Discovering A Wider World The third stage of high school growth is like the adolescent stage where juniors become aware of their wider world and their place in it. Sue Ketcham and Troy Flanagan represent this stage. Juniors now become a very important part on sport teams and in groups, with the responsibility to help organize and lead them. They begin to care a lot about how they look to others, especially the opposite sex. Decisions For The Future In the last stage, symbolized by Mindy Mattox and Scott Ny-Gaard, maturity has developed, and seniors arc filled with many decisions about their future. Seniors find themselves worrying about what college to go to, how much money they are going to need, and what career choices to make. They become the models of the school, by leading events and setting examples. Seniors now realize it’s not just fun and games anymore, but a lot of work and planning. Four Stages Of Student Life 19

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

Fashion: Expressive, Exciting And Personal When it comes to fashion, the “typical” dressing RHS student is by far in the majority. These students are not out to change the world or even turn heads with their wardrobe. They simply dress for the sake of dressing and don’t believe in spending every last cent on the hottest threads in town. Levi jeans are a staple along with basic crew neck sweaters, button-down shirts, and boat shoes. The typical dresser is practical and his her wardrobe reflects it. Their motto is: blue jeans never go out of style. TYPICAL — Styles worn by the typical RHS students are modeled by Sophomores Denise Endrizzi and Tony Moe. : |V I ?;■ i«' ti iY . it RHS jocks are easily recognized because they always seem to have the latest in athletic wear. They have at least two pairs of shoes for every sport: high tops for basketball, Rebok for aerobics, Nike for running, and Kaper for dancing. Their clothing is always loose and comfortable. Sweatsuits or plastic jogging pants with a famous sport team’s jersey often replace the more restrictive jeans, sweaters, and loafers. The jock is never with out his her letter jacket and latest issue of “Sports Illustrated. JOCKS — Jerseys and sweat pants, worn by most jocks, replace sweaters and jeans.
