The decorating was the best part of Homecoming Week. It promoted a lot of class spirit and brought students closer together, Dee Iones 1121. Blast From The Past Homecoming activities spotlighted three decades of students who have attended Richland. By: Lori Urban You dragged yourself out of bed dreading another Monday morning at school. Yet, when you walked through the foyer doors you felt as if you were in some sort of time warp. James Dean and Marilyn Monroe stood over to the side close to the pink soda fountain. As you continued your walk you found the school halls filled with psychedelic posters, flash- ing lights and disco balls. You glanced up at the massive decorated walls and read a sign: A BLAST FROM THE PAST - RICHLAND Time travel continued during the week as concerts were put on by students portraying groups such as Jimi Hendrix, The Beatles, and The Mamas and The Papas. Phone Booth Stuffing Contests and Twist Contests were as popular as Decade Dress- Up Day , where each class dressed up as their appropriate decade. tSeniors: 195O'sg Juniors: 1960'sg and Sophomores: 1970'sl. Not only these, but the traditional Spirit Link and Penny Jar Contests pro- moted Homecoming enthusiasm. Continued on page 14.

Design by Tonya Davis Blast From The Past Decorations promoted unity and spirit as students made their own memories of Homecoming 1987. By: Lori Urban When Friday finally arrived every stu- dent felt the electricity in the air. The noise of bells from mums and garters jingled as they filled the halls. The gym had been decorated for the special Home- coming pep rally which welcomed all ex students in Rebel style, Dr, Fred Murphy, a 1968 graduate, was honored as Most Distinguished Alumni. The Seniors of '88 will always remem- ber being announced as the winners ofthe Spirit Trophy. Football players will re- member the football game against Sam Houston and how the Rebels dominated the Texans. Some will remember Tammie Klozik's ride as Homecoming Queen. But the most vivid memory will be the unity established between everyone. The long hours of hard work in preparation for The Spirit Trophy is a traditional award received by either the sophomore, junior, or senior class, Amy Reeves, Roby Eisner, and Larry Weisinger l12l take the honor of pre- senting it to the seniors for their spirit and support.

Photo by Chris Mullins. Homecoming are easily paid for when the memories of the togetherness and friend- ships made play back in one's mind. It is these memories that are not forgotten. Homecoming was, in the minds of many, the highlight of the year, at least up until this time. Almost every club and organization did something to promote this traditional week long event. This was also the week of sixrweeks test but no- body really seemed to mind the extra work and then going home to study for their exams. Everyone worked together, granted there was some confusion, but there was no doubt that it brought the school population closer together. Eve- ryone worked as hard as they could to make Homecoming 1987 a year to re- member.
