Dancing Unlimited Shopping for long dresses, getting suits tailored, and ordering boutonnieres and cour-sages were preparations during the week for the big Homecoming Dance on Saturday. September 28. “The Search is Over” was the theme of the dance and Spirit Unlimited provided the music. The dance floor seemed to always be crowded. People were out boppin' to their favorite fast songs or slow dancing with their sweetheart. If not dancing on the floor, others stood in line for pictures, talking with their dates and other friends.

The Four Stages Of Student Life Taking First Steps Matt Nelson and Kerry Peterson represent the first stage in the growth of RHS students. Like toddlers, freshmen often appear innocent and uncertain as they struggle to learn about their new Senior High world. They may be found wandering the halls, confused as to where they are going, or avoiding those upperclassmen who tower over them. Restricted to the lunchroom at noon, they haven’t discovered the joy of eating out. After two trimesters and much help from teachers and friends, most freshmen begin to learn their way around their school. Exploring New Horizons Eric Bolstad and Alison Reiners represent the second stage in the growth of RHS students. Like children, sophomores are still exploring their surrounding world. In this stage they can be found har-rasing freshmen, relieved to not be the youngest any longer. Highly involved in sports and other personal interests, they haven’t developed many relationships with the opposite sex, but they seem to worship them from afar. Now more confident, sophomores become more involved in activities such as Tapaires, marching band, and sports. 18 Four Stages Of Student Life
