When May and June arrive in the spring, most students think of one thing! Summer. Most school activities are coming to a close and Seniors are feeling graduation in their heads during the long monotonous school days. The blistering heat and the roaring sounds of lawn-mowers were the rewarding sounds of summer, a sign that summer jobs and summer recreation would soon begin. Many students started their sum- mer vacation by attending the Richmond Hts. annual Home Days. The location for this yearly event was the airport grounds where also could be found a variety of games, foods, and entertainment for all ages. Another big day of the year for Richmond Hts. is held annually in the month of August. Family Day at the city park brang together both the young and old to partici- pate in fun and games. After playing baseball, volley, shuffleboard, and bocci ball the worn out participants took a re- warding swim in the public swim- ming pool in the park. Others relaxed in the shade of the trees, while others sampled some of the tantalising food which was packed away in coolers for later festivities. The summer of ' 82 also brought the most concerts ever to Cleve- land and its surrounding area. Blossom Music Center had the honor of bringing them to us. With a variety of acts, from Donny Iris starting the season to Micheal Stanleys ' four night stand, and Lover Boy got in on the act. When asked Tony Mannella exclaimed, It was one of the best concerts I have ever been to. Not only because of the concert but because of the company I was with. ARE WE STUCK?

STARTING up the year The beginning of the year brought about nnany shifts that were obstacles for all students. From sports with new coaches, such as former wrestler Bob Powlowski, now assistant freshman and Middle School wrestling coach, to shifting social matters, such as enlarging the airport. New faces in enrollment give us a chance to meet new people, such as exchange student Mitsuka Hayosho. Even new teachers to get to know, such as new science teacher, Mrs. Roberts. It is sufficiently clear that all things are changed, and nothing really perishes, and that the sum of matter remains absolutely the same. — Francis Bacon. This is true as seen especially throughout the tone or spirit the students have to- ward sports and other activities. Ju- nior Steve Wiese states, Seems like no one cares, they do their own thing. Football games had fewer fans than previous years even though cheerleaders did the most possible to make new and original ways to entertain both fans and football players. Junior Ann Regier stated, We had fun with teammates . . ., and some games were really great as fans joined in cheers. Pep assemblies were held for all winter sports. Although football was highlighted, tennis and cross country conquered many obstacles along with team goals. Senior Rick Quade said, No one even knew we had a tennis team, but we made it worth our own time. Sophomore Darryl Bremic added No people meant no extra pres- sure from outside, which let me experience one of the best times of the year. All teams took in pep assemblies, but as normal some worked out and some didn ' t. One event that always works is homecoming. Students all get a chance to participate. Of course there ' s the big game which was played against Cardinal. Unfortunately the Spartans lost with a 10-7 outcome. But as player FLAMING EXPECTATIONS. Hard work is put into constructing the bonfire on October 8, 1982. But it is wortli it as it was seen burning by members of the community. 20 Starting up the Year
