...10 1,12 €»hift The natives are getting restless, and the graduation announcements haven ' t even arrived yet! This proclamation by Mr. Clayton Cosimi pretty much summed up the sentiments of many teachers. This year ' s senior class had the in- clination to look forward to graduation more than those before. The types of rowdy actions shifting keys which the teachers talked about were not the juvenile acts per- formed by little freshmen like beating each other up in the hall, and banging lockers or screaming in the lobby. The senior acts were more planned out and sophisticated, like taping question- able pictures on the overhead screen, and putting something in O, Hear me then, injur- ious shifting time! — Shakespeare Mr. Cosimi ' s glass of water which he keeps on his desk. Often these types of actions were dismissed due to senioritis . Teachers became less likely to ask for tardy slips, and would excuse a student for less valid reasons than before. This is the way that it has always been and always should be. The senior class, however is likely to leave their mark in a rather unique way. So I will see you at about five o ' clock tonight? You bet, then be ready to go out after, alright? A conversation such as this could be heard virtually every Fri- day just after the last bell of the day had rung. The group of people it was heard from were musically inclined, in fact, the topic of con- versation was practice for their bands. One band leader, Marlin Witherite, lead guitarist of The Radio-Active Laxitives, has been playing the guitar for seven years. I hope to become a professional musician, but as of now I am just For the complexion shifts to strange effects — Shakespeare playing it by ear, Marlin stated. The other band, Oedipus Rex, is struggling to get a start on some working jobs. We have a busy fu- ture, right now we are working on songs for graduation parties and we plan to try out for a Battle-of- the-Bands, enthusiastically report-| ed Mike Birli. SHIFT IN RESPONSIBILITY Worries? Burdens? Responsibilities? However one ' s problems are termed, the way that one handles his responsibilities is what counts, and one person who is up to the challenge is senior Sharon Wisniewski. Responsibility is her middle name. Although her in- terests don ' t lie in sports, she is in her fourth year of Ski club, and is president this year. Being responsi- ble for the conduct of 40 people is a large task; however, Sharon has the help of adviser. Miss Boellner. Respect is earned through the proper handling of responsibility. Sharon has earned this in the Mat Maids organization. Sharon is not an officer, but is at all of the away matches, and serves as an authoritative figure f or new Mat Maids. As a Mat Maid, Sharon is quite proud of the wrestlers, and the other Mat Maids. The Mat Maids over extended themselves in 82-83 to make the wrestlers feel appreciated. 169 Seniors A-C

BUS SHIFT Attention please, there will be a few bus changes today. Bus 2 will replace bus 4. Bus 3 will replace bus 2, bus 6 will replace bus 3, bus 8 will replace bus 6, and those who normally ride bus 8, tough luck, you walk. An announcement such as this one was expected after all of the bus changes that were announced. Nearly every day at about 3:00, the soothing melodius voice of guidance secretary Ann Carroscia could be expected, with tidings of bus changes. On occasion, nearly the entire north side of Richmond Heights was taken home by one bus. This led not only to cramped space, but some students didn ' t get home until 4:00. The reason for the bus changes is not known by the students; it is speculated that perhaps the bus drivers enjoy watching students when they realize that the bus is going in the op- posite direction of their house. More likely, it is due to bus breakdowns or driver illness. temperate shift The 1982-83 winter temperatures reached unseasonable highs this year, rising to fifty-five to sixty degrees during the month of Feb- ruary. Although this w as a disap- pointment to the skiers and other winter sports fans, most Richmond Hts. students took to the change willingly, discarding layers of win- ter outerwear for lighter jackets or f ' From what ever direction Ithe wind is.

I The question that might be asked is did the winter of ' 83 real- ly happen, or was it just a shift from summer to spring? aged shift May I see your I.D. please? I ' m sorry but I cannot sell you that beer. But I ' m eighteen, why can ' t I buy it? The new beer law, well accepted by young adults nineteen years of age and above, was a detrimental factor to the eighteen-year-old ' s summer partying. NEW BEER LAW Effective August 19tti - No sale of 3 k eer to 18 year olds August 19th to October 1st- t9and 20 year olds may piflx hase 3.2 beer only. October 1st- Anyone 19 years old or older ma] pwchase redefined beer. Starting on August nineteenth, the sale of 3.2 beer to eighteen- year-olds was prohibited. From Au- gust nineteenth to October first nineteen and twenty year olds could only purchase 3.2 beer. As of October first anyone nineteen years of age or older may purchase redefined beer. The reactions to this law from The times do shift each thing his turn does hold; New things succeed as former things grow old — Robert Herrick the eighteen year olds was one of disappointment because eighteen was the age that every high school student waited for. The magic age of eighteen meant that one was considered an adult and could visit bars and legally purchase beer. With the new beer law, the only thing that eighteen year olds have to look forward to is voting and going to war. Seniors D-H 171
