With so many activities and chances to express yourself, Richfield High School offers the best of student life. Activities are found inside and outside of school. Whether it is working, going to football games, or watching the queen and king get crowned, it makes for good times. There are also other ways to express yourself. One is through the cars that students drive, from the older cars in mint condition, to the rustiest beater. It is also shown in the fashions, which may run from the most typical senior to the trendiest freshman. Each year the student life at RHS seems to get better. SOPHOMORES! SOPHOMORES!

Il Mom Dad, Can I have the keys? How important is a car? Ask anyone who has a license and they will tell you it is just as important as food is to survival! How many students are willing to walk for thirty minutes just to report to work when one can drive the distance in ten minutes. What about the times when sleep overtakes the desire to arrive at school on time. Those students that have found their time in the morning slip away know what it means to have a car handy. A possible less desirable result of having access to a car may be all those errands parents delegate. Many students know what it is like to have plans interrupted so brothers and sisters can get places. Juniors and seniors realize the importance of a car during lunch. Since those students have the freedom to leave the confin-ments of RHS, the pull is more convincing with a car available. With all the stress put on the cars students drive, it is no wonder drivers spend so much time polishing and primping their cars. Why spend so much time? For some, the motivation is showing off their cars. For others, like Laura Telander, it is just knowing her car is clean. For Tracy Kleven cruising around in her Trans Am makes for the perfect afternoon. If the car doesn't catch someone's eye a student could always resort to Bill Linnemon's attention technique of spinning the tires.
