The British pair completely dominated the ice dancing competition, including a long program which received 12 perfect scores. N«w 2I RICH IN OPINIONS A world without variety-can you imagine it? An entire school of kids dressed in faded Lee jeans and Journey T-shirts, who watch M A‘S H and Leave It To Beaver every chance they get. go out for pizza or to Chi Chi’s whenever hungry, love psychology, and who all plan to go to college. Looking around the halls, sometimes it seems as if this is what we have. But in looking a little deeper, the school turns out to be filled with a lot of individuals with a wide range of opinions on almost every subject. The Aurean staff conducted a poll of the senior class to try to find out these opinions. There were the expected amount of cute” answers, such as having Chris Goebel down as favorite actor, or Chuck Glover as favorite singer, teacher, and actor. But there were also answers that expressed honest opinions, including many strong feelings about U. S. involvement in world affairs. These pages will reflect the varied opinions of the class of 1984 and will bring back many memories in future years. 22 ODtnion ,™V Opiniont 33 Fifties Style SADIE On Dec. 23, 1983, Richfield girls had the chance to dominate their male counterparts. This opportunity came in the guise of the annual Sadie Hawkins Day Dance. Just like Sadie of Dogpatch fame, girls took the initiative and chased the guys to get dates for the dance. However, the dance was not the traditional overalls and square-dancing jamboree. Instead, it was a sock-hop. Music included the Beach Boys and Elvis Presley. The decorations also reflected the theme with fifties records on the walls, couples’ names on juke-boxes, sodas, records, and saddle shoes. Mom and Dad’s old letter sweaters and poodle skirts were out of the closet and on the dance floor. Other common apparel included black leather jackets, bobby socks, and lots of hair greasel The sock-hop was a success, incorporating a new twist on the Sadi Hawkins dance.

Students competed in ping-pong, horse, and short-distance putting. For seniors, there was the traditional broom-ball tournament, organized and refereed by Eddie Edburg. King of Intramural Competition. These brave souls found new ways to enjoy sub-Arctic temperatures. They shot little balls across the ice. wacked everything in sight with brooms, and struggled to remain vertical. The winning team, the Ninjas, then went on to compete with the faculty team. The fun continued with a Variety Show on Thursday. February 2. The show was performed as a matinee for students and again in the evening for parents. The acts were mainly musical, and quite varied! Several rock bands, piano players, vocal ensembles, and assorted school groups were among the 20 acts. Also included were Paul Wright’s rendition of a used car commercial, three break dancers. Nudge.

Todd Waller’s coronation took place at the Richfield Ice Arena, after the championship broom-ball games. Although the students did their best to cheer on the Ninjas, the faculty team beat them. 2-0. The crowd then returned to the high school for a reception in honor of Todd, his escort Dede Harvey, and the Fire and Ice Court. Fire and Ice Week was rounded off by a pep fest and semi-formal dance, both held on February 3. The pep fest included performances by the dance lines, band, and the introduction of the 1984 court. The dance featured music provided electronically by Pop Muzik. The school was filled with balloons, for-mals. top hats and tails. One of the more unexpected features of the dance occurred when the chair used for couples pictures broke downl Other than that rather minor mishap, the dance went smoothly, with no one spilling punch or crushing his date’s feet when dancing.

Mr. Haa-heim returned from sabbatical leave to start teaching again. A new course called Intermediate Algebra was added for those who wanted a refresher before going on to the advanced class. And the class of 1984 was the first to be affected by the basic math requirement, which meant that all students had to show a fundamental knowledge of basic math skills. With the large number of students in the high school and the increasing awareness of the importance of computers, the computer programming classes were overcrowded this year. A large percentage of students took Programming I. though numbers decreased in Programming III. Teachers hoped that students would be able to write their own programs and modify canned ones for their own use. gaining a useful skill with which to enter the job market.

However, she was optimistic about the changes, saying that students reactions to course differences had been good. Commercial Art. was dropped, but a new class called Visual Expression was added. This class concentrated on drawing and painting of a different subject each trimester and required no prerequisite. These classes were very popular with students and filled up early. Also planned for the year were field trips to the Walker Art Center for viewing work done by professionals. Miss Mayer's hopes for the year and for the future were that more people would take the time to participate in an art class, learning more about art and about themselves, and realizing their potential.

Richfield also had a wide variety of programs to meet these needs or to stimulate interests, and abilities. One of these programs. ESL. was designed to meet the needs of non-English speaking students. ESL stands for English as a Second Language. ESL was begun to help students cope with homework in a language foreign to them. The Turtoring Program was also designed to help meet students' learning needs. Student volunteers participated in these programs by reading or tutoring others. Upper Right.

Often sleep was lost during an all night session to finish a paper the night before it was due. Because English was a required class, there was usually a wide range of types in class. There was the Huck Finn type, always skipping schooh the F. Scott Fitzgerald type, who dreamed away during lectures and the Romeo and Juliet types who held hands across the aisle and were heartbroken when they had to separate for the next class.

They also studied motion, energy, atomic physics. and magnetism. Topics such as chemical reactions, the kinetic theory, solubility and ions, equilibrium, and the number of bicycycles in a mole puzzled chemistry students during their junior or senior year. In Biology, a required class for sophomores, students studied the cell, plant and animal reproduction, genetics and ecology. In ninth grade, students spent the year studying earth and life sciences. Problems ranged from determining the distance between the earth and the moon to finding the percentage of tongue-rollers” in the class of breeding fruit flies.

Broadening Horizons FOREIGN LANGUAGE Ua dijo un sapi to. Ua dijo un sapito pare mi .... chanted a third-year Spanish class. Learning songs was only one of the methods whereby foreign language students familiarized themselves with the culture of another country. Other methods included visiting foreign countries, cooking and tasting international foods, playing games, going to French and Spanish markets, and many other exciting experiences. Students who took a foreign language enjoyed it for a variety of reasons. One freshman student said. You learn how hard it is to speak a foreign language. yet it’s fun because you meet new people. Teresa Thom, a senior, stated. It's a good break from math and science. It's fun because you're learning about different people. You're broadening your horizons and your view on life. You become more open-minded and more accepting of other people.” Ann Madden realized the importance of foreign language in respect to International Communication. She concluded.

To begin with, ninth graders listened to lecture after lecture on American government amplified by Miss Grady’s microphone. Tenth graders successfully created a nation of SOstates with a little help from Thomas Jefferson and others. Mr. Juengling stressed important facts by pulling on his suspenders. Most juniors fought hard through World War I and II while a few dug through their archeology books. If a student happened to get an A” on one of Mr. Kotsonas' tests, the words Neat Greek appeared on the paper. Students will always remember how Queen Elizabeth won by a head” over Queen Mary of Scotland. Seniors went to the mini-theater at least once a week where the conscientious ones watched films of people being or trying to get elected. Another aspect of social studies was psychology. Some students put their knowledge of human behavior to use by spending half the trimester working at Portland (a secondary school for the mentally handicapped). Students worked with the handicapped on everything from arts and crafts to reading and math to grooming skills. Dealing with the handicapped was scary at first, but after a few weeks, students gained self confidence and a better understanding of and appreciation for the mentally handicapped. Many students stated that the best thing that had ever happened to them was working at Portland. They learned to view the handicapped as real people who had experienced many of the same feelings as they did. Several lasting friendships were established between psychology students and the mentally handicapped children. Topi Sophomores loom how to protect themselves against outlaws In the American west.

HOME ECONOMICS Small Children could be heard squealing with delight as they took control” of one of the Home Economics Rooms for a few weeks during spring trimester. These children were participating in a pre-school activity run by students taking Child in the Family. The activity helped enrich and reinforce classroom learning as the students worked with the children. The Home Economics Department offered a wide variety of courses applicable to males as well as females. You the Consumer was a practical course for students who planned to move out on their own. Decision making in related areas was stressed. Modern Living dealt with chemical dependency, marriage problems. financial planning, and death. Several foods courses were available to students. International Foods provided students with an opportunity to learn some of the international customs and how to prepare and serve foods characteristic of foreign countries. In order to raise money for the foods department, students sold cookbooks. The money was used toward new kitchen appliances. Holly Erickson said she liked foods because you get to cook and eat a lot”. In clothing classes, some students struggled to make blazers while others, looking ahead to the usual Minnesota winter, learned to make recreational equipment such as down jackets, mittens, and sleeping bags. Vicky Vizecky summed up the program when she said. These classes help prepare you for the future. Top: Tracy Young. Anne Sloan and Anne Kalina prouldy display their popovers.

An advanced course called Micros In Business was introduced . These computers were used with software programs that did special things such as word processing, record sorting, and advanced accounting. The class was given an opportunity to learn Visi Calc (electronic worksheets) and business graphics to enrich their learning experiences. Students gained valuable hands-on experience from this course. The Business Education Department also offered courses in Accounting and Recordkeeping. Basic Business. Mod- ern Office Procedures. Shorthand, and Typewriting. These subjects were designed to provide students with skills for personal and vocational use and to provide basic information about the business world and economic system of today. Interestingly enough, a majority of the students who took courses in Business Education were enrolled in at least two classes. Some students were enrolled in three or more classes. The students spent a great deal of time in this department becoming specialized in the business field and developing lasting relationships with the teachers as well.

Rose paused at the typewriter and sighed as she reached to answer the phone ... Rose Ahonen. a secretary in the high school office, was given the job through a recommendation by Ms. Ruth Dittes because of her ability to type efficiently, to continue her work after many interruptions, and to communicate with others. Her work involved stuffing mailboxes, running errands. typing letters, memos, requisitions and bulletins, answering phones. and assisting people who came into tbe office. Although she kept busy throughout the year. Rose enjoyed her work. She said The people in the office are very helpful, friendly and fun to work with, have met many new people, and I have learned how to deal with different of fice situations. The responsibility Rose was given in the office helped prepare her for future career as a secretary. It gave her some background about how an office was run and what kinds of things to expect. 46 Bu inc� $ Education Dickey-D” CHOIR Btlcw left Karen Habegger and Ann Wright practice for Homecoming try outs.

Early in April, the choir performed the Vivaldi Gloria at the Lake Conference Vocal Festival in St. Louis Park. The state vocal and ensemble contest was held in late April at Minnetonka High School. Throughout the year, various students were selected to sing solos and duets. These individuals received strong support and encouragement from other choir members.

A major year is. of course, one in which the band takes a long trip, like last years trip to Chicago. This year's band was one of the largest. There was over two-hundred members, many of whom are taking private lessons. From this group were drawn two jazz ensembles, three concert bands, marching band, and pep bands.

Almost all of these students will reach goals they have set for themselves, and it is fun to see them succeed, come back and visit, letting us know we were a guiding force in their lives.

The best part of my job is being able to get inside classrooms and seeing good teachers working effectively with our kids who, incidentally, are remarkably well behaved and willing to learn. I come in contact with nearly every student at some time in his three or four years at R.H.S. The best part of my job is getting to know the students and working with them.

The teacher. Miss Buss was at her desk grading papers. Suddenly the door opened and a group of junior and senior students filed in carrying papers and boxes under their arms. We have a singing valentine for Miss Audrey Buss from Clark Gable! they announced, and burst into songt ... Valentine, (please be mine) Valentine, (only mine) ... to the tune of 'Mickey Mouse. Finished, they handed Miss Buss a red sucker and quickly made their exit as the class of sophomores looked on with laughter ... An annual occurance every Valentine's day at Richfield High School was selling and delivering of Singing Valentine’s by the National Honor Society. This year was no exception. President Kevin Peterson. Vice-President Lisa Hoffman. Secretary Doug Roberts, and Treasurer Yvonne Johnson, led the group of juniors and seniors in the singing. This year ninety-seven seniors, forty-four of whom were elected in their junior year, and twenty-eight juniors comprised the Richfield High School Chapter of the National Honor Society. They were elected on the basis of scholarship, leadership, service and character. The total elected represented 15-18% of the Senior class and 6% of the Junior class.

I sincerely regret to inform you lhai Ihe enure Aurean staff has been committed to St. Peter’s Home for the Mentally Unstable and Criminally Insane. It has been suspected for months that the editors were on the verge of a breakdown. Eyewitnesses reported seeing Dan and Steve lurking suspiciously in the halls, jumping out from behind doors, yelling, watch the birdicl even when they didn't have their cameras. Chris, an amnesia victim, aimlessly wandered the halls, forgetting about deadlines and taking out all frustrations on his teddy bear. Karen mistook the typewriter for a piano and started playing Hello Dolly while typing her industrial arts copy. Janice, usually the quiet one. suddenly went crazy and tried to burn down the Aurean room with Miss Larson's lighter and a can of Mr. Lunde's lighter fluid. A combination of senioritis and two thousand names of the index caused Kristi to attack the rainbow on the wall, after which she had to be confined in a straight jacket. Sue cracked under the strain of being Editor- in-Chief. yelling at everyone in a pronounced New England accent while wearing bandannas, her father's turtlenecks, her hair up in a bun. and continually shaking her head, thinking she was Katharine Hepburn. And advisor Joan Larson was seen staring at pictures of Paul Newman for hours, hoping he would magically appear in the doorway to take her away with him to Paris. I am truly sorry that such disturbing circumstances happened in your school. The parents of the committed children wished me to convey their regrets about Miss Larson. The kids tried their hardest to get her out of the trunk, but they couldn't find the key and drilled air holes too late to do any good. Please do not worry about your former students) they will be watched very carefully. I do hope that you will be able to find a normal, sane group of people to produce next year's book. Sincerely.

A Creative Group SPOTUTE Producing the Spotlitc is not a job for just anyone. It takes a group of students who can effectively combine their different attitudes and personalities into an interesting and informative newspaper. This year, ten very different students contributed their unique sense of creativity to the Spotlight. They met each day during seventh mod. when the nine editors checked beats, brainstormed, interviewed, wrote stories, rewrote stories, edited, checked galley proofs, did paste-ups. folded, and finally distributed the final product. The tenth staff member was Hugh Killam. who. despite being the only junior, was responsible for the fund raisers, distribution. copy exchange, and advertisements as the Business Manager. Under the guidance of Mr. Dennis Kroger, the advisor and Kim MacDonald, the Editor-in-Chief. the staff worked very hard to produce an effective newspaper. Above The I9S3-I9S4 Spotlitc stall.

Chances were that it was just a member of the speech team being coached, not a history teacher demonstrating primitive forms of torture. This year’s team consisted of about 40 official members, with about X) participating in any given meet. The three coaches were Jan Jenson. Jay Brown, and Mr. Oiseth. a twelfth-grade English teacher. This awesome threesome coached such categories as creative expression. humor, prose and poetry, original oratory and dramatic. Speech participants varied as much as the categories, from outgoing hams to melodramatic actors. The team participated in seven meets, regionals. and the State Tournament.

Debbie Klopp. handed her title over to Teresa Thom, a senior at Richfield Senior High, Michelle Hammond was named first runner-up. Both Debbie and Teresa participated in parades at the Aquatennial. the Hopkins Raspberry Festival, and the St. Paul Winter Carnival. Teresa also participated in the Jerry Lewis telethon and appeared on Bowlerama. Miss Richfield candidates were sponsored by various local businesses and clubs, like the Dairy Queen, the Optimists, and Teresa’s sponsor, the Jaycee women. These groups chose a local girl to support by donating time or money. The contestants were judged by two professional judges, who conducted a personal interview with the contestants. The girls also wrote essays on how women’s roles have changed and will change. The contestants were required to sell 300or more buttons commemorating Richfield’s 75th anniversary. Along with her title. Teresa was also awarded a $300 scholarship, while Michelle received a 5X0 award. Left; Michelle Hammond and Teresa Thom demonstrate their official parade smiles. Dancing TAPETTES The Tapettes were a X member danceline which performed for athletics, the two pep fests. and the talent show. The group modeled themselves after the Tapaires. with similar costumes, music, and routines. The Tapettes could be likened to hockey’s farm league. Most of the Tapettes planned to try out for the Tapaires next year. They practiced at least once a week, for two to three hours, learning and creating their own routines. int Row Abovei A. Frank. J.

That was only part of the fun of being involved in the marketing and distributing educational program called DECA (Distributive Education Clubs of America). The 36 members participate ed in many facets of community involvement. including an anti-shoplifting campaign, a free-enterprize campaign. and a fall leadership training conference in which the students competed at the district, state and national levels. DECA students were placed on jobs relating to their career interests. At 13:00 each school day. students left for their jobs where they received supervised training and worked an average of 30 hours each week. Students were paid minimum wage and. in addition, received three elective credits per tri- mester. DECA students were eligible to participate in a scholarship program which provided an opportunity to finance post-secondary training. Students gained valuable skills from the program. They learned to work together as a team, gained a sense of achievement through participation in various activities, developed important leadership qualities and learned the key to success in the business world: how to sell themselves. Laurie Bassett expressed her feelings about DECA when she said. DECA helps you understand the marketing system better. It's hard work, and you have to dedicate a lot of time, but it’s fun because you meet a lot of people from different areas and states.” Top Tern Harden sett up decorations tor the senior citizen Thanksgiving meal.

SILKS This year several new members joined the silks. Also new this year were corduroy skirts and new flags. As a member of the silks, one could typically expect an extra 16 hours of practice a week. The silks practiced until 4:30 every day of a week when a performance was scheduled. On Friday nights, they didn’t leave school until after the game. The silks performed for football and basketball games, talent shows, band concerts and parades. This year’s captain was Sara Birch, and co-captain was Orit Reuben. Above, Grit Reuben.

The danceline included sophomores this year, which helped expand the award-winning line of 24 girls. Besides adding excitement and glamour to the football, hockey, and basketball halftime shows, they also participated in competitions. The long hard practices paid off when the girls earned a third place trophy during competition at the University of Minnesota. With this award they were given the honor of performing their routine at a Gopher basketball halftime show.

The Ninth Grade Stage Band consisted of about fifteen ninth graders. Mr. Lundahl directed the ensemble every day after school. Their repertoire included many Big Band favorites like Woodchoppers Ball and In the Mood.” They played for all the band concerts besides several appearances outside of school. The Varsity Jazz Ensemble was under the direction of Larry Solheim, a graduate of Richfield High School. This dedicated group had three 6:30 A.M. practices a week, Monday. Wednesday. and Thursday. To keep them awake in the mornings. Larry chose such songs as I Want a Little Girl.” Don't Get Around Much Anymore.” and That Old Black Magic.” The Jazz Ensemble also planned a trip this year, in addition to its rigorous early morning schedule. They performed everywhere from Portland to Shakey’s to Richfield’s talent shows. Right Karen lundquist tickles the ivories.

In Harmony_________________________________________________ CHORAL GROUPS______________________________________________ There were two choral ensembles last year: the Chamber Singers and the Seventieth Street Singers. Thanks to Mrs. Westby, Chamber Singers was reorganized after a rest since the 1978-79 school year. Chamber Singers was a group organized to sing classical music in an intimate setting. The group was composed of sixteen members, all selected by audition. Chamber Singers gathered twice a week to practice, performed several concerts, and competed at the State Vocal Contest. The students enjoyed working together and established deeper friendships as the year progressed. Seventieth Street Singers were also selected by audition. They demonstrated that they were able to sing and dance at the same time. This talented group stole the hearts of various organizations and clubs they performed for. Its devotion was demonstrated by showing up at 6:30 A.M. for special rehearsals. Left Amy Evans shows her pearly whiles to Bob Davis and Darrin Rand. Below.

Auditions were held the last of January. The cast, along with the production crew, met to listen to another of Mr. Marcell’s famous speeches and saw some of the costumes. The real work began. Line rehearsals, vocal rehearsals, dance rehearsals. Dinner, homework, and sleep were put off in order to memorize lines and perfect songs. A balroom. a garden, and a dorm started to appear on stage, with a few bruised knees and pounded fingers to help them along. The orchestra practiced so often that it sometimes seemed to be the only music in the world. Posters were printed and postedi seams after seam was sewn. Not everyone at that first production meeting knew the time involved in a musical, or the rewards received. But they were all willing to give the next three months of the lives to making Where's Charley something to remember. At the production meeting, the director spoke again.

Now with ancient valour rising, let us hail you. oh Liberty I LESLIE BJERKE LARISSA, GREECE My experience as an AFS student in Greece was wonderful. It taught me a lot about myself and other people. It showed me that life outside North America can be extremely different. I had to learn all over again how to eat. dress, and get used to different ways of doing things. To be honest. I was a little apprehensive about being there at first. After a few weeks though. I began to fit in a little and get used to things like their heavy, greasy food. My family was wonderful to me. They took me many places like Thes-soniki. the island Thasos. and the famous monastaries. I was also able to visit the Acropolis and the main museum in Athens. KRISTI KLINE-YOGYAKARTA, INDONESIA ”Indonesia. tanah airku. tanah rumpah darahku. Dis-analah aku berdidi jadi pandu ibuku. Indonesia ke-bangssanku. bangsa dan tanah airku. Marilah kita berseru Indonesia bersaru. Hiduplah tanahku. hiduplah negriku. Bangsaku rakyatku semuanya. Bangunlah jiwanya. bangunlah badan-nya. Untuk Indonesia Raya It was fantastic! Before I left, Indonesia was just a place on the map. I had heard the name in history class and seen the movie South Pacific on television, but suddenly I was there. At first, it was hard to eat rice three times a day and to hear a strange language spoken. Sometimes I would forget to take off my shoes when I entered the house (a Muslim custom), or I would try to say something in Indonesian and it would come out meaning something I hadn't intended. However, the people were kind and understanding. and each day my life there got a little easier. In just three months I changed so much ... I grew up. I learned things about myself I don’t think I would have known if I had stayed at home. I saw the United States from the outside, as other countries see it. instead of from the inside as we see it. I don’t take the good things that I have here so much for granted anymore. Most importantly. I learned to love another country and another people ... I cried when I had to leave them. My AFS experience isn't over yet. I'm still learning from it every day. It’s made such a difference in my life. I’m glad I had the opportunity” MARKUS SOEDER-WEST GERMANY While Markus Soeder was living at home in West Germany with his parents and two sisters, he received letters from a couple of his friends. These friends had written Markus to tell him what a great experience they were having in the U. S. A. After reading their letters. Markus became interested and applied to the program (Amicus International Student Exchange). He was accepted. However, the organization could not find a family for him in California and. in the end. he was sent to Minnesota. Markus expressed his feelings about his time in Minnesota when he said. It was kind of hard at first because I did not know anybody and everything was new, but now I think I could stay here for good. The school system in the U. S. is much more liberal than in Germany, but it sure has its advantages.” As an afterthought Markus added. I also like those American parties. 95 AFS AISE A Bridge to Understanding SYLVIA REYES-COSTA RICA As she spent her last evening in Costa Rica with her friends, doubtful thoughts crossed Sylvia’s mind. Did she really want to leave her friends for whole year and stay with a strange family in a strange country which she knew very little about? She thought of her sister, several months pregnant, and realized with dismay that the baby would be at least eight months old by the time she returned home the following August. In America. Sylvia found that the new family was very patient as they helped her learn English. The first day of school was scary for Sylvia because she knew none of the students at RHS, but within a few weeks she had made many friends. For Sylvia. Spanish class was the highlight of each day. She felt at home” in this class because she could understand her classmates, and they could understand her. Reflecting on her year in Minnesota. Sylvia decided that the best thing about coming to the U. S. A. is the people, principally my family and friends, because they’re so special to me. I think it is so important to meet people of all kinds, visit other countries, and learn some of their customes. Riding horses and snowmobiles were new experiences for Sylvia, and she enjoyed them both. Minnesota winters were also new to her. I’ll never forget the snow.” she said. It is so pretty when it falls — maybe because it’s the first time I’ve ever seen so much. When I was younger. I always wanted to see snow. Finally, that dream has come true. Through her A. F. S. experience. Sylvia has gained a sense of independence and a better understanding of America and its customs. As she put it. Gracias a A. F. S. Richfield, mis familias y amigos mi experiencia es un exito para mi vida en el futuro. Love. Sylvia. PATTY WICK HAMILTON, NEW ZEALAND God of Nations! At thy feet in the bonds of love we meet, hear our voices we entreat. God defend our Freeland. Guard Pacific's triple star, from the shafts of strife and war. make her praises heard afar. God defend New Zealand. I feel that the year I had as an AFS student in New Zealand was one of the most important experiences I’ve had in my life. In January of 1983. I left for New Zealand, not knowing what to expect. All I knew was that I was leaving my family, friends, and everything else that represented security, for a year. When I arrived in Flamilton. which was to be my home. I had to start a new life. Settling in I had to extend myself to others because I was the outsider in their community. It took quite awhile to fit into the lifestyle there. I ended up fitting in so well that I didn't want to leave. Not only was the country so beautiful and varied but so were the people. I guess that not only has it been the best and most important thing that has ever happened to me but also the most difficult. I had to leave behind me a whole other lifestyle without the assurance of returning. I don’t know when I’ll be able to return to New Zealand; all I know is that someday I will. I'll always have the wonderful memories that will never, can never be forgotten.” AFS 93 A KJCJt expenses SPORTS Sportj 95 Right: Lucas Becker shows that he is a tower of power. Making Up Lost Ground ______________________________CROSS COUNTRY The cross country team went through a rebuilding season this year after losing almost all of last season’s state tournament team, including state champion Paul Gisselquist (U of M), and 4th place finisher Paul Hoffman (St. Olaf). Also gone was Coach Mike Oi-seth. The reins of coaching, however, were put in the capable hands of Jack Jaglo, and with the assistance of Captains Erich Schawb and Shelly Spragg, many highlights came during the year. Schawb led the boys this year, as Erich ran well all year. He peaked during regions, finishing 5th. which qualified him for state. He was also named All- Conference. The girls had their first official team in three years, led by Spragg. Shelly ran consis-tantly well all season as the girls improved at each meet. Training for both the boys and the girls consisted of running 3-10 miles depending on the runner's ability, hill climbing, and intervals for speed. Meets were run at Basset Creek and Hyland.

The highlights included Richfield's second straight victory over Edina and two 80+ yard runs in their triumph over Kenne dy. Injuries hampered the Spartans efforts, but reserves filled in many of the gaps. Junior Greg Mellesmoen led the team in rushing with just under 100 yards a game, until he sustained a knee injury against Minnetonka Kent Tormoen and Randy Johnson also rai strong games.

Their 2-12 record was not a true reflection of accomplishments as the team steadily improved throughout the season. The team's goal was for each individual to work hard at improving skills. The varsity played in two tournaments which helped to build the team’s confidence.

According to Coach Rudi Martignacco, the Cross Country Ski Team this year was very young. It consisted of mostly sophomores and freshmen. He saw the year as a building season for the future. He also believed that Cross country skiing is a lifetime sport. Even though students were competing as a team for Richfield High School, they were also competing as individuals. The improvement they made from race to race was a sign of success. Coach Martignacco was joined in coaching by Kim Case, a former Richfield High School racer.

X-Country Skiing 113 Drug Awareness ALCOHOL AND ATHLETES During the last year, professional sports have been marred by incidents of drug abuse by athletes The Dallas Cowboys, once known as America's Team, was renamed South America's Team because of an investigation of some of its players for cocaine dealing. Furthermore, four players of the Kansas City Royals were found guilty of drug-related charges and served jail sentences because of it. A recent survey, taken by Search Institute of Minneapolis for KTCA. brought the problem closer to home. Although the sampling of 10.505 Minnesota students in the eighth, tenth, and twelfth grades showed that use of cigarettes, marijuana, ond other drugs was lower in Minnesota than around the country, teenage Minnesotans outdrank their peers in other states. The drinking problem was state-wide. In Maynard. Minnesota, a young girl was killed in a car crash on April 15.1982. after a beer party. Because of the death and the number of people involved in the party, the Maynard School Board voted four to two to eliminate as spring sports, the junior-senior prom, the pops concert, and a senior class trip to Disney World Minnesota High School League rules state that During the school year or during the season of practice, play, or rehearsal, regardless of the quantity, a student Shan not use beverage containing alcohol, use tobacco. or use or consume, have in possession, buy. sell, or give away marijuana or any substance defined by law as a drug. In 1982. the High School Leogue voted to change the suspensions of violators. The first offense now brings a suspension of two games or two weeks, the second offense six gomes, and the third 12 games. The old rules suspended the first offender for nine weeks. 18 weeks for the second, and 36 weeks for the third. Leogue members felt that the original rules were so harsh that coaches would not er • force them. But with the new. more lenient rules, came an effort to bring more treat ment and drug education to athletes. Athletic Director Bob Cofcson said that he had seen an increase in the use of afcohc and other drugs Mr. Coflison said that the drinking laws were the main problem. In an effort to combat drug abuse, a drug awareness program was started. Athletes and their parents were brought togethe to listen to speakers and discuss with the coaches the problems of drug abuse Most of the coaches also attended community intervention classes. Mr. Cofcson saw a healthy sign in these programs, comment ing that Jefferson ond Coon Ropids. the two AA football champions, were two of the first schools to implement a drug pro gram Wee Richfield's. THE SURVEY In January. 1982. 10.505 Minnesota school-age children, grades 8.10. and 12, answered 122 questions about the drug and alcohol use. The survey was taken for a KTCA program. The Chemical People Minnesota, by Search Insti- tute. in cooperation with the governor's office and the State Depaitments of Education and Social Welfare. A more complete look at the findings can be found in the November. 1983, issue of Scene Magazine. Q. How many times, if any. have you had alcohol to drink?

That would be the dedicated group of guys who make up Richfield's unique breed of weight lifters. Weightlifting is essential to a winning team according to Mr. Walker, football coach. Many of the athletes feel that they owe their strength and skill to Richfield's facilities and weight program. Mr. Brian Kispert ran the weight program called Bigger. Stronger. Faster.” Each weight lifter got a t-shirt which said. Iron Man” and a booklet to record improvement and the proper program.

Nancy Ogren and guards Sue Kielty and Julie Sable from the 82-83 team, letter-winners Tracey Bergin. Dawn Smith, and Debbie Lewis returned to support the team. These three leaders gave strength to the team, with Debbie as an excellent shooter from out and Dawn as a rebounding power and strong inside player. Tracey, the best all-around player on the team, along with Debbie, were the co-captains for the 83-84 team. Other players who showed promise this year, in addition to Tracey. Dawn and Debbie. were Mindy Grafing ( a real sparkplug according to Mr. Crosby). Denise St. Aubin. Michele Kielty. Robin Doeden. Dawn Straka. Mary Barta. Kelly Case, and Greta Ophoven.

The Spartans finished with a 8-8 overall record. 6-6 in the Lake Conference South division. The team, led by Captains Joel Kelley and Tim Woebke. had no superstars. Instead, its strength came from the team's overall balance and team play. In some games, as many as 12 players contributed. The front line was strong, featuring Kelley. junior Paul Forsline. and senior Darin Jones, a transfer student from Washburn. The backcourt was led by Woebke. and senior Jon Bender, with back-up help from Greg Hofflander and Brad VanBer-gen. Richfield grew stronger and improved each week, highlighted by two straight upsets over Bloomington Jefferson and Edina. The Spartans also finished third in a holiday tournament at Bethel College.

Intramural sports included football, basketball, floor hockey, and softball. All that was needed to participate was a team and a team name. This requirement sparked some very creative team members to come up with such names as The Green Death. The Munchers.” and The Goon Platoon. Mr. Steady Eddie Edburg was the IM programs coordinator and the official schedule maker. He also supplied the referees and the t-shirts that went to the winning teams. IM sports were a popular alternative to varsity sports, as well as being a creative outlet for those naming the teams. Righti Chris K raker watches Mike tlhs take a shot on goal.

Richfield had Dr. G. and Mr. D. two teachers moonlighting as basketball players. Various students and teachers met to play basketball every morning from 6:30 to 7:20 A.M.. hence the name Early Risers. The game was described as a free-for all. mainly because anyone could play for as long as they wished to or until 7:20. whichever came first. The only requirement was that you shower before going to first mod.

Barter Excuses, Excuses All through school, you've had to think of excuses for why you did or did not do certain things. Sometimes the imagination was hard pressed to find creative answers like The dog ate my math assignment or Mom washed the jeans with my ID card in them.” But this year it suddenly got easier, with the ability to use the best excuse known in high school: senioritis. That deadly disease which hits all students hits the hardest in the middle of the senior year, when Christmas vacation is over, and the next thing to look foward to is graduation. Students can be seen at almost any time in a trance-like state! staring out the window. at the ceiling, at the back of someone's head, even straight at the teachers. Why didn’t that paper get in on time?” Senioritis. How come you forgot how to play the notes in the school song? Senioritis. How could you ever forget that Columbus came to America in 1493?” Senioritis. Is there a miracle cure for this terrible ailment? Of course: Appear at the Met Center on June 7. 1984. at 7=00 p.m.. in a red or white cap and gown, walk up to the podium, receive your diploma, and poofl Your disease is cured! Scmors 135 Tracey L.

Her greatest concern about coming to a strange, country was the uncertainty of meeting new people. Fortunately, shared Mary, “everything has turned out well for me. Everyone has been so helpful and understanding, and there is so much freedom that it has boosted my spirits.' Mary kept busy after school by going to Southdale or to the movies with her friends. Her favonte activities were skiing, ice skating, swimming, and tennis. Although she has a long way toward perfecting her English, she has her heart set on learning Chinese as a third language. Souvahn Keobounpheng left Laos for the United States in 1979. Since he did not know any English, he thought it would be difficutl to make new friends, but, to his surprise, it was not that hard. It had not occurred to him that Minnesota had snow, so it was quite an experience when he saw this strange phenomenon for the first time. During the summer, Souvahn spends much of his time fishing and boating. Although he met many nice people. Souvahn sadly observed that “some people are not friendly at all. They call me names, and they say a lot of bad things about me. I do not know why they pick on people that are a different color. His name is Stefan Mikael Dahlberg. Walking down the hall he looks like many of the Richfield students: medium height, blond hair, blue eyes, carrying an armful of books. Many people would pass him by without giving him a second glance. Yet, those who know him know that he is not |ust another student. Stefan is this year's YFU (Youth for Understanding) student from Helsinki. Finland. He chose to come to the United States to live with an American family for a year and to learn the culture and the language. To leave one’s home and family to go to a foreign country for a year would be hard for most highschool students, yet Stefan seems to be adjusting well. Back in Finland he lives with his father, mother, and two younger sisters His father. Curt, is an engineer who works (or Heldt Trading, and his mother, Maj-Bntt. is a secretary for a company called Philips. His sisters Kat|a and Katherine are 13 and 8. Here in Richfield, he is living with the Miehl family. When asked about his impressions of the United States he said. “I studied a lot about the U.S. before I came and I didn't expect that much of a change. I live with a wonderful family, and I am really enjoying my stay in the United States. 138 Cuilurc One day. Orit's father came home from work and said he was going to be transferred to the United States for two years. It was decided that the whole family would go along. Know ing very little English, Ont Reuben was apprehensive about coming to America. Students were quite friendly when Orit came to Richfield for the first time, and it was not long before she adjusted to the change. After two years, Orit and her family moved back to Israel. Orit was almost more af raid to go back because she had missed two years of hard schooling. In Israel, high school is taken very seriously because, at the end of 12th grade, each student is required to take a difficult test which covers all the material he ever learned from grades 9-12. When a student applies to a college in Israel, his test scores are considered above everything else. Orit's family really liked the United States so. after 8 months. Orit moved back to Richfield. The rest of her family followed shortly after, and her father soon found work. Before long. Orit was an active individual at RHS. Co captain of the Silks, she spent an average of two to three nights each week practicing after school. Ont said, It's really fun being in Silks. I enjoy working with all the girls and performing in public. In 1983, Cyrous Sheikh left his home in Iran to come to the United States. Cyrous believes that people of all countries are basically good so, even with all the propaganda, he was never against Americans and their customs. Cyrous expected high school in America to be easy compared to his school in Iran. Academically. Cyrous has found that there is little or no pressure for a student to his very best. He remarked, The quality of a high school diploma here is pretty low compared to many countries, and the warning of President Reagan is much more serious than most of us think. Cyrous cannot understand why so very few people, living in a so-called democratic society, turn out to vote in elections. He is pleased with the formation of a third mdependant party. In his free time. Cyrous enioys listening to music and watching games. He has recently been introduced to a lot of new sports such as American football, hockey, and raquet ball. When he is too tired to play raquet ball, ping pong, or football (m the snow), he stays inside to play backgammon and video games. Although T.V. is good for his English, Cyrous tries not to waste his time watching it. and so far he has been quite successful. At the end of 1979, a girl and her family started on their way to America. All she had heard about the country was that it was big and that it was free. Loan Mach turned out to be right on both counts: America is big compared to her native Vietnam, and there is freedom here, unlike her homeland after the Communists took over in April, 1975, when all talk slightly related to politics or the government was prohibited and punished. The Mach family came to America with help from Assumption Church, which sponsored them. Vietnam, and she now lives with her mom. two brothers, and three sisters. She says she likes school here, though it is different from schools in Vietnam. Instead of just accumulating enough credits to graduate, students must pass a difficult final exam to complete high school, and an even more rigorous test to enter college. All college fees, though, are paid by the government. Loan doesn't seem to think that people have treated her badly. She says everyone was very nice to her when she first came. She did find it hard to adjust to a new language and was in an ESL class for four months before she felt comfortable with English. Looking back over her years here. Loan thinks one of the weirdest things to get used to was the snow. It's kind of strange, she said, like cotton com mg from the sky. Culture 139 Kelly J. Campbell Robin L. Carlson Cheryl A.

It was probably with mixed emotions that you anticipated graduation day. It was a day you'd looked forward to for so long, yet. as your last high school year drew to a close, you felt sad knowing that you would not see many of your friends and teachers for a long time-some, never again. Try to think back to the day when you were measured for your cap and gown. As you stepped forward to have your head and height measured, you saw visions of yourself dressed in cap and gown walking up to receive your diploma. Momentarily you thought. I must not forget to move my tassel when I walk off the platform.” This last thought jerked you back to reality as you got in line to purchase your extra tassel. Melissa K. Jackie A. Lisa J. Amy E.

Nearly everyone in the class gets a call from the local army recruiter. He's good, really good. He has all the right answers to the questions and has a sales pitch like a cemetary lot salesman. Actually, the army does offer some very good opportunities. As the song goes We don't ask for eperience. we give it. They even offer to help pay part of the college tuition after discharge. That's a matter that deserves some serious thought) these days tuition prices are unbelievable. The army can also help people decide what they want to do with their lives and get them started in the right direction. Sure, some people may not feel that joining the army will solve their problems. There is always the possibility of war that must be dealt with) going to college might be the easiest thing to do right now. it's up to the individual to decide, but keep it in mind as a way out of all the college confusion, even if green isn’t one's favorite color.

Taylor Teigland Thoennes Seniorf 165 WAR IS PEACE FREEDOM IGNORANCE New Year's Day. 1984. The Minneapolis Star and Tribune. The St. Paul Pioneer Press. The New York Times, all carry extensive articles about the year to come, a year made famous by George Orwell in his novel 1984. How close is the world to the Orwellian nightmare? Is the world headed for that same kind of totalitarian society, or will people be able to resist the takeover of their own lives. their own thoughts? In a direct comparison to the book 1984. today's world seems to reflect few of the specific things that Orwell predicted. But in a more general sense there are many similarities, such as language changes which have taken place in the past few years. Oceania's language was Newspeak. an attempt by the government to reduce vocabulary so drastically that abstract thoughts would be impossible. Some scholars think the U.S. is heading in the opposite direction-toward an expanded language with many phrases and words meaning the same thing, and words which soften the impact of unpleasant concepts. For example: “Predawn vertical insertion - The Pentagon's phrase for the helicopter action in Grenada. “Rescue Mission - Invasion. Terminate with extreme prejudice - CIA lingo for killing somebody. “Energetic dissassembly - The nuclear power industry's description of an explosion. Maldeployment”- Being in the wrong place at the wrong time. “Unrequested leave”- Employers term for laying people off. O ••Pre-need - Funeral home operators' term for buying caskets and tombstones ahead of time. IS SLAVERY IS STRENGTH Another aspect of language the totalitarian government of 1 1984 used to control people was doublethink: believing that: opposite things or ideas are both true at the same time. Many examplos of doublethink can also be found in today's, society: The U.S. gives aid to El Salvador because of their humanitarian efforts. and the Salvadorians have death squads. Women are called a minority while they actually represent more than 50% of the U.S. population. The “Moral Majority does not contain a majority of the people in the U.S.. some say it isn't even moral to insist that one value system is the only right one. The television industry uses the term “live on tape to describe some of their productions. There are other things in today's world which come close to| Orwell's projection of life in 1984. Computer surveillance systems can keep track of people's words and deeds: data banks hold vast amounts of information about everyone; subliminal advertising affects people without their knowing it; and technology makes altering the brain's function by using radio waves possible. But there are also several important differences between Orwell's negative utopia and today's society. Parts of the globe are still free from totalitarianism. Everyone in America has the right to vote and the freedom to decide if he wants to use that right. People have a language capable of expressing almost any idea. And perhaps the most importan thing of all, humans still have the ability to think their own thoughts, not ideas programmed by someone else. With this ability to think, to reason, and to communicate, humans should be able to look at Orwell's book, not as a prophecy for the future, but as a warning of what might be if people give up the right to control their own lives.

KX)? After choosing the proof, you drew up a long list of people, many of whom were relatives, to give your pictures to. Then came the toughest decision of all: What to write on the back of each one. Some of these people you had known for years and that made it all the harder. What could you say that was meaningful on an area of six square inches? You sat down and began the tedious task. Thoughtfully, you bit the end of the pen — that's it! Hastily, you scrawled out your thoughts before they left you. You sat back and read what you had written. Somehow it just didn't sound the way you had intended it to. Oh. well, it will have to do.” you thought as you went on to the next. After finishing each picture, you stacked it on top of the next, and pretty soon you had a nice neat pile. That's all for tonight. you decided as you stretched your cramped fingers. Proudly, you flipped through the finished pile. Oh. no! There's an ink spot on my face! Wonder how that got there? Suddenly it occured to you that you should have let them dry before stacking them. Maybe they'll just think it’s a birthmark CAMERA SHY Ratio. Candice M Bessy. Mark D Bratsch. Christopher J Brink. Thomas R Carrier, Kelly J Carroll. Sean I Church. Mart in V. Clausen. Michael T.

Heidi NO PARKING ZONE . .. It’s 7:00 a.m., and you're getting behind the wheel of your car to go to that grand old place you call RHS. Now you have to decide where your are going to park. You could go to the RHS parking lot. A new policy started this year concerning parking permits. You have to purchase one for $25.00 or buy a temporary permit for a dollar a day. Many people did not go along with the idea, leaving the parking lot with many empty spaces. Many thought that the price was too high and that the policy of not being able to take your car out during open lunch was un fair. The lot. however, was monitored bv Midwest Patrol, and the open lunch polic changed for winter trimester. The alternative was to park in th«. street or at a friend’s house. Many drive ways around the school looked like park ing for a Vikings game at the Metrodome Other popular spots included the street near Lyndale Field and the library. Dalmasso.

Dawn There are only five minutes left until the bell rings signaling the end of the hour. You and your biology partner are anxiously watching the time. The two of you always seem to be the last ones finished with your experiment. The time slowly ticks by while you stare nervously at the test tube containing the grasshopper which you are supposed to boil and experiment on. At last, the tube shows some faint signs of beginning to bubble. You and your partner breath a sigh of reliefi it looks as if you’ll make it after all. All of a sudden ... RRIINNGG! Oh. nol It’s a fire drill. All right, class, let's get going. says the teacher. Out the door, to your right, all the way down the stairs and to your left through the parking lot doors. What can you do? With a last desperate look at your experiment now boiling steadily in the water bath, you go out the door. On your way down the stairs, you think. Why does this always happen to me? It looks as if those hours you spent the night before chasing grasshoppers were all for nothing. The thought of having to spend another evening running around with a jar trying to catch little bugs who move a lot faster than you do is almost more than you can bear. Just as you get out the door, the bell rings and it’s time to go back inside. What a dayl BOIL YOUR GRASSHOPPERS AND RUN Peterson. Susan Paam. Arthih Phan. Hien Pbnsky, Scott Potts. Lisa Prawdzik.

Jeffrey An Improved City Richfield ... a small town ... a community made up of many individuals ... individuals working together to make their home town even better. In 1984. Richfield had a lot going for it: an educational nature center, a golf course. 18 churches, and an excellent school system. Yet. one major problem existed: 58% of the single homes in Richfield were occupied by the elderly because no housing programs existed for them. Mayor John Hamilton hoped that a housing program for senior citizens would be built on Portland Avenue near the American Legion. If the program went through, several of those houses would become available to prospective young couples interested in the fine school system. Several other changes were planned for the future. The Lyndale Hub Nicollet project (LHN) went into effect beginning with the addition of a K-mart store on 66th and Lyndale and Marshall's at the Hub. The Red Owl store was subdivided into 3 spaces. One space became Hammond's Organ store, another Gentleman’s Warehouse, and the last space was rented by a restaurant chain. A couple of buildings were to go up near Hauser's. One of these buildings would become a Nautilus Sports Center with a swimming pool on one floor and nautilus equipment on the other. One accomodation Richfield never had was a place for the high school to hold its sports dinners. To solve the problem, the LHN planned an Italian restaurant (Dino’s Puc) to go in between Trcstman’s Music Center and Big Wheel Auto Parts. The restaurant would have meeting rooms lo cated downstairs to attract sports din ners from the high school. Plans for 1985 include putting islands down 66th and Penn (county roads) and adding turn lanes. The place where these two roads cross has become the most congested and hazardous intersection in Richfield. By making those changes, the county hoped to improve conditions and regulate the flow of traffic. It is the responsibility of the Chamber of Commerce to show others that Richfield is a gooo city so that they will want to come and live in the community. Who will recognize Richfield in the year 3000? 132 Junlor Thoughts On The Day After NUCLEAR WAR. Over the years the subject of nuclear war has become a very controversial issue and has aroused concern among many individuals. On November 30. 1983. ABC presented THE DAY AFTER, a terrifying portrait of what nuclear warfare would probably be like. The movie took place in Kansas City. Missouri. and the people involved were average American citizens. Disregarding warnings of a nuclear attack, the people continued to go about their daily routines. Then the air raid sirens went off; the city was leveled in a matter of seconds by nuclear explosions. The film depicted the after effects of the bombs, the panic-stricken survivors suffering from radiation burns and sores, the breakdown of ethical and moral codes, and the utter devistation of the city. Several students at RHS. who took the time to watch the program, expressed their concern in many ways. Senior Kim Samuelson said. I thought it was a very good movie that said some truths that needed to be said. It will make people think about what may come and force them to make some decisions and take sides and maybe do something about it. Julie Olsen said. I feel that the movie is a portrayal of something that could actually happen in our future. The destruction and tragedy that it showed is really much less than if it actually happened, but the meaning stays the same. It is altogether unnecessary and a waste of all human life and everything else. It is a terrible thing and ultimately should never happen.” Susan Johannas remarked. This movie depicted the unimaginable happening, showing that the situation might happen even though everybody said it didn’t happen in 1962. and it won’t happen now. I think the movie will get more people active and aware of the situation involving nuclear arms. Janine Westlund. one of those people who became more aware of the effects of nuclear warfare, commented. It was depressing. I didn't realize how bad nuclear war could be. It made me realize I need to do everything right now that I can for others, for I don’t know when the end is coming. Another stu- dent shared a similar view. I thought it was very realistic, and it got me to think about the situations in the world now and what we could do to prevent it. I am worried that it might happen during my lifetime. During the movie. I didn’t even feel like getting up to get a snack during commercials. It really bummed me out.” One student, frustrated with the nature of man. said. It was very scary to think something like that could really happen, only worse. I wish everyone in this world would get along. Wars are very bad. and I feel strongest that the outcome from them is a very large number of deaths. Erich Schwab, a senior, raised a thought provoking question when he confided. I was scared by the realization of how the general populous of the world can be pawns of the few. I am terrified at the thought of annihilation of the human species. I was angered by our leaders for not realizing the ultimate power they have. I keep hearing a click in this game of Russian Roulette, but how many empty chambers are left?” CAMERA SHY Aldana. fabio Mitts. Mark Simms. Sonia Anderson. Kimberly Mohawk. Daniel Skarhus.

More than a dozen times every year kids would be loaded on a bus. three to a seat, and carted off to Woodlake Nature Center. Sometimes it was to snow-shoe across the lake, learn how to fly kites, or eat picnic lunches. Then in free time” everyone would go off with their friends, try the berries on the bushes, or scare the ducks off the lake. In the shelter was the question and answer board where two buttons were pressed to correspond with what animal ate what food, and a correct answer resulted in a bright green light. Eyes full of wonder followed the man who went in to get the honey away from the bees. Lee tures were heard in the fireplace room' on how loons got their necklace, or ho to make cute little things with dried beans and peas. The moose head was pet ted. and antlers tried on to see how they looked, while a dozen birds flew their still flight across the ceiling. Maybe people did groan about going to Woodlake time after time, but once they got there, it was special, a place away from the monotony of classrooms, spell ing tests, and fractions, a place to have fun. to learn some new things, and to think. A small wilderness to retreat to when city life becomes too much. Mayer. John McAleer. Sharon McClellan. Richard McKeown. Colin Middleton. JiU Miller. Hugh Milton. Paul Milton. Peter Mlsshng.

The pizza just described was from none other than Godfather’s in the Hub Shopping Center on 66th and Nicollet. Godfather’s was rated as one of students’ favorite places to go on a Friday night, or just any time when they wanted to relax and enjoy the good food. Always popular, it was even more so on the evenings of home football games because of it's location near the school. Not only would all the seats be taken but there would be people standing in the aisles as well. Any unsuspecting person who tried to enter the door, would take one look at the lines, shake his head and say to his friends behind him. Let’s try the Bloomington Godfather’s, maybe it won’t be so crowded.” What people won’t do for a Godfather’s pizza. Abatte. Amy Agerllc. Richard Ahlftrom. Dennis Aho. Traci Alters. Gregory Amos.

Renae BZZ • • • Why is it that when most parents sit their children down to tell them about the facts of life they say. Well. now. Susie Johnnie, we think It’s time to tell you some things you should know about the birds and the bees? What's the relationship? Why not hamsters and hippos, or lemmings and lynx? OK. so it’s birds, what kind of birds? Are they hummingbirds. bluebirds, cardinals, robins? Or more exotic birds like peacocks, ostriches, flamingos. or pelicans? As for the bees, are just those insects called bees, worker bees? Are hornets, wasps, and yellowjackets to be left out? There are some things here that mom and dad never mentioned. Sure parents explained about intimate behavior. but most kids knew about that in grade school. What they didn’t know was picked up along the way or covered in tenth grade biology class. However. try to find anything about the birds and the bees” in an anatomy and physiology textbook. The best source of information was the encyclopedia. It said that bees are very good workers and keep their homes clean and neat. Everyone has heard the phrase busy as a bee. Birds sing some of the most beautiful songs In the world, and help Mother Nature by spreading seeds. Do mom and dad know this? Have they been ignorant of the facts all these years? Maybe now It’s the children's turn to say to their parents at dinner some night. Mom. Dad. I think it’s time you knew the facts about the birds and the bees.' Schlmmels. Kirby Schmitz.

Sofiball S Fast Times at Richfield High ____________GIRLS’ TRACK The 1983-84 Girls’ Track Team was headed by Coach Jane Schnirring and Assistant Coach Kim Case. Since the team was small and inexperienced, its goal was to bring RHS up to a competitive level. However, this team was based on a strong core of freshmen and sophomores, so hope for future success is very high. The team, led by Captains Shelly Spragg and Tammy Hyde, finished strong by regions despite their 1-6 record. Among the five region finalists, senior Shelly Spragg and freshman Ann Sawnson were named All-Conference. Upper Right-. The Girls' Track Team is off to a good start.

MUSICAL For six evenings in May. the Richfield High School auditorium was converted into a time machine. Friends, relatives, neighbors, and teachers gathered to participate in the event. They whispered excitedly as they were seated. What would it be like?” They had heard stories from others, but now they would find out for themselves. The lights dimmed and a bright spotlite shone on a man at the front of the auditorium. With a wave of his hands the curtain on stage rose, the music started, and the journey was complete. The modern world of 1984. with its modern problems, was left behind, and the world of Victorian England was entered. Oxford University to be exact. A world of carriages and parasols, where the biggest problem according to Charley Wykeham and Jack Chesney was how to get a chaperone for their afternoon tea with Amy and Kitty. Charley said.

Despite the rather ordinary outward appearance, the school was a miraculously transformation on the inside ... with the help of parents and volunteers, of course. They came in expectation of food, games and prizes, music and good times. That's what they got! Pizza, pretzels, pickels. pop, ice cream, sandwiches. candy and fruit were all placed in strategic spots (within an arm's reachl). You could find the game room and the casino in the Health and Drivers Ed Rooms. Or if cards was not your scene, you could test your skills at miniature golf or the frustrating Jacob's Ladder. To fill the time during the night, there were handwriting experts, a caricature artist and a fortune teller. The graduates rested their feet at the circus and merry-go-round. and to get them back on their feet was live music. At the end of their final evening together, the prize-ladden grads were let out of school for the last time at 5:00 A.M.. just in time for the dawn of a new day.

Giving Meaning to _______________________________Life GRADUATION It rained, and it rained, and it rained some more. The parking lot at the Met Center sat under an inch of water, and there was no possibility of avoiding wet shoes and feet. But inside the building, amid a mass of red and white caps and gowns, spirits were high because June 7th, 1984 had arrived. The Greatest Class on Earth was about to be graduated. After entering to the strains of Pomp and Circumstance” and to a standing ovation from the audience, the class listened to Mr. Maas' welcome, the benediction, and two selections by the choir and orchestra. Student speakers Juli Hall. Chris Goebel, Lisa Hoffman, and Andy Lee each spoke on Giving Meaning to Life. and then it was time for the 430 members of the class to receive their diplomas. It was the last time, except for the senior party, that all the class members would really be together. As people realized this, they seemed to find themselves more able to show their true feelings. Lots of hugs, kisses, and even a few tears were seen after the ceremony, which helped to make the day of graduation even more special. Upper Right: Juli Hall. Chns Goebel.
