Students' endless pride and enthusiasm for RHS was without a doubt Beyond Expectation RHS gained more than offensive yards at the beginning of the year. A new band director, more college-level classes, fifteen Commended Merit Scholars, and another first-place win for the Tapaires at state were only a few of the things that caught you expecting the unexpected. The “Olympics of Excellence kept you working hard in school while the weekends arrived just in time bringing a much needed change of pace. “We started the school year better than ever before, said Princi pal Richard Maas. “The Freshmen made one of the smoothest transitions to high school life ever, stu- dents excelled in all activities, and everyone showed what kind of a student body we really have. Students adjusted to their new status in the school and Seniors in particular, expressed their joy of being the oldest. Being a Senior meant freedom, something that took only a short time to adjust to. I expected Senior Study to be more restrictive. I like the freedom we have to leave if we want to, said Paul Debettignies (12). RHS was the best place to be and it showed in the way you talked, dressed, and performed. You soon realized expecting the unexpected was one of the best parts of RHS. — Lara Putrich HARD AT WORK? — Jesse Rains (9) and Darby Hendrickson (9) use their spectrascopes to measure things other than the spectrum of the sun.
